CMS Development

Content Management System (CMS) web development involves creating websites that allow non-technical users to easily create, edit, and manage online content.

Instead of depending on website developers for every change, CMS platforms like Wordpress enable businesses to manage their content using point and click  interfaces and customizable tools. Roket create CMS websites that combine user-friendly management with great performance, the ability to grow, and custom design. This ensures you have a site that looks good, functions well, and is easy to maintain.

Several types of CMS platforms exist, each with different strengths based on needs.

Custom WordPress Development

The most popular CMS worldwide, WordPress is flexible and has a large ecosystem of plugins. It can scale from simple blogs to large enterprise websites.

Drupal Website Development

A robust, developer-friendly CMS that works well for complex, content-heavy sites needing strong security and advanced features.

Joomla Design + Dev

A flexible CMS that strikes a balance between usability and advanced options. It is often chosen for community-driven or membership sites.

Shopify & WooCommerce (for WordPress)

These are special CMS solutions made for e-commerce store development, providing tools for product management, payment integration, and scalable online stores.

Headless CMS Development

Platforms like Contentful or Strapi separate content management from the front-end display, giving businesses the flexibility to deliver content across websites, mobile apps, and other digital channels.

Custom Built Content Management Solutions

For businesses with specific needs, Roket also develops custom CMS website and apps  that ensure flexibility and total control over your content and features.

Roket's CMS Website Development Process

Mission Planning: The first step in any CMS website at Roket is our proven, client-inclusive Mission Planning process that removes guesswork and sets every website on a clear path to success. We gather input from stakeholders, analyze competitors, and define your project goals to create a custom roadmap to guide website design, CMS development, and website content management decisions.

Design & Prototyping: After Mission Planning, our UX and UI experts focus on the website user experience. We map user journeys, plan content structures, and create wireframes to examine layout and functionality. From there, we refine high-fidelity prototypes that incorporate brand elements, interactions, and visuals. This stage is highly collaborative, welcoming feedback so the final design resonates with both your team and your audience.

Development & Customization: With designs approved, our developers begin building the CMS website using the chosen platform, whether it’s WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Shopify, or a custom solution. We customize templates, features, and integrations to meet your business requirements while ensuring the site is scalable, secure, and optimized for performance with attention to detail.

Testing & Quality Assurance: Before launch, every feature and workflow undergoes thorough testing. We verify performance across browsers and devices, ensure plugins and integrations function correctly, and optimize speed and usability. Our QA process guarantees that your custom CMS website is reliable, secure, and ready for real-world use.

Deployment & Maintenance: Launching a CMS website involves careful coordination to minimize disruptions and ensure everything works as intended. We manage deployment, provide training for your team, and hand off documentation for easy content management. Beyond launch, we continue to monitor, update, and optimize your website, keeping it secure, high-performing, and aligned with your evolving business needs.

FAQ: CMS Website Development Service

What is a CMS, and why should I use it for my website?

A Content Management System, is a platform that allows you to create, edit, and manage website content without requiring advanced technical skills. Using a CMS makes it easier for businesses to keep their websites up to date, manage blogs, add new pages, and adjust visuals or text on the fly. It separates content from design, allowing teams to focus on delivering content while effortlessly maintaining a consistent look and feel.

How long does it take to develop a CMS website?

The timeline for developing a CMS website varies depending on the complexity, design, and features required. A simple CMS website with basic pages and standard templates can often be completed within a few weeks, while larger, custom websites with multiple integrations, advanced functionalities, or e-commerce capabilities may take several months. Things like content migration, plugin customization, and testing also influence the timeline. Roket works closely with clients during discovery and planning to provide a realistic project schedule.

Simple websites built on platforms like WordPress can start at a few thousand dollars, while more complex, custom CMS solutions or enterprise-level sites can range significantly higher.
