Add a lightweight Headless CMS to your static website so you can update content yourself through a simple browser-based interface - no developer required.
New build add-on: R2,000 | Retrofit existing site: R3,500
CMS (Content Management System) is never included in a static website build by default. It is an optional add-on for clients who want to update their own content without contacting CraftConnect SA for every change.
For static websites, CraftConnect SA offers a lightweight Headless CMS integration called Decap CMS. It is configured on top of your existing static HTML site and gives you a simple browser-based editing interface - no WordPress, no database, no subscription fees.
Option A: Headless CMS - New Build Add-On
Add CMS to a New Website Build
R2,000 alongside any new Static Web tier
Added at the same time as your Essential, Professional, or Premium website build. Cheaper because it is configured during the build process - no extra diagnostic work needed.
Full Decap CMS installation and configuration
Up to 5 editable content areas (e.g. hero text, about section, services list, contact details, image gallery)
Client admin login created and tested
One-page handover guide included
Option B: Headless CMS - Retrofit to Existing Site
Add CMS to an Existing CCSA-Built Site
R3,500 retrofitted to an existing CraftConnect SA-built static site
The R1,500 surcharge covers a diagnostic review of your existing codebase before configuration begins. This step is required because retrofitting is more complex than configuring CMS during the original build.
Codebase diagnostic review
Full Decap CMS installation and configuration
Up to 5 editable content areas
Client admin login created and tested
One-page handover guide
Non-CCSA sites require a paid review at R375/hour before any quote can be provided. If incompatible or significant rework is required, a new build may be recommended.
