Strapi is the open-source headless CMS for teams who want the content model, the database and the admin under their own roof: Node.js, TypeScript, any SQL database, deployed wherever your infrastructure lives. Editors get a clean admin; developers get REST and GraphQL APIs they can extend in code.
Our Strapi development services cover the content model and admin customisation, the front ends that consume it, plugins and integrations, hardened deployment and the migrations from monolithic or SaaS CMSs onto infrastructure you control.
Let’s talk StrapiContent services
From the content types to the hardened deployment behind your perimeter, our Strapi development services cover the self-hosted headless stack end to end.
01
Collection and single types, components and dynamic zones designed with the editors, roles and permissions that match how your teams publish, internationalisation configured, and the admin customised — fields, views, branding — so it feels like your tool.
02
Strapi plugins and lifecycle hooks in TypeScript for the logic the platform does not ship — approval workflows, integrations with commerce, search and translation, custom field editors, scheduled publishing — kept upgrade-safe and documented.
03
Websites and apps on Next.js, Nuxt or your framework consuming Strapi’s REST or GraphQL APIs, with preview, on-demand revalidation and the caching layer that makes a self-hosted CMS as fast at the edge as a SaaS one.
04
Strapi in containers on your cloud or on-premises — PostgreSQL, object storage for media, secrets management, backups tested by restore, monitoring, and a pipeline for schema and version upgrades — inside the network boundary your compliance regime requires.
05
WordPress, Drupal or a SaaS headless CMS mapped into Strapi types and migrated with rerunnable scripts, media moved to your storage, URLs and metadata preserved, and a parallel run until the new stack is proven — bringing the content home without losing its search equity.
Benefits breakdown
Why hire us for Strapi, in five lines you can hold us to.
Content, database and admin run where you decide — your cloud region, your data centre, your perimeter — which is why it suits residency and security regimes.
Open source with no usage-based fees: add editors, content types and API calls without a pricing conversation.
Plugins, hooks and custom controllers in the language your team already writes — the CMS is a codebase, reviewed and tested like the rest.
A clean, customisable admin with roles, drafts, i18n and review — headless does not have to mean a developer publishes everything.
PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite behind; Next.js, Nuxt, mobile or anything that speaks REST or GraphQL in front — the content model outlives each of them.
Tech expertise
Strapi is the self-hosted content layer in this stack; here is what we ship around it. Every name with a page of its own is a link.

What changes when the team actually knows the stack, in six rows.
| Feature | DigiWagon | Other agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fluency | Contentful, Strapi, Sanity, headless WordPress — we know the content APIs, the limits and the pricing cliffs, and we say when a platform is the wrong fit. | One CMS for every brief, whether or not it fits. |
| Content modelling | Models designed with the editors who will use them: references, locales, validations and previews that make sense in the admin. | A schema that mirrors the database, not the editorial work. |
| Estimation | Honest timelines and budget, no surprise line items — the estimate names its assumptions. | Estimate comes with ‘oops, missed that!’ |
| Performance | Edge-cached delivery, image pipelines and build strategies chosen so a content change is live in seconds, not a redeploy. | Every publish is a twenty-minute build. |
| Editorial workflow | Roles, review, scheduling and rollback set up so marketing ships without a developer in the loop. | Every content change is a ticket. |
| Post-launch care | Model migrations, plugin audits, upgrades and monitoring — we stay after the launch, not just for it. | You are on your own after go-live. |
Industries
Three of the nine industries we build for, with the Strapi fit behind each, linked to the industry page.
01
Product marketing, documentation and in-app content from one self-hosted model, extended in TypeScript by the same team that owns the product, deployed in the product’s own cloud account.
Strapi for SaaS & Technology02
Product catalogues, technical documentation and dealer content managed centrally and delivered to websites, portals and field apps, hosted inside the company’s own infrastructure.
Strapi in Manufacturing03
Content and knowledge platforms that must run inside a controlled network with no third-party SaaS in the path — a CMS your security team can inspect, host and audit line by line.
Strapi in DefenceInsights
Writing from the platform work: the CTO’s guide to composable enterprise, composable SaaS architecture for hyper-personalised B2B platforms, and generative AI’s role in hyper-personalisation.
FAQ
Direct answers on Strapi versus SaaS headless CMSs, hosting, security, editors, upgrades and what our Strapi development services include after launch.
Ownership and residency. Strapi runs on your infrastructure with your database, so content stays inside your region and perimeter, there are no per-seat or per-call fees, and the platform can be extended in TypeScript without vendor permission. A SaaS CMS wins when you want zero infrastructure; we recommend by regime and team.
Wherever your infrastructure lives: containers on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or DigitalOcean, or on-premises for controlled networks. PostgreSQL for the database, object storage for media, secrets in a vault, backups tested by restoring them, and monitoring. The deployment is infrastructure as code so your team can own it.
Least-privilege roles and API tokens, single sign-on where you have it, a hardened container image, network boundaries so the admin is not on the public internet, dependency and Strapi version updates on a schedule, audit logging and backups. Self-hosting is a responsibility; we set it up so it is a routine, not a risk.
Yes, if the model and admin are built for them: content types that read like the content, components and dynamic zones for flexible pages, drafts and review, internationalisation and a preview of the front end. Where the default admin is awkward, we customise fields and views rather than asking editors to adapt.
Strapi publishes migration guides for major versions and we plan upgrades into the roadmap, with custom plugins written upgrade-safe and a staging environment to rehearse. Minor updates ride the normal dependency cadence. An upgrade that is scheduled and rehearsed is a task; one that is postponed for two years is a project.
Scheduled Strapi, Node and dependency updates, security patching, infrastructure monitoring and backups, content-model changes as the business evolves, front-end updates and editor support. Documentation and runbooks are handed over at launch; we run the platform for you, with you, or hand it over entirely.
