Improve your workflows

From building to managing websites. Streamline the discovery phase and building an MVP. Content writers can create with confidence with our publishable components.

Surpass clients' expectations

We designed the CWA so your website admins, editors and users to say "wow, that was so fast and intuitive". Now you can provide more than they bargained for within their budget.

Designed for businesses of all sizes

Whether you are a business user, freelance developer, agency or have an in-house team of developers, the CWA has been designed to provide you with cutting-edge technologies while helping your business run smoothly and efficiently.

Small businesses

The website builder interface allows admins with no code knowledge to create, edit and extend any CWA website once it’s been created by your developers.

Organisations

Business operations are critical, and when your website is powered by an API, the automation and API extensibility can be a huge productivity boost.

Agencies

With a focus on the professional web development workflow, the CWA helps you to streamline your workflow; from discovery to delivery and beyond.

Built with
teamwork in mind

The CWA has been built with first-hand knowledge of the agile web development workflow, from concept and discovery to delivery, monitoring and maintenance.

Streamline your team's scrum workflow from building company branding and UI kits, to how the website and product managers interact with the developers and clients. The CWA gives a clear structure of building individual UI components and provides flexibility to for the right people in the right teams who can work in their areas of expertise.

1

Built for structured planning

During the discovery phase, a manager will work with a client to build an understanding of requirements. Usually a plan is drawn up in the form of wireframes (also know as website blueprints) as user flows. Each section within the blueprint can be considered a component that will need to be created. Each with it's own specific purpose and requirements.

2

Built for clarity in design

Once you have a blueprint, the choice of style frameworks and UI kits is flexible and a business decision for you to make with your UI designer. Each component can be designed with the branding and UI kit to the specification provided which can then be passed to the developer.

3

Built for happy developers

Being able to communicate requirements clearly to developers and providing them with concise jobs leads to great unity between teams. The developer just needs to focus on creating individual components to specifications. Then content and website structure can be populated by other team members to improve efficiency.

DX first

Happy developers are productive developers. It is easy for developers to build in advanced functionality and to get up and running.

CSS framework agnostic

While we ship with Tailwind configured by default, you can use whichever framework best is best for your needs.

Feeling familiar

We have built the CWA on top of very well documented and supported frameworks. You'll find developers are quick to learn how the CWA sits on top and the talent is available in the job seekers market.

Extensible

Extend functionality as you would with any other application built on these frameworks. Documentation on functionality is abundant.

Devops configured

No need to spend endless hours working out how to best deploy. We have provided a working CI pipeline for GitLab and it is simple to adjust to be specific for your vendors.

Building for the admin

We created an advanced in-line content management toolbar for resources, instead of a separate CMS. Our system is intuitive for both users and developers.

Built for easy assembly

Managers or clients will find it easy and intuitive to begin working with the website once the developers have the components ready. Simply add the pages required using the website builder, knowing exactly where they need to go to create and update their custom website.

Built for writing content

Writing content is not an easy or simple task. It requires development, review from other team members and collaboration. The CWA has features which helps to streamline this workflow.

Drafting changes

Writing draft content has required external tools until now. Say hello to on-site content writing with draft components.

Real-time collaboration

You can easily work on content together at the same time because changes are pushed in real-time to other users.

Live editing

If you are in the middle of drafting changes, but you notice the live version needs an update, no problem - switch to edit the live version and continue with your draft when you are done.

Template pages

For repetitive content structures, such as articles, news or blogs, the CWA has you covered. Create your dynamic page for structure and add content for each entry.

Unified brand visibility

Because your content is driven by an API, if some content should be loaded from preferred sources for specific components, no problem. You can keep data written for different mediums in sync.

Automate AI content

API driven websites can also integrate modern content writing tools to implement modern content writing strategies. Automatically create new blog entries for human content writers to review on a schedule.

Built for the future

Websites evolve and grow, and we aim to make the process of keeping up to date with changes easy. As your business grows requirements will change, so you can easily create new components which can fit the needs of ever evolving business.
