Contentful Development
Enterprise-grade headless CMS — content modelling, migraties en frontend-integratie.
Contentful voor enterprise content
Contentful is het meest gebruikte headless CMS in de enterprise. De content modelling is flexibel, de API is betrouwbaar, en het ecosysteem van integraties is ongeëvenaard. Ik heb Contentful geïntegreerd met Next.js, Gatsby, Astro en Nuxt in projecten met content teams van 2 tot 200 personen.
Content modelling die schaalbaar is
Het verschil tussen een goede Contentful-implementatie en een fragiele is content modelling. Ik ontwerp schema's die aansluiten op uw redactionele workflow, niet andersom. Reference fields, validatieregels en structured text fields worden zodanig geconfigureerd dat redacteuren de frontend niet per ongeluk kunnen beschadigen.
Content migraties met Contentful CLI
Ik gebruik de Contentful CLI en migration scripts om schemawijzigingen onder versiebeheer te houden. Geen handmatige klikken in het dashboard — elke content model wijziging is reproduceerbaar en reversibel.
Common questions
Contentful REST API or GraphQL API?
GraphQL for complex content with many references — it reduces over-fetching. REST API for simpler queries where the overhead of GraphQL is not justified. I configure both in the same project when it makes sense.
How do you handle Contentful schema migrations?
I use the Contentful Migration CLI to write code-based migrations. Every schema change is a versioned migration script that can be reviewed, tested in a staging environment, and rolled back.
Can you set up preview mode with Contentful?
Yes — Contentful''s Preview API returns draft content. I wire this to Next.js Draft Mode so editors can preview unpublished changes on the actual site before publishing.
What are the main differences between Contentful and Sanity?
Contentful has a more structured, table-like editing interface — good for teams that prefer spreadsheet-like content management. Sanity''s Studio is more customisable and handles complex document structures better. For most enterprise projects both are excellent; I will help you choose based on your team''s workflow.
Is Contentful good for multilingual sites?
Yes — Contentful has first-class localisation support. Each content entry can have values per locale. I configure locale fallbacks, translation workflows, and locale-specific routing.
