Official Strapi.io website long-term maintenance

Project context

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS on GitHub, with $45M raised and a global developer community.

Executive snapshot

Strapi needed a Next.js and Strapi specialist team to take over and manage their site.
A team that would feel in-house, one that communicates quickly and would be self-sufficient. 

‍

We took on this mission and started working closely with their marketing team. We became highly available, shipped under pressure, and delivered consistently.

The need

Strapi’s marketing team was looking for a specialist team in Next.js and Strapi to take over their public site. A team that would act as part of their crew.

They needed:

• Engineers who understood their stack deeply
  
• Async communication that worked across time zones
  
• Fast iterations on a non-greenfield codebase
  
• Autonomy, reliability, and technical ownership

What we delivered

Continuous page-builder development

We extended their block-based editor approach so the marketing team could build any new page independently.

Seamless global teamwork

Frequent collaboration with their US team. Calls at 6 PM EU time? No problem.

Ongoing improvements

We managed the repo, released new sections, updated pricing, launched new features, and more.

Outcomes

• Long-term agile cooperation with flexible capacity
  
• Ultra-fast response times and minimal overhead
  
• A site that keeps improving without slowing down marketing velocity
• Migration from old version of Strapi to a new one, improving content creation speed by 100%

From the Strapi Team

“They were always available. Even during our flagship event, they debugged blog posts and helped with last-minute pricing changes, without skipping a beat.”

— Victor Coisne, VP Marketing, Strapi

‍

“Notum feels like an extension of our team. They shipped fast, fixed things before we asked, and made the site better every month.”

— Pierre Burgy, CEO, Strapi
