Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!
Read More →OpenMalo builds and configures content management systems that give your team genuine editorial independence — from custom WordPress themes with Gutenberg blocks to modern headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Sanity, Strapi) and fully bespoke CMS backends. Our Melbourne and Sydney CMS developers have helped 200+ Australian businesses take control of their digital content without relying on developers for every page update.
The right CMS depends on your editorial workflow, frontend performance requirements, and team's technical comfort. We recommend WordPress for most business sites; headless CMS (Contentful, Sanity, or Strapi) when performance is critical and multiple channels (web, mobile app) consume the same content; and custom CMS backends for complex business applications with highly structured data models.
Editorial simplicity is a design priority on every CMS project. We build visual Gutenberg blocks or structured content schemas that guide editors through every content type — preventing off-brand formatting while allowing genuine flexibility. Most editors are fully self-sufficient within 30 minutes of their first training session.
Yes — WordPress Multisite manages multiple websites from a single installation with shared users and plugins. Headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Sanity) support multiple content environments and delivery channels from a single content repository. Custom CMS backends can manage as many sites and brands as required.
Yes — WordPress with WPML or Polylang supports full multilingual content management with separate URL structures and hreflang tags. Contentful and Sanity have native internationalisation support. We have built CMS systems managing content in Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Greek for Australian government and community organisations.
Traditional CMS (WordPress) assembles pages server-side on each request. Headless CMS serves structured content via API to a Next.js or Nuxt.js frontend that statically generates pages at build time — delivering pages from a CDN edge node in under 100ms globally. This is why many high-traffic Australian media and government sites are moving to headless architectures.
CMS security includes role-based content access (editors can only modify their sections), two-factor authentication for all admin users, WAF protection (Cloudflare for WordPress, CDN controls for headless), automated plugin/dependency vulnerability monitoring, daily encrypted backups, and audit logs tracking every content change with user attribution.
Yes — headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Sanity, Strapi) expose all content via REST API or GraphQL. Your iOS and Android apps consume the same content repository as the website — meaning content editors update once and publish everywhere simultaneously, with no duplication of effort.
Yes — we integrate CMS platforms with Digital Asset Management systems (Bynder, Cloudinary, Canto), Product Information Management tools (Akeneo, Pimcore), and marketing platforms (HubSpot, Marketo). Content published in the CMS can trigger marketing automation workflows or sync product data to eCommerce channels automatically.
OpenMalo Technologies has delivered more than 200 CMS implementations for Australian businesses, government agencies, media organisations, and universities over 13 years. Our Melbourne and Sydney CMS team works across the full spectrum — from WordPress custom themes with Gutenberg block libraries through to enterprise headless CMS implementations on Contentful and Sanity serving content to web, mobile, and digital signage simultaneously.
Every CMS project is designed around your editorial team's workflow — we conduct content audits, editor interviews, and user testing with actual content managers to ensure the CMS we build makes their day-to-day work easier, not harder. CMS implementations include training, written documentation, and 30 days of editorial support post-launch as standard.

We audit your existing content, interview your editorial team, and map your content types and publishing workflows — producing a CMS strategy document that recommends the right platform and content model before any development begins.
Content schemas (for headless CMS) or custom field groups (for WordPress) are designed before development. Getting content modelling right prevents costly schema migrations later as your content strategy evolves.
CMS configuration, custom block or schema development, third-party integrations, and user role configuration are delivered in two-week sprints. Editor testing sessions mid-project confirm the CMS meets real editorial workflow requirements.
Hands-on editorial training sessions cover every content type, workflow, and publishing step. Written documentation and video guides are delivered at handover for ongoing reference and new editor onboarding.
