Guide
Traditional CMS or headless?
A traditional CMS like WordPress or TYPO3 delivers content and presentation from a single system: quick to build, widely used, with plenty of ready-made extensions. A headless CMS like Contentful or Storyblok separates content from presentation. Your editorial team manages content in one place, and it gets delivered via an API to your website, app, or other channels at the same time. Headless pays off once content needs to reach multiple platforms or you're using a modern frontend framework. For a single website without those requirements, a traditional CMS is usually the more pragmatic and cheaper choice.
What sets the systems apart
WordPress is the most widely used, has the largest extension ecosystem, and works well for websites up to moderate complexity. TYPO3 is common across the public sector and larger companies in German-speaking countries, with granular permission management for large editorial teams. Drupal stands out for very complex data structures and custom requirements. For headless systems, what matters most isn't the brand but the frontend stack behind it, which determines what's actually possible.
What to watch for when choosing a CMS
Ask about the update and security strategy. WordPress sites in particular get attacked frequently when the core system and extensions aren't updated regularly. A maintenance contract with defined update cycles belongs in every serious proposal.
Also clarify how the editorial side works day to day. Whoever will use the system daily should see it live before you sign, not just hear it described. And for multilingual or multi-brand websites, it's worth checking multi-tenancy support early, because retrofitting it later is often a lot of work.
What a CMS project costs
A WordPress website with custom design runs €6,000 to €20,000. A TYPO3 or Drupal project with a complex structure and multiple editors costs €20,000 to €70,000. A headless setup with its own frontend starts at €30,000 and can go well beyond that depending on scope. Agencies charge €80 to €150 per hour.

Frequently asked questions
CMS agencies: questions and answers
What does a website with a CMS cost?
A WordPress website with custom design costs €6,000 to €20,000, a TYPO3 or Drupal project €20,000 to €70,000, and a headless setup with its own frontend starts at €30,000. Agencies charge €80 to €150 per hour.
Which CMS is right for my company?
For a single website of modest scope, WordPress is usually enough. For a large editorial team with complex permission needs, TYPO3 is the better fit. If content needs to reach multiple platforms, a headless CMS pays off. The decision should follow your actual requirements, not the agency's preference.
What's the advantage of a headless CMS?
Content gets managed once and delivered through an interface to as many channels as you need: website, app, partner sites. That pays off as soon as you're serving more than one channel. For a single website, headless usually creates more work than it saves.
How secure is WordPress?
As secure as its maintenance. The core system, theme, and all extensions need regular updates, or known vulnerabilities become an open door. A maintenance contract with defined update cycles is practically mandatory for WordPress, not optional.
