CMS development built for control and speed.

CMS development and headless CMS consulting in Australia

A content management system should let your team publish quickly and confidently without a developer for every change. FAZ Australia designs, builds and migrates CMS platforms for organisations across Australia from our office in Canberra, from straightforward WordPress websites to headless CMS architectures that feed websites, apps and other channels from one source of content.

Traditional or headless CMS: which do you need?

A traditional CMS such as WordPress manages your content and renders your website in one system. It is a sensible choice for marketing sites where the team wants a familiar editor and a large plugin ecosystem.

A headless CMS stores content separately from how it is displayed and delivers it through an API. That makes it a strong fit when the same content needs to appear on a website, a mobile app and other channels, when you want a fast modern front end, or when security and performance requirements rule out a plugin heavy setup. Popular headless options include Contentful, Sanity, Strapi and Payload; the right choice depends on your editors, budget, hosting and integration needs, and we help you compare them honestly.

Content modelling that keeps working as you grow

Most CMS problems come from content structures that were never planned: dozens of one off page templates, duplicated content and fields nobody understands. We start by mapping your content types, relationships and editorial workflow, then build structured content that is easy to reuse, consistent across the site and simple for editors to manage.

Migrating from an old CMS without losing search rankings

Moving platforms is where many organisations lose traffic. We plan migrations around your existing URLs, set up permanent redirects for every page that moves, carry across titles, descriptions and structured data, and monitor Google Search Console after launch. We recently moved our own website from WordPress to a modern framework using the same approach, retiring old URLs with redirects so search engines follow the changes cleanly.
