CMS

Custom CMS development where your own team defines the content types

A new page type, lesson, product or announcement goes live without waiting for a release. Who can see what, and who is allowed to change it, is defined alongside the content model.

What it is

A custom CMS is a content platform where your own team defines the content types instead of queueing behind a developer. Who gets to define a new type, and who is allowed to see or change each piece of information, is settled while the content model is drawn. Vipkurum lets its institutions define their own assessment standards, and Çatalca Merkez Kasap moved a printed menu onto one page.

The real question in content management is not what the writing screen looks like. It is who defines a new content type when one is needed, and if the answer is your own team, your publishing pace stops depending on a developer’s calendar.

At Vipkurum that right belongs to the institutions. Each one builds its own lesson, test, question and exam, and because the assessment type is not buried in code, a European standard and a Turkish one sit side by side on the same foundation. A teacher, a student, a parent and an administrator all read the same lesson programme at their own level of permission.

Çatalca Merkez Kasap had a different knot. While the information lived on paper, every price change meant another print run. Once the menu lives as text, a price change updates only the page and the printed code stays exactly where it is. The menu is split into sections, each with its own address, so codes on different tables or windows land on different points of one page. Nobody asked for a big system here: there is no ordering, payment or stock layer behind it. The wider pattern is in replacing printed catalogues with software.

QRVizit, still under development, applies the same split to a business card. The address a printed code points to stays fixed while the page behind it changes from a panel, and a change saved there reaches the visitor’s page with no transfer step in between.

All three carry one decision: the organisation defines the content type, and a change goes neither into a release queue nor to the printer.

What's included

Content management scope gathers around these areas:

  • Content modelling

    Which content types exist, and which fields each one carries, follows your own publishing work. At Vipkurum the assessment type is not hard-coded, so European and Turkish standards sit side by side on the same foundation.

  • The editorial interface

    The person writing and the visitor reading see the same information, with no second copy waiting to be synchronised. Keeping the admin panel and the published side in one application means the content is not held in two places.

  • Addresses and links

    Every page and every section carries a permanent address of its own, so a shared link always opens the same place. At Çatalca Merkez Kasap the menu is split into sections, and codes on different tables land on different points of the same page.

  • Access and permissions

    Who sees what, and who may change it, is defined together with the content type. At Vipkurum a teacher, a student, a parent and an administrator read the same lesson programme at their own level of permission.

  • An update is not a reprint

    When a price, a phone number or an address changes, the printed material stays as it is and the page is updated instead. Çatalca Merkez Kasap keeps its menu as text, so a price change never reaches the printer.

  • Repeat reads

    When the same page is opened again and again, it is served from a ready copy rather than rebuilt each time. QRVizit, still under development, opens a repeatedly scanned card that way.

How we work

Every project goes through the same four stages: planning, architecture, modelling, development.

No office, we work remotely

We have no office, so we do not provide on-site support either. The work runs remotely and we scope it on that basis.

Frequently asked

  • Which CMS do you use?

    We write our own, and it lives inside the application itself. When you need a new content type you are not waiting for a plugin to permit it; the type is defined in the model and the right to define it stays with your team. Vipkurum lets an institution define its own assessment standard. The first conversation is where we work out which types you should own.

  • Can non-technical editors manage the content after delivery?

    They can, and everything the model defines they change without asking us. The limit is not somebody's technical skill but how much room the content model leaves them. Vipkurum's institutions build their own exams and set their own standards, so a new one never waits on a code change. When you need a type the model does not know yet, you talk to us and we add it together.

  • We have printed material. Does a change mean reprinting it?

    It does not; the address a printed code points to stays fixed while the page behind it changes from the panel. A price, a phone number or an address can be updated without a print run on your side. Çatalca Merkez Kasap keeps its menu as text, so a price change updates only the page. In planning we work out which parts of your printed material actually change.

  • Can you migrate our existing content?

    We can, and the first job is deciding how your content splits in the new model. Which type your own team will define, and which information stays inside whose permission; content moved before those answers carries its old problem into the new system. Çatalca Merkez Kasap moved a printed menu onto a page section by section, and each section got its own address. If you already run a working system, our evidence for taking one over sits on the software consulting page.
