Contentful App Development Services
We build on Contentful for teams that need API-first content at multi-channel scale: content modelling, custom apps, and composable delivery, with the governance that keeps enterprise content sane.
insight
What contentful builds require beyond the platform
Contentful is genuinely excellent at what it does: API-first content, multi-space operations, and composable delivery. The engineering work is around it: content models that survive organisational change, custom apps for workflows the platform does not ship, and delivery layers that keep multi-channel output consistent.
We build content architectures, custom Contentful apps, and delivery integrations, plus the governance (naming, roles, workflows) that decides whether enterprise content scales or sprawls. For self-hosted alternatives, compare our Strapi development approach.

What every engagement includes
Every Contentful project ships with the following, agreed in writing before the first sprint begins.
Discovery workshop
A structured workshop maps your goals, users, and constraints into a scoped Contentful roadmap with a fixed written quote before any sprint starts.
Named senior team
You get named, senior engineers with CVs you can review, not a rotating bench. The people in the kickoff are the people who ship.
Sprint demos every two weeks
Working builds are demoed live each cycle with CI running on every merge, so progress is visible in software, not slideware.
100% source-code ownership
All Contentful source, configurations, designs, and documentation transfer to you on delivery with no licensing strings or vendor lock-in.
60 days of post-launch support
Engineering time is on standby for two months after go-live to triage defects, tune performance, and stabilise the release at no extra cost.
12 months of free updates
Compatibility updates, security patches, and platform upgrades ship free for a full year after handover.
What you can build on contentful
Systems our team delivers on the platform.
Enterprise content hub

Multi-channel publishing
One content source feeding website, apps, and digital screens through shaped, cached delivery APIs.
Composable commerce content
Product experience pages and merchandising content composed with your commerce platform.
Custom workflow apps
Contentful apps implementing your approval and media workflows directly in the editing interface.
Migrated content estate
Legacy CMS content moved to Contentful with structure redesigned and editors enabled.
How a Contentful Project Runs
Six stages, each with a sign-off gate before the next begins.
- 01
Discovery
We map your Contentful goals, users, and constraints in a structured workshop, ending in a fixed written quote and an architecture risk list.
✓ step 01 complete - 02
Solution design
The Contentful architecture, integrations, and delivery plan are designed and reviewed before build work starts, so scaling later is not a rewrite.
✓ step 02 complete - 03
Foundation sprint
Repositories, CI, environments, and a walking skeleton are set up first. Something real runs on a staging URL before feature sprints begin.
✓ step 03 complete - 04
Sprint delivery
Two-week sprints with live demos every cycle. Contentful work is reviewed, tested, and merged continuously, so scope surprises surface early.
✓ step 04 complete - 05
Hardening and launch
Performance, security, and accessibility checks run against agreed budgets, followed by a staged Contentful launch with monitoring from hour one.
✓ step 05 complete - 06
Support and handover
60 days of included support, 12 months of free updates, and documentation that lets your internal team own the system with confidence.
✓ step 06 complete
The stack behind our contentful builds
Default choices, stated with reasons.
Content architecture
Modelled content types with documented governance, designed against your organisational structure rather than page layouts.
Delivery
GraphQL delivery layers with CDN caching and channel-shaped APIs, so front ends stay fast and decoupled.
Apps and extensions
Custom apps on Contentful's app framework for workflows the platform does not ship, built to its review standards.
Integration
Commerce, DAM, and translation platform integrations with monitored webhooks and reconciliation where content flows both ways.
How intelligence flows through the platform
What each layer reads, and what it changes.
Content assistant
Drafts and localises within your workflows.
Entries, style guides, glossaries
Draft entries and translations
Content intelligence
Surfaces performance and coverage signals.
Entry analytics, channel data
Editorial recommendations
Moderation layer
Screens content against policy before publish.
Draft entries, policy rules
Approval queues and flags
What's included, standard
The baseline on every Contentful engagement. Not an upsell tier, just the floor.
Fixed written quote
The price agreed at discovery is the price you pay, with change handled through explicit scope changes rather than silent drift.
Solution architecture document
System design, data flows, and technology decisions written down so your team can audit and own the result.
Dedicated project manager
One accountable point of contact with real authority over the delivery, not a message relay between time zones.
QA on every build
Automated and manual testing on each Contentful release candidate, with defects triaged before anything reaches production.
Security review
A checklist-based security pass covering authentication, data handling, and dependency vulnerabilities before launch.
CI/CD and environments
Pipelines, staging, and preview environments configured from week one, so releases are routine rather than dramatic.
Analytics and monitoring
Instrumentation wired before launch so you can see real user behaviour and system health from day one.
Documentation and handover
Code comments, runbooks, and architecture notes written for your next developer rather than for our convenience.
Governance documentation
Role, workflow, and naming documentation shipped with delivery, so the space stays orderly as teams grow.
Case studies that speak volume
Etihad Airways
A high-traffic consumer platform our team ships and operates at national-carrier scale, the same bar every build is held to.
PragPlay
A consumer platform from the same engineering system, proving the infrastructure core holds under real-time load with strict uptime demands.
Marvel Studios
A high-volume consumer experience our team ships at global-release scale, the same discipline applied to every launch.
Why teams pick us for contentful work
The differences live in engineering habits, not pitch decks.
Modelled on organisation, not pages
Content types reflect your structure and channels, so the model survives redesigns instead of breaking at the first one.
Governance shipped with delivery
Roles, workflows, and documentation are deliverables, because enterprise content sprawls without them and policing is not a system.
Multi-channel by architecture
Delivery layers shaped per channel with caching, so adding an app or screen is configuration rather than a project.
Editors enabled, not just migrated
Migration includes training and documentation, because a CMS nobody can drive well is a failed migration regardless of data fidelity.
Track record since 2010
9,000+ projects and 3,900+ apps across 25+ countries, held to the same delivery bar as everything else.
