CMS, answered honestly.

WordPress or headless?

WordPress for < 100 content pieces/month, non-technical team, simple feature needs. Headless (Sanity, Contentful, Payload) for complex content models, multi-platform publishing (web + app + email), or fast custom frontends. Right answer depends on your team + scale.

What&apos;s Sanity / Contentful / Payload?

Headless CMSs — content API + editor UI, no frontend. Your developers pick any framework (Next.js, Remix, etc.). Sanity + Payload are flexible + developer-friendly; Contentful is more enterprise-polished. We pick per team + budget.

Will our content survive a migration?

Yes. Content + images + metadata + URL structure all migrate. 301 redirects preserve SEO. 400+ migrations completed without ranking loss. 60-day post-launch monitoring catches any drift.

What about page builders for non-tech marketers?

Yes — every CMS build ships with marketer-friendly visual editing. Sanity + Storyblok have live visual editors. WordPress + Gutenberg blocks. Custom page-builder components for headless setups. Marketers publish without engineering involvement.

How much does a CMS project cost?

WordPress custom theme: $5-15K. Sanity / Contentful / Payload implementation: $15-40K. Full migrations with complex content modeling + 500+ pages: $40-80K. Ongoing retainer for editorial support: $2-6K/month.
