Why we added Payload CMS

Back to all blogsSeptember 5, 2025

Alongside WordPress, we now also build with Payload

For more than 10 years WordPress has been our first choice for websites, and for many projects it stays that way. In 2025 a second system joined it.

Why a second system?

Demand for more flexible solutions is growing. We are already working with Payload, which makes us one of its earliest users in Switzerland. When the market asks for it later, we will already have the know-how and the project experience.

AI knows new frameworks better

AI has become an everyday tool for developers. The newest models understand modern frameworks such as Payload much better than older systems. With it we develop faster and solve problems sooner. For you that means shorter project times, more security and better SEO at fair costs.

Easy to maintain

Payload has a clean, modern admin panel without unnecessary frills. It is fast and can be adapted to each client's workflow.

WordPress or Payload?

Our strength is knowing which system makes sense, and being able to deliver with both.

WordPress

Runs half of the internet. We have delivered hundreds of projects for Swiss companies with it. The right fit when you need a familiar system, plugins or a low-cost solution.

Payload

Fits modern web technologies and teams that manage larger websites or structured content.

Both are open source

A global community keeps developing WordPress and keeps it secure. Payload is completely open source as well. We can look under the hood and adapt it, and clients do not suddenly end up in a closed system. For long-term projects that is a big advantage.

The choice of CMS is only one part of a web project.

Design, performance, security and maintenance over the years matter just as much. Whether WordPress or Payload, we build websites that meet what your business needs.
