What we build with Strapi, Contentful and Sanity
Websites on a headless CMS
Next.js, Nuxt, Astro and Angular sites, statically generated or server-rendered and revalidated the moment an editor publishes, with structured data for search engines and fast first loads.
Content models and editorial workflows
Types, fields, references, reusable components and validation designed with the editors, with roles, approval steps and scheduled publishing, so content is written once and reused by the website, mobile apps and every other channel.
Visual editing and previews
Click-to-edit previews of draft content on the real page through Contentful Live Preview, Sanity’s Presentation tool, Storyblok’s Visual Editor or Next.js draft mode.
Migrations to a headless CMS
Pages, posts, media and authors moved from WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager or another headless CMS into a structured model by repeatable scripts, with every old URL redirected so search rankings survive.
Self-hosted Strapi, Payload and Directus
Open-source and source-available CMSs on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud with the infrastructure as code, PostgreSQL, backups that are restored to prove they work, custom plugins, and upgrades such as Strapi 4 to 5.
Multilingual and multi-brand content
Locales, fallbacks and translation workflows through Phrase, Lokalise or machine translation, and several brands or regions run from one CMS, with each language served at its own URL.
Content for headless commerce
Landing pages, product stories and merchandising in the CMS combined with product data from Shopify, commercetools, BigCommerce or Magento, so marketing edits the shop without a developer.
Editor extensions and CMS plugins
Custom inputs and plugins for Sanity Studio, Contentful App Framework apps, Strapi plugins and Storyblok field plugins, including AI-assisted steps for translation, summaries and image alt text.
Search, DAM and marketing integrations
Algolia or Elasticsearch search, Cloudinary or Bynder assets, HubSpot or Salesforce forms, and personalisation and A/B testing tools, connected through webhooks so a publish updates everything that depends on it.

Choosing a headless CMS
Contentful when you want a managed service with mature roles, workflows and governance across many spaces. Sanity when editors collaborate in real time and the content model changes often. Storyblok when marketers want to build pages visually. Strapi or Payload, both open source, or the source-available Directus when you want self-hosting and the data on your own infrastructure. Hygraph when content has to be joined with other APIs in one GraphQL schema.
We recommend one from how your editors work and where the content has to appear, and build the front end, the content model and the previews as one team.

Questions about Strapi, Contentful and Sanity development
Which industries do your headless CMS developers work in?
Mostly e-commerce and retail, with content-led shops and campaign pages; software and SaaS companies, with marketing sites, documentation and help centres; fintech and insurance, with product pages that pass compliance review before publishing; healthcare and wellbeing, with multilingual patient and product information; media and publishing; education; and marketing agencies running sites for their clients.
Which headless CMS should we choose?
The one that fits how your editors work and where the content goes. We work on Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, Storyblok, Payload, Hygraph, Directus, Prismic, DatoCMS and WordPress used headless, compare them against your requirements and build on the one you choose.
Can you move our site from WordPress or another CMS?
Yes. Content is moved by repeatable scripts into a structured model and checked against the old site, and every old URL is redirected to its new address so the site keeps its search rankings.
Who builds the front end?
React, Next.js, Vue and Angular engineers on our team, so the front end, the content model and the editor previews are one team’s work, with iOS and React Native engineers when the same content feeds an app.
How quickly can headless CMS developers start?
When the right headless CMS developer is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.
How do we hire headless CMS developers through BigTree108?
Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.
Who owns the work they produce?
You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.
Planning a headless CMS?
Tell us who edits the content and where it has to appear. You get an answer within one business day: a recommendation and a plan, or candidate profiles.
