Overview
Headless CMS is the right call when the frontend benefits from a modern framework and the content team needs editorial freedom. Our headless CMS developers architect content models that survive two product redesigns, integrate with Next.js / SvelteKit / Astro frontends, and design preview workflows that editors actually use. We've built on Sanity, Storyblok, Contentful, Payload (self-hosted), and Strapi — and we'll tell you which one fits your team rather than which one we sell.
Why Techyor.
Senior. Specialist. Shipping.
Content modeling depth
Document types, references, embedded content, slug strategies, localization. We design schemas that don't need to be torn down in two years.
Preview that works
Live preview, draft mode, on-demand revalidation — set up so editors see changes the way users will. The preview workflow is part of the deliverable.

How you can hire.
Three ways to engage.
Dedicated Full-Time
A senior developer working exclusively on your product, embedded into your team, sprint cycle, and rituals. Best for roadmap-driven work with continuous shipping.
Part-Time / Fractional
Two to three days a week of senior expertise. Ideal for early-stage teams, technical advisory, code review, or supplementing an existing in-house team.
Fixed-Scope Project
Defined milestones, outcomes, and timeline. Best when the brief is clear and you want a predictable budget. Includes design, QA, and handover.
How it works.
Simple. No theatre.

FAQ.
Common questions.
Which headless CMS do you recommend?
Sanity for developer-led teams that want full schema control and powerful querying. Storyblok for marketing teams that want visual editing. Contentful for enterprise content workflows. Payload for self-hosted with TypeScript-native config. Choose by team, not feature comparison.
Can you migrate from WordPress?
Yes — we extract content via WP REST API or WPGraphQL, map to the headless schema, preserve URLs, set up redirects, and shut down WordPress when the new site is live.
How do you handle preview?
Next.js Draft Mode + revalidatePath/revalidateTag for on-demand. Sanity Live Preview for real-time editing experience. Storyblok Visual Editor for editor-led drafts. We set the workflow up so editors don't need to ping engineers.
Localization?
Per-CMS approach. Sanity uses internationalization plugin or custom field structure. Storyblok has language folders. Contentful has locale-per-field. We design schemas with i18n in mind from the start.
Self-hosted or SaaS?
SaaS (Sanity, Storyblok, Contentful) for most cases — managed infra, auto-scaling, regular feature updates. Self-hosted (Payload, Strapi) when data sovereignty, customization, or cost-at-scale demands it.
Performance for content sites?
Static generation (SSG/ISR) with on-demand revalidation. CDN-cached. Edge functions for personalization. Most headless sites we ship hit 95+ Lighthouse Mobile.
How fast can a developer start?
For most roles, within 5–10 business days from the intro call. We pre-qualify our bench so onboarding is contracts and access — not a hiring search.
Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements?
Yes — every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a clean IP assignment clause. All work product is your property the moment it's written.
What time zones do your developers cover?
Our team primarily operates in IST with 4–6 hours of overlap with US Pacific, full overlap with EU, and full overlap with AU East. We commit to overlap windows in writing.
