Directus Headless CMS Implementation

You probably know this is broken if…

• Per-seat CMS fees that grow with your team
• Vendor lock-in and APIs you cannot extend
• Content edits that require a developer
• Headless setups that break in production

What's inside

• Self-hosted and cloud Directus setup
• Next.js integration over REST and GraphQL
• Multi-tenant setups on shared Postgres
• Schema design, migrations, and roles
• Client portals and content workflows
• Editor onboarding and documentation

How it works

1. 1Model. We map your content into Directus collections and relationships. The structure follows how your team publishes.
2. 2Build. We build a Next.js frontend on top of Directus over REST or GraphQL. Pages are statically generated.
3. 3Self-host. We deploy on infrastructure you own using Docker and Postgres. Directus Cloud is an option if you prefer it.
4. 4Hand off. We set up roles, write documentation, and train your team. You run content without touching code.

Recent work

We run seven Directus instances in production on one stack. They power hospitality displays, portfolios, and client billing portals. All sit behind one reverse proxy on shared Postgres.
