DatoCMS development
DatoCMS changes, scoped and shipped.
Your site runs on DatoCMS and something needs to change: a new block for editors, a model that has outgrown itself, or a preview that no longer shows drafts.
The problem
DatoCMS gives editors flexible modular content, but every new block needs matching front-end code and every schema change needs care. Without a developer on hand, small requests wait.
We make schema changes with migrations in a sandbox environment, build the front-end pieces to match and promote both together once you have checked them.
Sound familiar?
- Editors need a new modular block or model.
- Draft preview or real-time updates have stopped working.
- Images or video are loading slowly despite the built-in asset handling.
- The front end needs updating after a DatoCMS schema change.
What you get
- Schema changes as migrations, tested in a sandbox environment
- Matching front-end components and GraphQL queries
- Preview, webhook or build trigger setup or repair
- A short handover note for editors and developers
What this isn’t
- Full site rebuilds or CMS migrations (quoted separately or referred)
- Enterprise multi-site content programmes
- Ongoing content entry
Timeframe
Most jobs take 2–7 business days.

No account. No sales script. Never asks for passwords or keys.
Questions
Can you change the schema without breaking live content?
Yes. We use sandbox environments and migrations so changes are tested before they touch your primary environment.
Our site was built by an agency. Can you still help?
Yes. We read the existing setup first and work within it rather than rearranging it.
How do we give you access?
Invite us as a collaborator in DatoCMS and your repository, with the role the job needs. Remove us when we finish.
