Where strapi earns its place
Strapi suits teams that want headless content delivery with open-source economics and self-hosting control: your data on your infrastructure, no per-seat fees, and a JavaScript-native API layer your front-end teams already speak. The trade is operational ownership, which is a good trade when you have or buy the discipline.
Our work covers content architecture, API design, and the hosting discipline that keeps it reliable: staged deployments, tested upgrades, and backups. For heavier editorial platforms, compare our WordPress development team's approach.
What our strapi development services cover
The headless lifecycle, from content model to hosted delivery.
Content architecture
Content types, relations, and components modelled on your real requirements, so the CMS grows without restructuring pain.
- ✓Content type design
- ✓Relation modelling
- ✓Reusable components
- ✓Draft and publish workflows
Custom API development
REST and GraphQL APIs shaped for your front ends, with permissions, caching, and versioning done properly.
- ✓REST and GraphQL endpoints
- ✓Role-based permissions
- ✓Caching strategies
- ✓API versioning
Custom plugins and extensions
Strapi extended where its admin and APIs fall short of your workflows, built to be upgrade-safe.
- ✓Admin panel extensions
- ✓Custom field types
- ✓Lifecycle hooks
- ✓Third-party integrations
Front-end integration
Headless delivery into Next.js, mobile, and other clients, with preview workflows editors actually get to use.
- ✓Next.js integration
- ✓Preview and draft workflows
- ✓Media pipeline setup
- ✓Incremental revalidation
Self-hosting and operations
Strapi deployed on your cloud with CI/CD, monitoring, and tested backups, so self-hosting is a strength not a risk.
- ✓Cloud deployment
- ✓CI/CD pipelines
- ✓Monitoring and alerting

What every engagement includes
Every Strapi 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 Strapi 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 Strapi 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 with strapi
Systems our team delivers on the platform.

Multi-channel content hub
One Strapi instance feeding web, mobile, and digital signage with channel-shaped APIs.
Product content system
Structured product content and media serving your commerce and marketing surfaces.
Documentation and knowledge base
Structured internal knowledge delivered to internal tools with role-based access.
Migrated content estate

How a Strapi Project Runs
Six stages, each with a sign-off gate before the next begins.
- 01
Discovery
We map your Strapi 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 Strapi 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. Strapi 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 Strapi 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 strapi builds
Default choices, stated with reasons.
Platform
Current Strapi releases with upgrade-safe extension patterns, so custom work survives version upgrades rather than fighting them.
APIs
REST and GraphQL with role-based permissions, caching layers, and documented contracts your front-end teams can rely on.
Database and media
PostgreSQL as the default with managed media storage and CDN delivery, sized to your content volume.
Operations
Containerised deployment on your cloud with CI/CD, monitoring, and rehearsed backup and restore procedures.
How intelligence flows through the CMS
What each layer reads, and what it changes.
Content assistant
Drafts and edits within your content workflows.
Reads
Content history, style guides
Changes
Draft entries and suggestions
Content intelligence
Surfaces gaps and performance signals across the library.
Reads
Entry analytics, usage data
Changes
Editorial recommendations
Moderation layer
Screens submissions before publish.
Reads
Draft content, policy rules
Changes
Approval queues
What's included, standard
The baseline on every Strapi 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 Strapi 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.
Operations runbook
A documented runbook covering deployment, backup, restore, and upgrade procedures for your self-hosted instance.
Strapi vs hosted headless CMS
The honest trade-offs, as we advise them at discovery.
| Criteria | Consideration | Self-Hosted Strapi | Hosted Headless CMS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensing cost | Open source, no seat fees | Recurring, scales with usage | |
| Data location | Your infrastructure | Vendor's cloud | |
| Ops burden | Yours (or our managed service) | Vendor-managed | |
| Customisation | Full code access | Within vendor's extension model | |
| Time to launch | Weeks, including setup | Days, platform ready |

Why teams pick us for strapi work
The differences live in engineering habits, not pitch decks.
Content model first
We model your real content requirements before building, because a headless CMS restructured later costs tenfold what modelling costs first.
Upgrade-safe extension
Custom plugins and admin work follow documented patterns, so Strapi version upgrades remain walkable, verified in writing.
Self-hosting done properly
Containerised deployment, CI/CD, monitoring, and rehearsed backups, so open-source ownership is a strength instead of a liability.
Editor experience preserved
Preview workflows and structured editing are designed in, so going headless does not mean making your editors miserable.
Track record since 2010
9,000+ projects and 3,900+ apps across 25+ countries, held to the same delivery bar as everything else.
