Modular, flexible, fast. Get the lean advantage.
Simplifying the editing experience
WordPress has a powerful base, but over the years has shifted focus from what made it so appealing as a platform. We've ditched the complexity and bloat, re-focusing on providing a fast, clean and efficient publishing process.
Fast direct editing
Open the page, choose Edit Content, select a block and change its content. Save, and the page updates in place. If you can write a sentence you can update a page.
Structured content
Every page is a composition of structured blocks with consistently named fields. Your brand is set initially and every section already matches, easily updated by any editor.
Removing bloat
One of the main features of Lean CMS is what we've removed. No complex layouts managing columns, nested elements and 1000 spots for styling overrides. The results are stark.
Pro adds power tools and dedicated workflows — preview and promote, snapshots and restore, scheduling tools, advanced sync workflow and agent authoring loop. Power users benefit from automation and workflow enhancements designed for publishing speed and consistency.
Making WordPress fast again
We've put the system on a strict diet and the results are amazing
The lean approach is a philosophical change from the bloated page-builder era and a return to WordPress's roots that propelled it to powering a huge portion of the web. A change of focus toward page-builder features have seen the battle-tested platform become overly complex and inefficient. We're fixing that by returning to fundamentals, allowing a smooth transition to a more productive future.
A solution for brands and publishers
We've tailored Lean CMS to cater to the needs of small and large publishing teams. Whether you need to spin up a quick campaign site or deploy changes across a fleet.
For your organisation
Schools, small businesses and organisations where nobody's whole job is the website. A site that stays on-brand as staff change, and that anyone can update in a minute.
For builders
Structured, schema-validated pages you can write by hand, draft with an agent, keep in version control and sync to any site.
Build it yourself or have our team assist
One product, flexible projects. Tell us about your site and we'll be happy to provide a quote.
Software only
A licence, every update for the year, email support and the full guide. For teams and builders who set it up themselves.
Training & support
We set your brand once, build the first pages with you, and train your editors. Then we stay reachable — a number you can call, not a retainer you resent.
Turnkey projects
The whole site — brand, pages and content — built for you and handed over ready to edit. You take it over; we are not in the loop for a typo.
