CMS Platforms We Support
Choosing the right content management system (CMS) is the foundation of a high-performing website. The right platform depends on your goals, functionality needs, integrations, and growth plans. We work with industry-leading CMS platforms to deliver websites that perform today and scale for tomorrow.
Purpose Before Platform:
Strategic CMS Selection
Every CMS supports a different business model. We align your goals to the right platform, then design and deliver a purpose-fit solution that scales as your organisation evolves.
| CMS Platform | Best For | Strengths | Considerations | Example Use Case |
| WordPress | Corporate sites, blogs, marketing-driven microsites | Highly customisable, vast plugin ecosystem, strong SEO capabilities | Requires plugin and theme management for security & performance | A content-rich corporate website with multiple blog authors |
| WooCommerce | Flexible eCommerce stores on WordPress | Full design control, large extension library, integrates with ERP/CRM | More technical setup than hosted platforms | A niche online retailer with complex product configurations |
| Shopify | Rapid eCommerce deployment, multi-channel selling | Fast setup, secure hosting, huge app store, excellent mobile experience | Less flexible design control without custom dev | A fashion brand selling online and via Instagram/Facebook |
| Webflow | Design-led marketing sites, landing pages, campaigns | Pixel-perfect designs, animation support, no-code editing, fast hosting | Limited native eCommerce features for complex stores | A SaaS company’s marketing site with dynamic landing pages |
| Umbraco / Contentstack | Enterprise-grade, multi-site, multi-language | Highly secure, headless-ready, robust permissions, scalable | Requires experienced developers | A multinational managing multiple brand sites with strict compliance needs |
How to Choose the Right CMS
When selecting a CMS, we assess:
- Purpose – Informational, eCommerce, campaign landing pages, or enterprise content.
- Flexibility – Custom design, integration capabilities, and scalability.
- Ease of Use – How quickly your team can update content.
- Performance – Site speed, mobile optimisation, and SEO readiness.
- Security & Compliance – Data protection, permissions, and ongoing support needs.
We match your project to the CMS that best supports your business objectives — not just today’s requirements, but your long-term roadmap.

Frequently Asked Question
If you’ve got questions about web design and how we do it at Vine Design, check out our frequently asked questions below.
Which CMS is best for small businesses?
WordPress and Shopify are the most common choices. WordPress offers flexibility and lower ongoing costs; Shopify is great for eCommerce with minimal tech management.
Shopify vs WooCommerce — which should I choose?
Shopify is faster to set up and fully hosted; WooCommerce offers more control and flexibility but requires more hands-on management.
What is the difference between WordPress and Webflow?
WordPress is highly extensible with plugins; Webflow is design-led, fast, and great for marketing teams who want minimal reliance on developers.
What is a headless CMS and when should I use one?
A headless CMS like Contentstack separates content management from the front-end. It’s ideal for publishing across multiple platforms (web, app, digital displays) from one content hub
Can you migrate my existing site to a different CMS?
Yes — we handle migrations for all supported platforms, ensuring data integrity, SEO preservation, and minimal downtime.
Which CMS is best for SEO?
All major CMSs can be SEO-friendly when configured correctly, but WordPress and Webflow offer the fastest wins out of the box.
