Hire Strapi developers who stay after the CMS goes live.

Senior engineers who model your content properly, wire Strapi to your front end and keep it running afterwards. Our own site is built this way: Strapi as a build-time source, with a gate that stops bad content reaching production.

What they do

Hire Strapi developers who stay after the CMS goes live, end to end.

Content modelling in Content-Type Builder

Collection types, single types, components and relations modelled around how your editors actually think, not around your database. Draft and publish, and field limits written into the schema so mistakes are caught at entry.

Front end integration

Wiring Strapi to Astro, Next, Nuxt or a bespoke front end over REST or GraphQL. Pagination, population, image handling and preview, done once in an adapter so changing the content source later is configuration, not a rewrite.

Build-time rendering and the SEO gate

Content pulled during the build and rendered into static HTML, with meta and structured data present in the delivered page. A gate then checks the output and fails the build rather than let a broken page reach production.

Migration onto Strapi

Moving off WordPress, a page builder, a spreadsheet or hand-written HTML. We map the old fields to the new model, migrate the media, keep the URLs and put redirects in place so the search traffic follows you across.

Custom plugins and lifecycle hooks

Custom controllers, routes, services and lifecycle hooks for when the default admin is not enough. Roles and permissions set so each editor sees the fields they need and none of the ones they could break.

Hosting, upgrades and media

Strapi on a container platform with a managed Postgres database, uploads on object storage rather than an ephemeral disk, backups scheduled, and a plan for taking Strapi's own version upgrades without a scramble.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

A 30 minute call

We go through what the CMS has to do, who edits it, what front end it feeds and where it will run. No deck. You come away knowing whether Strapi is the right choice, including if the answer is that it is not.

02

A scope, a price, a person

You get the work written down with a timeline and a fixed price, and a named engineer with the relevant Strapi experience. You meet them and can say no before anything starts.

03

Embedded and shipping

They join your repository, your sprint cycle, your chat and your code review process, and work the way your team already works. One person is accountable for the outcome and reports on it.

04

Handover, then we run it

You get documentation written for editors and documentation written for engineers. From there you either take it in-house or move to our managed retainer, where we monitor it, patch it, fix it and report monthly.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We run Strapi headless ourselvesOur own site is built that way: Strapi as a build-time content source, static output, and a gate that blocks the deploy when content breaks the rules. It is not an approach we read about and repeated.
  • Content in the HTML, not fetched laterWe render content into the delivered page instead of fetching it in the browser. Search engines and answer engines get the copy and the schema in the first response, which is where the ranking is decided.
  • The build refuses bad contentEvery rule in our gate exists because that defect was found on a real site. Titles, descriptions, canonicals, heading order, alt text, structured data, dead links. Self-service editing without the usual cost.
  • Senior people, employed by usNo bench, no CV pile, no recruitment fee. The engineer is ours, matched to your stack, and accountable for your outcome rather than for filling in an hourly timesheet.
  • We stay after it goes liveMost shops hand over and leave. We would rather keep running it: monitoring, security updates, fixes against agreed response targets, improvements, and a monthly report of what actually changed.

What you get

Every engagement includes these, in writing, before work starts.

  • A documented content model, with the field limits written into the schema itself.
  • A read-only API token, so the build can never write anything back to your Strapi.
  • A publish webhook that triggers a build and blocks the deploy when a check fails.
  • Postgres and object storage set up, with backups scheduled and restores tested.
  • Editor documentation written for the people who publish, not for the engineers.
  • Your repository, your Strapi instance, your data. Nothing of it locked to us.

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

Every copy change goes through an engineer

Your marketing team raises a ticket to change a headline and it waits behind the roadmap. Strapi, modelled properly, moves that work to the people who own the words, without handing them anything they can break.

A Strapi build that has stalled

The model was set up by someone who has since left, the front end fetches everything on every request, and nobody is sure what breaks if they touch it. You need someone senior to read it, say plainly what is wrong, and fix it in place.

Moving off WordPress or a page builder

Plugins keep breaking, the editor and the site are the same fragile thing, and every performance fix is undone by the next update. You want the content separated from the front end, with the URLs and the search traffic preserved.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

How does hiring a Strapi developer through you work, and what does it cost?
You hire through us, and the engineer is employed by us. There is no recruitment fee and no bench. Dedicated roles are priced monthly per person; a defined piece of Strapi work can instead be scoped as a fixed price. Either way it starts with a 30 minute call, after which you get the scope, the timeline and the price in writing before anyone writes code. If you want to scale up or down later, we agree the notice period at the start so the cost stays predictable.
Should Strapi be fetched at build time or at runtime?
Build time, for a marketing or content site. That is how our own site is built: content is pulled during the build and rendered into static HTML, so crawlers and answer engines get the copy and the structured data in one response rather than an empty shell that fills itself in later. It has a second benefit. If Strapi is offline, the site is unaffected, because visitors are served the files generated the last time content changed. For an application that genuinely needs per-request data, we wire runtime fetching instead. We will tell you which one your case needs.
Can you work in our existing Strapi project rather than starting again?
Yes, and that is usually the right call. We start by reading the content model and the front-end code instead of proposing a rebuild. Most Strapi projects that feel broken have a modelling problem underneath: a collection type doing the job of a component, or a dynamic zone no editor can reason about. That is far cheaper to fix than to restart. We work in Strapi v4 and v5, in your repository, your sprint cycle and your review process. If a rebuild genuinely is the right answer, we will say so with the reasons and the cost attached.
Where should Strapi be hosted, and what does it cost to run?
Strapi is a Node application with a Postgres database and a writable uploads directory, so it cannot sit on a static host next to your front end. It runs on a container platform or on managed Strapi hosting, and your site only talks to it during a build. The trap is media: on most container platforms the filesystem is wiped on redeploy, so uploads have to go to S3-compatible object storage or a persistent volume, and that must be set up before editors start uploading images, not after. We size the hosting to your content volume and editor count and give you the monthly figure up front.
What happens after launch?
This is the part most engagements skip. You can keep the engineer, hand the project to your own team with the documentation, or move onto our managed retainer. On the retainer we monitor the site and the Strapi instance, apply Strapi and dependency security updates, fix what breaks against agreed response targets, make improvements, and send you a monthly report of what changed. Strapi ships releases regularly, and a CMS nobody upgrades turns into a liability, so somebody has to own it: either your team, after a proper handover, or us.
How do you stop an editor publishing something that breaks SEO?
By making it fail the build instead of reaching production. On our own site the limits live in the schema, and the same limits are mirrored in Strapi's Content-Type Builder, so an editor sees them while typing rather than discovering them in CI. After every build a gate checks the output: over-long or duplicate titles and descriptions, wrong canonicals, skipped heading levels, missing image dimensions, invalid structured data, dead links, a sitemap that disagrees with the pages built. If a check fails, the deploy is blocked and the live site is untouched.

Tell us what your editors are blocked on. We'll bring the Strapi engineer.

One 30 minute call to go through your content model, your front end and where Strapi will run. You leave with a written scope, a timeline and a price. You meet the engineer before anything starts.
