Overview
CMS Development at 24Square Technologies
Our CMS development services cover WordPress, headless platforms and custom content management builds for organisations that publish regularly. A good CMS is judged by the people using it every week, so we design the editing experience first: what a page is made of, which parts are fixed, and which parts an editor can safely change.
That structured content approach makes publishing faster, keeps the design consistent and allows the same content to feed a website, a campaign landing page or a mobile app through one API when you need it to.
A CMS is rarely the whole project. It usually sits alongside custom web development for the parts of the site that need bespoke functionality, and we build both so the front end and the editing model are designed together.
For WordPress sites that also sell, the same content structure extends into WooCommerce through our eCommerce development services, keeping catalogue content and marketing content in one place.
Keeping a content platform stable takes ongoing work. Our guide to WordPress maintenance and regular updates explains what that involves, and we can run that maintenance for you after launch.
Problems this service solves
- Page builders that let anyone break the layout
- Content duplicated across dozens of unmanaged pages
- Editors waiting on developers for routine updates
- Plugin-heavy installs that are slow and hard to update
- No structured content to reuse in apps or other channels

FAQs
CMS Development FAQs
Cannot see your question here? Send it over and we will answer directly.
- Should we use WordPress or a headless CMS?
- WordPress suits teams who want everything in one place. A headless CMS suits organisations publishing to several channels or needing a custom front end. We advise based on your team and roadmap.
- Can you rebuild our current WordPress site?
- Yes. We usually replace page-builder pages with structured blocks, reduce plugin dependencies and improve performance during the rebuild.
- Will editors need training?
- We keep the interface simple and provide a short walkthrough plus written documentation for your team.
- Can the CMS power a mobile app as well?
- With a headless setup the same content can serve your website and mobile applications through one API.
