for projects with custom data models and high performance requirements.

As a Payload CMS agency, 360VIER supports companies, organizations, and institutions in realizing their digital presence with a modern, powerful, and future-proof headless CMS. As an open-source CMS, Payload CMS is particularly well suited to projects that require maximum flexibility, a custom data structure, and top performance.

With more than 12 years of experience in developing complex websites, we now bring our expertise to Payload projects as well. Our developers, strategists, and UX/UI designers combine Payload CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Next.js, React, and TypeScript to create websites that are perfectly tailored to demanding technical requirements. You benefit from proven processes, strong design expertise, and a well-coordinated team that understands your requirements and implements them reliably.

Why Payload CMS?
A flexible headless CMS for the highest demands.

Payload CMS has quickly established itself as one of the leading headless CMSs for developers. It offers a pure code-first architecture that enables maximum control over data structures, APIs, and the user interface. Unlike classic monoliths such as WordPress, Payload CMS strictly separates frontend and backend—ideal for modern JAMstack or Next.js projects. As a Payload CMS agency, we support you in leveraging these advantages strategically and integrating them precisely into your existing system landscape.

With Payload CMS, you can:

  • develop high-performance single-page applications (SPAs) or statically generated pages,
  • seamlessly integrate third-party systems via REST or GraphQL,
  • create user-friendly admin interfaces for editors,
  • implement custom role and permission concepts.

Frequently asked questions about Payload CMS

What is Payload CMS?

Payload CMS is a modern, TypeScript-based headless CMS that offers developers maximum flexibility in data modeling. It is configured entirely in code and can be seamlessly integrated into modern frontends such as Next.js or Gatsby.

Who is Payload CMS suitable for?

Payload CMS is particularly suitable for companies that need a high-performance, flexible, API-driven website—e.g., start-ups, SaaS providers, or companies with custom data models.

How does Payload CMS differ from WordPress?

While WordPress is traditionally operated as a monolith, Payload CMS strictly separates backend and frontend. This allows frontend and backend to be scaled independently, new frontends (e.g., apps, PWAs) to be connected, and maximum loading speeds to be achieved.
