CMS Development

Your CMS should make updates feel easier.

We improve WordPress, Shopify, and custom CMS setups with the fields, plugins, templates, integrations, and admin tools your site needs.

Start with the CMS task that slows the team down. Complete technical spec not required.

Before The CMS is technically editable

Pages, plugins, blocks, forms, products, and settings exist, but updates still need workarounds.

After The CMS supports the way content works

Fields, reusable blocks, admin tools, integrations, and custom functionality fit the site.

When To Bring In 589 Software

When the CMS needs the right custom layer.

Bring us in when editing, plugins, integrations, or maintenance make the site harder to own.

Plugins are carrying one process

Several plugins split one workflow and make ownership unclear.

589 helps: Move the business-specific piece into focused custom code.

Editors avoid changing pages

Updates require fragile layouts, hidden settings, or developer help.

589 helps: Create fields, reusable blocks, templates, and editor guardrails.

The theme owns too much logic

Important functionality is tied to the active theme.

589 helps: Move durable business logic into plugins or integrations and keep the theme focused on presentation.

The CMS needs another system

Forms, products, leads, payments, CRMs, or email tools need to share data.

589 helps: Build integrations with clear ownership, error handling, and admin visibility.

The site is getting slower or harder to maintain

Old plugins, heavy builders, snippets, scripts, and content growth add brittleness.

589 helps: Audit, remove overlap, improve performance, document, and rebuild only what needs it.

Common Examples

Common ways this takes shape.

Common CMS problems usually look like one of these.

Generic plugin stack to focused custom plugin

Business-specific logic, fewer hidden dependencies.

Fragile page edits to reusable blocks

Structured fields, templates, and safer content updates.

Disconnected CMS data to clean integration

Leads, orders, members, events, products, APIs, and cleaner rules.

Awkward store settings to custom workflow

Shopify, WooCommerce, pricing, fulfillment, and product logic.

Messy admin area to maintainable CMS

Plugin audit, template cleanup, documentation, and stabilization.

How We Shape The Project

Start with one clear CMS project.

No need to know the fix yet. We turn the CMS problem into project scope.

Platform:Which CMS should own the site?Editors:Who needs to update content?Content:What needs structure?Plugins:What should stay, change, or go?Logic:What should be custom?Systems:What needs to connect?Admin:What visibility should staff have?Scope:What belongs in this project?

Scope the CMS fix together

  • Owners
  • Risks
  • Outcomes
2

Map content and data

  • Pages
  • Fields
  • Integrations
3

Build the CMS layer

  • Plugins
  • Blocks
  • Launch

Good Fit

Best when the site needs clearer ownership.

Good fit

  • CMS friction has real business cost
  • Editors need safer updates for pages, products, posts, or blocks
  • Plugins overlap or imitate one business process
  • Custom functionality should survive a redesign or theme change

Wait or simplify

  • A standard plugin solves the need cleanly
  • The content model is still changing every week
  • The site only needs a quick visual edit or one-off content update
  • Nobody can decide who owns the content or process
