Content Management
Systems
We build intuitive, flexible CMS setups that let you manage your site with ease - content control where you need it.
Take control of your content
No one wants to raise a support ticket just to fix a typo. That’s why we build content management systems that are easy to use, hard to break, and tailored to how your team actually works. Whether you're managing a small site, a sprawling content portal, or a growing digital platform, we’ll help you keep your content organised, consistent, and entirely under your control.
At Blue Lobster, we prefer 'headless' CMS solutions - fast, flexible systems where content and code live happily apart. It means you get a slick and secure front-end for your users, and a clean back-end for your editors. Everyone wins.
Why use a CMS from Blue Lobster?
Built for your content
We don’t use off-the-shelf templates. We design content models that reflect your actual needs - so managing your site feels logical and low-maintenance.
Payload specialists
We primarily use Payload CMS for most of our builds. It’s modern, headless, and highly customisable - ideal for dynamic websites, portals, and web applications.
Editor-friendly interfaces
Our admin dashboards are designed with clarity and usability in mind - with sensible defaults, helpful labels, and no unnecessary clutter.
Custom roles & permissions
Whether you’re working with a small team or a large consortium, we can set up fine-grained roles so everyone sees what they need (and nothing they don’t).
Multilingual & multisite
Need to manage content in multiple languages or run several microsites from one admin? No problem. We can do both - at the same time if you need it.
Secure, scalable, and future-proof
We build with longevity in mind. Our CMS setups are secure, performant, and easy to extend - ready to grow as your content or team evolves.
Tools we use
- Payload CMS - our go-to for headless content management. It’s flexible, developer-friendly, and endlessly customisable. We’ve been using it for years and know how to get the best out of it.
- Custom APIs to integrate with external systems or legacy databases when needed
All our CMS builds are version-controlled, well-documented, and ready for continuous deployment.
If you have a preferred CMS you'd like to use (such as WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, etc), we can happily work with the technology you choose.
Content confidence, delivered
We believe your website should be as easy to manage as it is to use. A well-built CMS gives you the freedom to publish, update, and expand your content - without ever needing to touch the code.
