Average load time
The frustrations of a traditional CMS.
WordPress, Joomla or Drupal? Then you are probably running into these problems.
A slow website
Plugin stacked on plugin. Every page loads slowly, visitors drop off and Google penalises you in the search results.
Locked into themes
Your design is stuck with the limits of a theme. Every small change costs hours or is simply impossible.
Security risks
A visible /wp-admin, outdated plugins and known vulnerabilities. Your website is a target.
The CMS that stays out of the way.
As an official Directus Partner we know exactly what this CMS can do. Directus wraps your SQL database in instant APIs and a no-code admin panel. You keep full ownership of your data. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary formats.

Instant REST & GraphQL APIs
Connect a database and get documented APIs in seconds. No boilerplate, no generation step. Works with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite and more.
Visual admin panel
Non-technical team members manage content through a clear, customisable interface. Editing pages, uploading media, handling translations: all without a developer.
Your data, always
Unlike SaaS CMS platforms, your content sits in your own database. Switch frameworks, rebuild the frontend or add new channels without migrating data.
Multilingual out of the box
64+ languages supported natively. Create localised versions of any piece of content with per-language SEO fields and publishing controls.
Automation out of the box
Directus Flows handles event-driven workflows natively. No Zapier or Make needed. Trigger actions on data changes, schedules or manual input.
Fully extensible
Custom modules, interfaces, API endpoints and hooks through the Extensions SDK. White-label the admin panel in your own identity if you need to.
Four layers, each replaceable.
Directus wraps your own SQL database in instant APIs and a no-code admin panel. The frontend sits separately, so we pick that per project.

Everything about web development with Directus.
What is Directus and why do you use it?
Directus is an open-source headless CMS that gives any SQL database instant REST and GraphQL APIs. We use it because it gives clients full control over their content through an intuitive admin panel, while our developers have complete freedom on the frontend. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary data formats.
What is the difference between a headless CMS and WordPress?
WordPress ties your content to a specific theme and rendering system. Directus separates content from presentation. The result: faster load times, better security (no visible admin URL) and the ability to publish content to websites, apps and other channels from one backend.
Can I manage my own content after launch?
Yes. Directus has a visual, no-code admin panel that non-technical users pick up quickly. You edit copy, upload images, publish pages, manage translations and set permissions without touching code. We provide training with every project.
Which frontend technologies do you use?
Mainly Nuxt (Vue.js) and Next.js (React), combined with Tailwind CSS. The choice depends on project requirements, team experience and performance goals. Both work directly with Directus through the official SDK.
How long does an average project take?
Most websites go live within 6 to 8 weeks. That covers discovery, design, development, content production (photography, video, copywriting), testing and CMS training. Complex e-commerce or multilingual projects can take 10 to 12 weeks.
Do you also handle hosting and maintenance?
Yes. We offer managed hosting with daily backups, SSL and monitoring. Monthly maintenance packages cover updates, security patches and support hours for changes or new features after launch.
