Development Technologies
From custom web applications built with Nuxt, Laravel and Strapi to CMS websites and online stores on WordPress, Drupal, Kentico and Magento, each technology has its own strengths. Explore what each one does best and when we recommend it.
Headless CMS
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built with JavaScript and TypeScript. Content teams get a friendly editing panel, while every content type becomes an API that a Nuxt website, mobile app or other frontend can use, so content is managed in one place and published wherever it’s needed.
Most websites run on more than one technology. Here’s how common project needs map to the right web development stack, and how each piece works with the others.
| Project Need | Recommended Stack | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate website that needs to rank on search engines | Nuxt + Strapi | Editors manage content in Strapi, while Nuxt renders each page on the server, so visitors and search engines get fast, readable pages. |
| Customer portal or booking system with logins and payments | Nuxt + Laravel | Laravel handles accounts, data and business logic behind the scenes, then connects to Nuxt through an API for a fast, responsive frontend. |
| Website and mobile app sharing the same content | Strapi | Content is entered once in Strapi and delivered through its API to both the website and the app, keeping them in sync. |
| Government or university website with many editors and languages | Drupal | Role-based access, built-in multilingual tools and accessibility features help large teams publish in several languages. |
| Website the marketing team updates often | WordPress | A familiar editor and a large library of themes and plugins let teams update pages and add features with little technical help. |
| Organisation that wants content and marketing tools together | Kentico | Kentico combines content management with digital marketing tools, so content and campaigns run from a single platform. |
| Online store with a large product catalogue | Magento | Magento is an e-commerce platform that manages product catalogues, shopping carts and checkout in one place. |
Strapi is a content management system that stores and manages content separately from the website that displays it. This is what “headless” means. Your team works in an editing dashboard, while a website built with a framework such as Nuxt displays the content. The design can change without requiring the content to be rewritten from scratch.
Strapi is useful when you need a custom website, structured content reused in several places, or content shared between a website and an app. A conventional CMS may be simpler for a straightforward site built around ready-made themes and plugins. With Strapi, the CMS and the visitor-facing website are separate parts that both need development and maintenance.
Yes. We can organise the editing screens around familiar items such as services, articles, projects and FAQs. Editors update text, images and agreed page sections through those fields rather than editing code. Reusable sections help keep pages consistent. New content structures or layouts may still need a developer; Strapi is not automatically an unrestricted drag-and-drop website builder.
Yes. Strapi can supply content through APIs, which let different applications request the information they need. For example, a website and an app can use the same product descriptions or news articles instead of maintaining separate copies. Each channel still needs its own integration, and update timing depends on its publishing and caching setup.
Yes. Strapi supports separate language versions of content, including Bahasa Malaysia and English. We configure which content needs translation and how visitors switch between languages on the website. Your team can manage each version in the CMS. Translation, review and the handling of missing translations should be agreed as part of the project.
Yes. Strapi’s editor roles and permissions can separate content preparation from publication and limit access to agreed content areas. We define those responsibilities with your team. If you need a formal multi-stage approval process, Strapi’s built-in Review Workflows feature requires an Enterprise plan; it should not be assumed to come with a basic setup.
Budget for hosting, database and media storage, backups, maintenance and any selected paid Strapi features or third-party services. The website connected to Strapi also needs upkeep. We identify these recurring items when recommending the setup, so the decision covers day-to-day operation as well as the initial build.
