It’s no secret developers and content editors have been locked in a years-long website war over which content management system to use. There’s a gajillion options — WordPress, Webflow, headless stacks, etc. — but they all force an impossible trade-off. Either developers lose control, or editors lose autonomy. And in both cases, nobody’s really happy.
Pala’s different. It’s a component-based CMS where developers keep full control of the site’s code and structure while editors get the simplicity of visual editing and power of page building. Build and integrate reusable components in-browser, let editors compose and edit pages visually, all in real-time. Plus, every site deploys as blazing-fast static files hosted a simple monolithic server.
Developer control. Editor joy. Zero maintenance.
Welcome to Pala.
“This would be so much faster if I could just get to the code.” “I have to push it to what? What’s a git??”A static-site is a website that’s pre-generated as HTML files and served directly — faster, more secure, and ideal for SEO.
Pala is a modern monolithic Content Management System (CMS) that uniquely combines code and content at the component level. It's designed to create a better workflow for both developers and content editors by keeping code and content encapsulated in self-contained components, rather than splitting components between code repositories and content databases.
Pala is for:
Agencies and Freelancers building 5-200 page marketing sites for multiple clients
Startups needing a marketing site that non-technical team members can update
Solo developers who want something better than WordPress but simpler than Next.js + Sanity
Anyone tired of the headless CMS complexity
Pala is not for anyone looking for:
An enterprise CMS (Contentful, Sanity)
An e-commerce platform (Shopify)
A publishing platform (Ghost, ConvertKit)
A web app framework (SvelteKit, Next.js)
A site builder for non-developers (Webflow, Squarespace)
