A company website goes stale the moment updating it requires a developer. New products, new projects, and new articles wait in a queue, and the site slowly stops describing the business. On several projects we have designed the editing experience as carefully as the public site.
Aknan Al Khaleejia: a catalog that keeps changing
Aknan Al Khaleejia installs, maintains, and modernizes elevators across Jeddah, Mecca, and Taif. Buyers compare cabins, doors, and machine types before asking for a price, so the site has to show that range clearly and keep it current.
We built a bilingual Next.js website managed through Payload CMS. Services, elevator types, cabin and door design galleries, projects, and blog posts are all editable by the team, and every page leads to a quote request by form or WhatsApp.
Hafez Academy: many services, one admin
Hafez Academy offers training courses and a wide range of academic services from Sixth of October City. Its bilingual PHP site groups the offer into courses, services, and trainers, includes online certificate verification, and is managed through a custom admin dashboard for content such as partner logos.
How to decide what should be editable
- Anything that changes monthly or more often: products, projects, articles, team, partners
- Anything sales depends on: catalogs, pricing notes, downloadable brochures
- Keep layout and brand styles locked so edits can't break the design
- Edit both languages side by side so one version never falls behind
A headless CMS like Payload fits content-heavy marketing sites. A focused custom dashboard fits when the editable parts are few and specific. Either way, the goal is the same: the people who know the business keep the website accurate.
