Payload CMS
Our CMS is a modern content management system built for high-performance, accessible, and sustainably maintainable websites.
It combines a high-quality, flexible frontend with a clearly structured, editor-friendly backend, based on well-defined technical standards.
We use Payload CMS (open source) as the technical foundation and extend it with our own concepts, features, and best practices.
The result is a CMS tailored to real-world project requirements: scalable, future-proof, and a pleasure to maintain.
Frontend
The frontend of our CMS is designed for performance, accessibility, and flexibility.
It works reliably across all devices and meets modern requirements for accessibility and user-friendliness.
Frontend Features
- Responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile
- High performance through modern rendering strategies
- Accessible & screen reader compatible (keyboard navigation, semantic markup)
- Built-in light and dark modes
- Multilingual support and clean URL structures
- SEO-friendly structure, including sitemaps and structured content
- Flexible content presentation
Content is built using clearly defined, reusable components. This keeps pages consistent while allowing editors to work flexibly.
Typical components include:
- Hero sections
- Content & media blocks
- FAQs, timelines, steps
- References & teams
- Code and media embeds (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo)
Backend & Admin Area
The admin area of our CMS is clearly structured, secure, and designed for everyday editorial work.
Complexity is applied where technically necessary—not in daily content management.
Editorial & Management
- Clear and intuitive admin interface
- Well-defined content models
- Reusable content blocks
- Role- and permission-based access
- Multilingual content with clear separation
Security & Control
- Optional two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Role-based access restrictions
- Clean separation of admin, API, and frontend logic
- Full traceability of changes
Extensions & Modules
ForgeOne CMS has a modular architecture. Additional features can be added via clearly defined modules without compromising existing content.
Examples of extensions:
- Blogs (News, Tech, etc.)
- Forms & cookie consent
- Gallery
- Knowledge base / documentation
- Events
- Search & SEO functions
- Redirects
- Taxonomy (categories, tags for blogs, galleries, events, pages, knowledge base)
Our CMS is based on Payload CMS, a modern open-source content management system.
ForgeOne extends and customizes this foundation to deliver stable, maintainable, and project-ready solutions.
