Skal CMS
Our own content management system. A visual canvas that edits the real page, so a custom-built site stays editable by the person who owns it.
Every small business we build for hits the same wall. A custom site looks right and loads fast, but changing a phone number means emailing a developer. A template builder solves that and charges rent forever, in exchange for a site that looks like everyone else's.
Skal is the third option, and we built it because we got tired of explaining the trade-off. It is a visual canvas bolted onto a real Next.js build: the owner opens a page, drags blocks around, edits text in place, and publishes. The public site is still a custom build we wrote, and the content lives in a database they own.
It ships with the unglamorous things a business actually needs - contact form submissions stored and emailed on arrival, roles so an office manager can edit copy without holding every key, and site-wide details like phone and license number that update everywhere at once.
