Bespoke CMS development
A CMS shaped
around your business.
When a standard website admin area gets in the way, we build the content and management tools around the way your team actually works.

Your workflow.
Not somebody else’s template.
A bespoke CMS is useful when the content, processes or data behind a website do not fit comfortably into a standard off-the-shelf system. Hoot designs the administration experience around the people who will actually use it.
The result can be as focused as a tailored content editor or as broad as a management console that connects customers, staff, website content and mobile apps.
- Purpose-built editingOnly the fields, tools and controls your team needs.
- Roles & permissionsDifferent access for administrators, staff or customers.
- IntegrationsConnect existing data, services and business processes where required.
- Web & app connectionsOne management platform can support multiple digital products.

Platforms that
keep evolving.
Total Drive combines a website, award-winning mobile app, console and management platform. Smeaton Data also brings a website, app and management tools together. These are examples of the kind of project where a bespoke platform creates more value than adapting a generic CMS.
Hoot can design, develop, host and continue extending the platform as the business changes.
Questions
When bespoke
makes sense.
When should I choose a bespoke CMS instead of WordPress?
WordPress is a good fit for many content-led websites. A bespoke CMS becomes valuable when the admin workflow, permissions, data structure or integrations are unusual enough that you would otherwise spend the project fighting a general-purpose system.
Can you replace an existing internal system?
Potentially. We first map what the current system does, what data needs to move and which parts of the workflow should change before proposing a replacement.
Can a bespoke CMS power a mobile app?
Yes. A custom platform can provide the data and management tools used by both a website and mobile app.
