Some of our Great
Clients and Partners:

Digital Content Strategy
Great code needs great content.

A powerful CMS is useless if the content isn’t structured effectively. Our strategy team works alongside our engineers to ensure your content hierarchy supports your business goals.

  • Information Architecture (IA): We map out intuitive site structures that make navigation effortless for users and bots.

  • SEO & Metadata Strategy: We build schema markup and SEO controls directly into the CMS, making it easy for editors to optimize every page.

  • Content Audits: We analyze your existing assets to identify gaps, redundancies, and opportunities for consolidation.

CMS Engineering Services
Stop fighting your website. Start managing it.

We don’t just “install themes.” We engineer content ecosystems. We treat your CMS as a critical piece of business software, focusing on security, speed, and ease of use.

  1. Enterprise WordPress & Open Source

We push open-source platforms to their limits. We build custom plugins, optimized themes, and secure environments that handle high traffic without the “bloat” of off-the-shelf templates.

  • Platforms: WordPress Drupal Umbraco Joomla

  • Services: Custom Theme Development, Plugin Engineering, Security Hardening.

  1. Headless CMS Architecture

Future-proof your content. We decouple your backend data from your frontend display using Headless architecture. This allows you to manage content in one place and push it everywhere—to your website, mobile app, and smart devices simultaneously.

  • Platforms: Webflow Umbraco WordPressContentful Strapi Sanity Sitecore

  • Tech Stack: React, Vue.js, or Angular frontends consuming robust APIs.

  1. Custom CMS Development

Sometimes, off-the-shelf software is just too rigid. For complex business models—like Ticketing Inventories or Intricate Catalogs—we build proprietary content management tools tailored exactly to your workflow.

  • Benefit: Zero feature bloat. 100% fit for purpose.

  1. Data Migration & Re-Platforming

Moving from a legacy system to a modern CMS? We handle the heavy lifting. We script automated migrations to transfer thousands of articles, images, and metadata records without losing your SEO ranking.

The LockData Approach
Agile. Collaborative. User-Focused.

1. Discovery & Modeling:

We don't start with design; we start with data. We model your content types (e.g., "Events," "Cast Members," "Venues") to ensure the CMS fits your reality.

2. Development & Integration:

We build the platform, integrating it with your CRM, Ticketing System, or Marketing Automation tools.

3. Editor Experience (EX):

We customize the admin dashboard. We strip away confusing default options and build clear, labeled fields so your interns and CMOs alike can publish with confidence.

4. Training & Handoff:
We don't just hand over keys. We provide training sessions and documentation to ensure your team owns the platform.
5. Ongoing Maintenance & Optimization

During the support phase we will monitor and maintain the solution ensuring all things are running smoothly, optimized and performing perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which CMS is right for my business? It depends on your scale. For content-heavy marketing sites, WordPress is often best. For complex data relationships or enterprise security, Drupal or a Headless solution might be superior. We help you choose based on data, not trends.

  • Can you fix a hacked or slow WordPress site? Yes. We specialize in Security Audits and Performance Optimization. We can clean up compromised code, remove bloated plugins, and implement caching strategies to get you back to green.

  • What is a “Headless” CMS? A “Headless” CMS stores your content (text/images) separately from your website design. This allows you to use that same content on a Mobile App, a Smart Watch, or a Website without copy-pasting. It is the gold standard for Omnichannel Marketing.

  • Do you write the content for us? While our primary focus is technical implementation, we partner with copywriters and offer Content Strategy services to ensure your messaging is as robust as the code behind it.
