CMS for the Gatsby sites you still maintain.
No new source plugin, no GraphQL layer to wire, no admin panel. Your client edits the Gatsby site by chat, and every publish is a plain commit your host rebuilds from.
No credit card, cancel anytime.
Built for Gatsby
Your client edits the page, not a form. Risky changes wait for you.
CMS Brew maps the text and images your site sources locally, the Markdown, MDX, JSON, and component copy, and the client edits them on the page or in chat. Per-field guards decide what publishes on its own and what waits for you.
- No source plugin, schema extension, or GraphQL query to touch
- Markdown, MDX, JSON, frontmatter, and dynamic pages like blog/[slug]
- New pages, layout, and code go to you, in the client's words
Side by side
CMS Brew vs Traditional headless CMS
| CMS Brew | Traditional headless CMS | |
|---|---|---|
| Integration work | Connect the GitHub or GitLab repository. That is the setup. | Add a source plugin, model a schema, and query content through GraphQL. |
| Where content lives | In your repository, in the files Gatsby sources at build time. | In the vendor's database, behind their API and a source plugin. |
| What the client learns | Nothing. They type what they want changed. | The studio UI and your content model. |
| Publishing | One commit; Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare rebuilds as usual. | A webhook from the CMS triggers your builds. |
| Review before publish | Per-field guards and a review queue, included. | Roles and approval workflows, usually on higher tiers. |
| Cost model | $39/mo for 5 sites, unlimited editors. | Per-seat pricing that grows with every editor you invite. |
The honest trade-off
If a site needs thousands of structured entries, localization pipelines, or content shared across several apps, the source-plugin model earns its keep and a traditional headless CMS behind it is the right call. For the brochure site or the legacy build you are keeping online, adding that machinery just so a client can edit a headline is cost without payoff.
How it works
Three steps, then it's live.
- 01Connect
Point it at the site you built
CMS Brew turns every page, blog post and language into a simple list of things your client can edit. No rebuild, no plugin.
- 02Edit
Clients edit in plain words
Your client says what to change in chat, or clicks the words on the page and retypes them. They see it live before it ships.
- 03Publish
Safe changes go live
Safe edits publish in one click. Bigger requests, like a new page or code, come straight to you.
