Prose is a Git-based CMS designed to simplify content editing for static sites. It provides a minimal interface that works directly with repositories, making it suitable for headless CMS development in static workflows.
Prose CMS implementation and workflows
Git-first content management
We configure Prose to support clear editorial workflows while keeping content stored directly in Git. This approach keeps version history transparent and content easy to review.
SEO structure and migration
Content is organized for logical navigation and clean URLs. During migration from traditional CMS platforms, content is adapted to Git-based workflows with minimal friction and long-term maintainability in mind.
Prose fits documentation sites, technical blogs, and small static projects managed by developer-focused teams. Let’s keep content simple and transparent with Prose.
