We can help you

Choose a CMS with clarity and confidence

We don’t push platforms, we solve problems. At EM Code, we start with structured technical discovery to understand your business goals, user needs and digital ecosystem. Then we evaluate whether DatoCMS aligns with your content architecture and long-term ambitions. No guesswork, no hard sell, just rigorous, honest guidance.

Deliver performant front-ends, fast

DatoCMS’s API-first architecture gives you power and flexibility. We bring the rest: scalable engineering, front-end design systems, and user-centred thinking. Whether you're launching a microsite or a complex enterprise build, our dev teams ensure DatoCMS delivers across speed, accessibility, and beautiful UX.

Empower teams to scale with confidence

Your CMS should empower content creators, not bottleneck them. We design editorial workflows in DatoCMS that improve governance, streamline localisation, and reduce developer dependency. From custom user roles to enhanced publishing flows, we make sure your people can move fast, stay consistent, and scale content globally.

Connect content to your entire stack

Great CMS doesn’t live in isolation. From CRMs and ecommerce platforms to personalisation engines and experimentation tools, we stitch together your content and customer data using DatoCMS’s GraphQL API and plugin ecosystem. Our goal? A connected, composable system that works as one.

Our commitment to you

We stand apart by helping you meticulously evaluate a wide range of CMS platforms. Our technical due diligence (TDD) focuses on identifying and solving your unique challenges, rather than pushing a singular solution. At EM Code, we are dedicated to finding the right technology that aligns perfectly with your business goals.
