FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which CMS does SAM AI Solutions recommend, WordPress, Payload, or Sanity?

The right CMS depends on your editorial needs and tech stack. SAM AI Solutions most commonly recommends Payload CMS for custom-built Next.js sites (powerful, code-first, no licensing fees), Sanity for content-heavy projects needing real-time collaboration and structured content modelling, and WordPress for organisations with existing WordPress expertise or large plugin ecosystems. We steer away from page-builder CMS platforms (Wix, Squarespace) for professional business sites due to performance and flexibility limitations.

What is a headless CMS and should we use one?

A headless CMS separates content management (the back end) from content presentation (the front end). Your content team manages content in the CMS admin; your development team controls exactly how it is displayed on the website, app, or any other channel. SAM AI Solutions recommends headless CMS (Payload, Sanity, Contentful) for businesses that need content across multiple channels (web, app, digital signage) or want maximum frontend performance with frameworks like Next.js.

How much does custom CMS development cost?

A custom CMS implementation at SAM AI Solutions, including content modelling, admin interface, editorial workflows, and integration with the frontend, typically costs ยฃ8,000โ€“ยฃ30,000 depending on the number of content types, custom field requirements, and editorial workflow complexity. Headless CMS setups sit in the ยฃ10,000โ€“ยฃ25,000 range. WordPress custom theme and plugin development starts at ยฃ5,000.

Can your team migrate our existing content from one CMS to another?

Yes. CMS migrations are a core SAM AI Solutions capability. We have migrated content from WordPress to Payload CMS, Drupal to Sanity, Contentful to Payload, and various legacy systems to modern headless CMS platforms. We export, transform, and import content programmatically, including images, metadata, and relationships, and implement URL redirects to preserve SEO equity.

Will our marketing team be able to update content without a developer?

Yes, non-technical content management is a primary design goal for every SAM AI Solutions CMS build. We configure intuitive admin interfaces, clear content structures, live preview functionality, and role-based permissions so editors can create, update, and publish content without touching code. We include a training session and documentation for your team at handover.
