Payload CMS development agency

You may need a content platform, an internal tool, a marketplace, or an application with its own admin. Payload gives us one backend for all of them.

We define the collections, relationships, workflows, and permissions in code. Your editors get an admin panel built around their work, while your developers get typed APIs and a codebase they can extend.

Our Payload CMS development services cover the whole build, from data model and screen design to integrations, deployment, and training. If a project is already underway, we can join your developers and own a defined part of it.

The repository and infrastructure sit in your accounts, so the system can run without keeping us in the middle.

Content and data modeling

We map what your system holds, how records relate, and who can see or change them. This becomes the foundation for the admin panel, APIs, permissions, frontend, and first release.

Design and build

We design the customer-facing screens and admin experience in Figma. Once agreed, we build the model, APIs, workflows, admin panel, frontend, integrations, and deployment.

Payload CMS migration

We review the content, data, URLs, integrations, and editorial workflows, then model the new system before anything moves. The migration plan covers field mapping, cleanup, redirects, validation, and launch.

Internal tools and AI

We build portals, dashboards, approvals, and operations screens on your application backend. Multi-tenancy and role-based access control decide each person's organization, access, and actions. We can also add document processing, private search, and AI workflows that follow those permissions.

E-commerce

We build B2B and B2C platforms covering products, variants, carts, orders, payments, storefronts, and administration. We connect shipping, tax, inventory, and accounting services where they form part of the scope.

Support and maintenance

After launch, we handle Payload upgrades, security patches, performance, new collections, workflows, and product features. The work stays with a team that understands the model behind it.

We use Shape Up to define the problem, the proposed solution, the boundaries, and the time the work deserves. We do this before design or development starts, so the project begins with decisions instead of a growing list of requests.

We speak with the people who run the process, inspect the existing systems, and map the data and permissions. Then we write a short pitch covering the build, its boundaries, and the first release.

What you get: a shaped project with a clear scope, a time budget, and the decisions needed to begin.

We agree how much time the project gets, then shape the scope to fit it. That gives you a fixed price and a date your team can plan around before the build begins.

When new information appears, we protect the time budget and adjust the scope. The essential workflow ships first, while lower-value additions return to the next decision.

What you get: a fixed price, a planned release date, and a written boundary around the work.

We build the backend, APIs, admin panel, frontend, integrations, and access rules as one application. Payload sits at the center, while the rest of the stack follows your product and your team's needs.

You work with the people making the decisions and writing the code. We use AI for research, specifications, implementation, and testing, with the team reviewing what ships. If your developers are already building, we work inside their tools and own an agreed part of the system.

What you get: a deployed application in your accounts, with working software your team can review throughout the build.

We test the final workflows, move the production data, check the redirects, and launch from your infrastructure. The repository, deployment access, service accounts, and environments all remain under your control.

We record walkthroughs and run a live session with the people who will use the admin panel. The handover covers the model, permissions, daily workflows, deployment, and the decisions behind the system.

What you get: a live application, recorded documentation, and a team that can operate it without depending on us.

We work from the UAE with teams across the GCC, Europe, and the US. Projects are delivered remotely, with on-site work available in the UAE for workshops and launches.

Building here also gives us practical experience with Arabic and English systems. We plan localization in the data model, including which fields vary by language and which stay shared. For groups with several brands, regions, or clients, we design multi-tenancy and permissions into the foundation instead of adding them after launch.

We design and build the product, not a document for someone else to interpret. The same team works through the model, screens, code, launch, and handover, so decisions stay connected from one stage to the next.

Shape Up gives each project a clear appetite and boundary before we commit. AI-assisted delivery helps us research, specify, build, and test with more context in the room. Neither replaces judgment. The team remains responsible for the model, the code, and what reaches production.

You keep the code, accounts, and infrastructure. You get direct answers about scope, price, and fit while deciding. We can also work inside your product team instead of leading the whole build.
