Service · Headless CMS

The wrong CMS today is your migration two years from now.

Most website projects pick a CMS before anyone understands what your editors and your developers actually need. I pick and build the system that fits your team and your content. Not whatever's trending.

Is a Headless CMS right for you?

— Yes, if you...

  • Have an editorial team that loses time every day through cumbersome content processes
  • Want to evolve your website without needing a developer for every text change
  • Are planning a new website or CMS migration and want a tailored setup

— No, if you...

  • Only have a handful of content updates per month
  • Don't want to touch your existing setup at all
  • Are looking for a pure CMS licence provider with no development support

How I help

I'm Nils – Senior Fullstack Developer specialising in Headless CMS and content infrastructure.

I'm not a CMS vendor selling you a licence. I'm a developer – and I stay until your team can truly work independently. I can offer you the complete package from a single source: your website in a unique design with a CMS system that genuinely fits you and your requirements.

With a tailored CMS system you can:

  • Reduce costs: Content-related developer tickets decrease by up to 90% – because editors can manage content themselves.
  • Increase speed: Every change to the website becomes faster, easier, and less error-prone.

Process

03 phases

  1. 01— Discovery

    Discovery & CMS Audit

    Together we look at how your team currently works with content – which steps take too long, where tickets arise, where the design hits its limits. The result is not a generic proposal, but a CMS architecture tailored to your content, your design, and your editorial team.

    Book a free initial call
  2. 02— Build

    Development & Editor Testing

    I build the CMS iteratively and test it not just technically, but with your team. Because a CMS is only good when the people who work with it daily can use it without a manual. You receive regular updates and can give feedback early – before anything gets built the wrong way.

  3. 03— Launch

    Launch & Handover

    The launch is not the end. I stay until your team is truly working independently – and I document everything so you don't remain permanently dependent on me. When new requirements arise later, I'm there.

There aren’t many true full-stack developers. Fewer still can take on deeply complex problems and genuinely solve them. Nils is both, and more. He brings technical depth, clarity of thought, and a calm, reliable presence to every project. A highly respected and recommended addition to any team. And when he’s not coding, he’s out training for triathlons; a true embodiment of work hard, code hard, play hard. On all fronts, Nils is a machine.

At objego, I worked with Nils in different teams and phases of the company - from greenfield features to legacy migrations. What always impressed me was how quickly he could slot into new setups and immediately start contributing real value. He brings a strong mix of technical depth, calm communication, and the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. You always felt in good hands when Nils was involved.

Jurij Peters

Nils war einer der ersten, die unser Produkt technisch mit aufgebaut hat. Mit seiner strukturierten Arbeitsweise, Flexibilität und klaren Kommunikation hat er maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, dass wir schnell vom Konzept zur funktionierenden Lösung kamen. Besonders wertvoll war seine Fähigkeit, Unklarheiten in Anforderung proaktiv und kreativ zu lösen und ein gutes Auge für UI.
