Payload CMS Development Agency

Content has to work alongside real application logic, not just sit next to it. That's where Payload CMS fits best: enterprise portals, composable e-commerce platforms, and SaaS product backends. As a Payload CMS Featured Partner and development agency, we build and migrate custom Payload CMS platforms for exactly these projects.

Why Payload

AI Built In, You in Control

Payload’s MCP plugin lets Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools update content only where you allow it. Payload skills help AI coding agents ship correct code faster, and the built-in AI toolset handles translations, images, and writing.

Single Codebase, Not Two

Payload installs directly into your existing Next.js app, not as a separate backend service. Built-in authentication, access control, a Local API, and Jobs that run heavy work in the background all live in a single codebase instead of two.

Your Data, Your Roadmap

Payload is open-source, so you own your content and your roadmap, not a vendor's. Single sign-on, field-level access control, audit logs, and approval workflows come built in, so IT and compliance sign off without a lock-in fight later.

Why Notum

Notum developers scoping a Payload project

Right Calls First, Not Fixes Later

We don't just execute; we help you scope the project, sequence the work, and make the right architecture calls before a line of code gets written. From there, one team handles the migration, SEO, QA, and performance testing, so nothing falls into the gap between vendors.

ISO/IEC 27001 certified badge

Security Backed by ISO 27001

Your Payload project handles real data and real users, often under real compliance requirements. We're ISO 27001 certified, so security and data governance are built into how we work, not bolted on at the end.

One Team, One Point of Contact

We're not a solo freelancer, and we're not a large consultancy that hands your project down to subcontractors once the contract is signed. Everyone works from a single location, so there's always one person you call when something needs an answer, not a rotating cast.

Siobahn Schuck, Technical Product Manager at OptiTrack

Notum helped us integrate commercetools alongside our existing ERP and CRM services without breaking a single critical flow, and shipped it in phases so we never had to worry about a risky ‘launch day.’ That’s exactly the kind of technical partner you want on a migration this complex.

Payload CMS Agency FAQ

What is a Payload CMS development agency?

A Payload CMS development agency builds, migrates, and maintains websites and applications on Payload CMS, an open-source, code-first headless CMS. Notum is a Payload CMS Featured Partner, working with Payload since 2024.

Is Notum an official Payload partner?

Yes. Notum is a Payload CMS Featured Partner. We're also a Strapi Enterprise Partner, so when we recommend one platform over the other, it's based on your project, not on which tool we happen to sell.

Can Notum migrate our existing site to Payload?

Yes. We've rebuilt a full commerce platform for OptiTrack, integrating ERP, CRM, and payments with zero launch-day risk, and migrated H2 Grand Prix's global monolithic PHP site to Payload while improving website health (26 → 92 health score).

Can I hire dedicated Payload developers through Notum?

Yes. You can hire dedicated Payload developers who plug into your team, follow your workflow, and start shipping from day one. Along the way, they share their experience and best practices with your existing team, so the knowledge stays with you after the engagement ends.

How much does custom Payload development cost?

Cost depends on scope, whether you need a fixed-price project or an embedded team, and how much of your existing content and structure carries over. We can give you an accurate estimate after a short discovery call.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Every project includes support right after launch, plus ongoing options like Payload upgrades and team training, so your team can handle the day-to-day without waiting on us for every small change.
