Reach Larger Audiences with AI-Enhanced Distribution

A focused engagement: for example, a headless CMS built on a framework like Sanity or Contentful with custom schemas and a front-end delivery layer: is a Production Application build at $60K to $200K over 3 to 5 months, depending on the number of content types, editorial workflow complexity, and surfaces to support. A full subscription platform with paywall logic, payment integration, subscriber portal, and entitlement enforcement across multiple surfaces is larger, and multi-surface programs move into our Enterprise range of $200K+ over 6 to 12 months. We scope each engagement after a discovery sprint so numbers are based on your actual requirements.

Yes, and this is often the most cost-effective path. We have built editorial tooling, custom input components, workflow automation, and delivery layers on top of Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, and Prismic. If your existing CMS has the right data model for your content but lacks the workflow features or delivery integrations your team needs, extending it is significantly faster and less expensive than a migration. We will audit what you have and give you an honest assessment of whether to extend or replace.

We have integration experience with Stripe Billing (the most common choice for media), Recurly, Chargebee, and Zuora. For subscriber identity and entitlement we have built on top of Piano, Memberful, and fully custom identity systems depending on the client's need for vendor independence. We handle the webhook infrastructure, failed payment retry logic, dunning sequences, and entitlement propagation to your CDN or application layer. If you need to support Apple or Google in-app purchase alongside web subscriptions, we build the unified entitlement layer that reconciles receipts across stores.

Traffic resilience is an architecture decision we make at the start of an engagement, not a performance fix applied after launch. For editorial and delivery layers we build on CDN-first architecture (Cloudflare, Fastly, or CloudFront depending on your existing contracts) with aggressive edge caching for public content and origin protection for authenticated subscriber requests. Static generation or incremental static regeneration for high-traffic page types keeps origin load minimal during spikes. We conduct load testing before launch against projected peak traffic profiles, and we document the specific scaling dials your team can adjust without engineering support.

Content migrations are a defined workstream in every CMS engagement. We begin with a content audit to map every field, taxonomy, embedded asset, and relationship in your current system to the target data model. We write migration scripts that handle field mapping, slug and URL preservation (critical for SEO continuity), and media asset transfer. For large catalogs the migration runs in parallel with the build so you are not blocked waiting for data. We also set up 301 redirect rules for any URL structures that change, and we validate the migrated content against a sample of your most-trafficked pages before cutover.
