Ship content fast with a
minimal, structured CMS
Model reusable sections & typed fields; organize by organization → project → page. Draft, preview, publish and iterate without bloat.
Built for shipping content, not fighting a CMS
Focused feature set distilled from real-world needs — no sprawling config jungle.
Organization hierarchy
Clean multi-tenant model: Organizations → Projects → Pages keeps content scoped & access controlled.
Structured sections
Attach & reorder reusable sections composed of typed fields (text, rich text, enum, media, arrays).
Multi entries
Pages can be single or multiple. Create ordered entries (MultiPage) for blogs, docs, listings & more.
Granular fields
Each field tracked individually with types, required rules & positioning. Bulk value set & reorder APIs.
Preview tokens
Generate 30‑minute share links for draft content. Review before publishing without exposing everything.
SEO meta toolkit
Meta title/description, canonical URL, Open Graph & Twitter card fields plus robots & noindex flags.
Role based access
Owner, manager, member roles enforced across organizations. Fine‑grained permission checks server side.
Revisions & restore
Automatic revision snapshots for pages & multi entries. Roll back mistakes quickly.
Public API delivery
API key gated endpoints deliver published structured content fast with ETag + caching headers.
Audit fields
createdBy / updatedBy / deletedBy autopopulated via CLS middleware for traceability.
Sanitized rich text
Server side sanitize & allowlist ensures safe HTML output while preserving essential formatting.
Lean architecture
Simple Postgres + Node/Express + React stack – minimal layers so you can reason about content flow.
PageSprout vs WordPress
Focused structured content workflow versus general purpose CMS overhead.
Context & scope
WordPress is a full-stack application (templating, theming, plugins, auth & content authoring in one). PageSprout is a headless / content layer focused on modeling reusable sections & typed fields, meant to pair with a frontend (Next.js / static site / app) you control. The table below therefore compares content modeling & operational characteristics, not every feature of the broader WordPress ecosystem (e.g. ecommerce plugins, theme marketplace, turn‑key hosting bundles).
Use this comparison to decide if you want a slimmer structured content core + modern frontend, or an all‑in‑one monolith with expansive plugin surface.
Why teams adopt PageSprout
- No plugin maintenance treadmill
- Faster author onboarding
- Consistent reusable sections
- Predictable performance footprint
- Built-in multi-tenancy
- Cleaner API consumption pattern
Where WordPress still excels
- Turn‑key themes + marketplace variety
- Extensive plugin ecosystem (ecommerce, LMS, forms)
- Non‑technical WYSIWYG page composition out of the box
- All‑in‑one hosting bundles (some providers)
- Mature ecosystem knowledge & staffing availability
- Established plugin solutions for niche integrations
Choosing PageSprout doesn’t preclude WordPress: some teams migrate specific content domains or run both during transition.
Performance & Ops Snapshot (Content Layer Focus)
Ranges below show typical uncached/page render characteristics discussed in community sources vs PageSprout targets when paired with a modern frontend (e.g. Next.js static / edge cached). They are not 1:1 benchmarks of identical stacks and exclude front‑of‑house theming complexity.

- LCP definition & guidance: web.dev/lcp

- PageSprout figures are internal engineering targets; measure your own stack in production.

Frequently asked
More questions? Reach out via the contact form.
- Is PageSprout production ready?
- Core CRUD, structured content & delivery APIs exist, but the project is still stabilizing. Expect adjustments before a 1.0 tag.
- How is content modeled?
- Pages have ordered PageSections referencing reusable Sections. Sections define ordered typed fields whose values are stored independently.
- Do you support collections?
- Yes. Pages of type 'multiple' allow creating ordered MultiPage entries for things like blog posts.
- What about SEO?
- Per-page meta title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph & Twitter fields plus robots/noindex controls.
- Can I preview drafts?
- Yes. Time‑boxed preview tokens expose draft content securely without an API key.
- How is access enforced?
- Role based (owner, manager, member) at org level with server side checks in every controller.
