Payload CMS Development · Wells
Payload CMS Development in Wells
Building with Payload for Wells organisations, where the content model is TypeScript rather than a configuration screen. Collections, fields and access rules are code — which means the schema is version controlled, reviewed like any other change, and typed all the way through to the application consuming it.
Why this comes up
The problem
The content model lives in a web interface, changes are made directly on production and nothing is reviewed or typed.
What you get
What we deliver
- Collections defined as code, so schema changes go through review
- Access control written as functions where rules depend on the user or the document
- Types generated from the schema and used across the consuming application
- Hooks used for logic that must run on create, update or delete
- Admin interface customised where editors need something beyond the default
- Database and file storage chosen deliberately, since both are yours to run

Payload CMS Development in Wells — common questions
- What does a code-defined schema give us?
- Review and history. A field added in a pull request is discussed before it exists, deploys with the code that uses it and can be reverted — none of which applies to a change clicked into a production interface with no record of who made it or why.
- How does access control differ here?
- It is a function rather than a checkbox. Rules can depend on the user, the document and their relationship — a contributor editing only their own drafts, for instance — which is expressible directly rather than approximated with roles.
- Are the generated types worth using?
- Considerably. Because the schema is TypeScript, the types flow into the front end, so a renamed field breaks the build rather than producing an empty section at runtime — which is the single largest practical benefit of the approach.
- What are we responsible for running?
- The database, file storage and the application itself. It is self-hosted, so those are yours — which is the trade for the control, and worth confirming somebody owns before choosing it over a managed service.
- Do you work with businesses across Somerset?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Wells and the surrounding Somerset area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Wells businesses do you usually work with?
- Straightforward booking, ordering and payment systems for independents, scoped to what a very small operator can sustain. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Agriculture, Retail, Hospitality and Food & Drink.
- Do you cover the areas around Wells?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bath, Bristol, Salisbury. Wells is an urban area of roughly 12,000+, and we take on work across the wider Somerset region rather than the city boundary alone.
