Code-first and flexible, giving devs full control without sacrificing editor experience.

|Payload CMS
Payload CMS has excellent, developer-friendly documentation that makes it easy to get started and build fast. With the release of Payload 3.0, it now runs on Next.js, which significantly boosts development speed and pairs perfectly with Vercel for smooth, quick deployments. The system is highly extensible, making it simple to create reusable, templated projects that can be shared across multiple applications. Additionally, the community is very active and supportive in areas like the Payload Discord and GitHub, making it easy to find answers or get help when needed.

Customizable, Continually Improving and Easy for Non-Developers to Use

|Payload CMS
Our web developers have been able to tailor Payload to suit our specifc needs, without exception. Anything we ask, they are able to make Payload do just that - not an experience we've had with our previous platform. Our website is tremendously easy to edit and add pages to, without the help of web developers, which has significantly lessened the time and resources spent on maintaining our site. We were also able to integrate our Digital Asset Management software into Payload, which has streamlined processes signficantly further.

Payload: The Next-Gen CMS You've Been Waiting For

|Payload CMS
The documentation was clear and effective, there were many examples that could be found on their own GitHub, and they have a very active discord community that are always willing to help when you run into problems. Extremely fast turn around time from blank slate to production. The ease of use, one command and you're up and running. Having Typescript across the project helps to not shoot yourself in the foot. It's a very modern and sleek workflow, and can solve many of the required tasks out of the box. Their hosting solution was very easy to use and at an affordable/fair price.

It allows full access to the source code enabling developers to tweak and extend functionalities as needed. Key features of Payload include a powerful GraphQL and REST API, real-time content editing, robust access control, and detailed documentation. The platform is highly regarded for its straightforward setup, scalability, and the ability to integrate smoothly with existing projects and modern development workflows.
