Developer Experience

Define your content. Ship it.

Type-safe content models powered by Prisma. Your schema becomes your API, your types, and your admin forms — automatically.

  title       String
  slug        String   @unique
  content     String   @db.Text

Testimonials

Loved by developers.

See what engineering leaders say about building with our CMS template.

We migrated from WordPress to this CMS monorepo and our deployment time went from 20 minutes to under 2. The type-safe API layer alone saved us weeks of debugging.

Alex Thompson

Head of Engineering at CloudNest

The monorepo architecture is a game-changer. Our admin dashboard, public site, and docs all share components and types — no more copy-pasting between repos.

Priya Sharma

Director of Engineering at ScaleOps

We evaluated Contentful, Strapi, and Sanity. This template gave us more control, better developer experience, and zero monthly fees. It was an easy choice.

Michael Chen

CTO at NovaTech

Setting up a multi-tenant CMS used to take months. With this template, we had a working prototype in a weekend. The Prisma + Next.js combination is incredibly productive.

Sarah Williams

VP of Product at Elevate Labs
