CMS and web platform development

A website that runs the business, not just describes it.

Most business sites are a brochure with a contact form bolted on, and everything that actually makes money lives in another tool. We build the site and the system as one thing, on Laravel.

Plugins to maintain

When a platform beats a website

You are probably here because one of these is true.

Your site broke after an update

Twenty plugins from twenty authors, and one of them stopped being maintained. Now the checkout is down on a Saturday.

Nobody on staff can update it

Changing a price or adding a staff bio means emailing an agency and waiting three days for a fifteen minute job.

You outgrew the page builder

The template handles a homepage fine, but it cannot handle members, a directory, or how your pricing actually works.

Your tools do not talk to each other

The site, the store, the email list, and the booking tool each hold part of the customer, and none of them agree.

You are invisible in search and AI answers

No structured data, thin pages, slow load times. Search engines and AI assistants cannot tell what you do or who you serve.

You need accessibility handled properly

A widget in the corner is not compliance. Accessibility has to be in the markup, and it has to survive the next content update.

What goes into the build

Modules, not plugins.

Everything here is built and maintained by us on one codebase, so nothing conflicts and nothing gets abandoned by a third party developer.

Pages and content

A block based editor your team can actually use, with reusable components so the site stays on brand without a designer.

Ecommerce

Products, variants, carts, coupons, shipping, and Stripe checkout. Print on demand through Printful where it fits.

Memberships and logins

Gated content, subscription tiers, member directories, and self serve account management.

Events and ticketing

Event listings, paid tickets, classes, webinars, and virtual sessions through Zoom or Google Meet.

Directories and listings

Searchable, filterable listings for locations, providers, properties, or partners, with their own detail pages and schema.

CRM and forms

Every form submission becomes a real lead record with routing, follow up tasks, and reporting, not just an email.

Schema and SEO

Structured data on every content type, clean semantic markup, metadata control, and Core Web Vitals handled at the framework level.

Accessibility

Keyboard navigation, contrast, focus states, and labelling built into the components, with Accessibe available on top.

Mobile app version

With NativePHP the whole site can ship as native iOS and Android apps with push notifications through Firebase.

Two ways to get there

Launch on QikCMS, or build something entirely your own.

Most businesses are best served by the platform. A few genuinely need their own. We will tell you which one you are.

Built on QikCMS

Most common. From $25 per month, or $40 with ecommerce.

A custom designed site on the platform already running 250+ sites, with hosting, updates, and security included. TBA Marketing builds their entire agency book this way.

  • Fastest path to launch, lowest total cost
  • Hosting, SSL, backups, and updates included
  • Every module available when you are ready for it
  • Custom modules built on top when you need them

Ground up Laravel build

Fully bespoke. Typically 3 to 6 months.

For platforms with unusual data models, heavy integrations, compliance requirements, or a product you intend to sell access to.

  • Architecture designed entirely around your model
  • You own the code and the roadmap outright
  • Host with us or anywhere you choose
  • Built to scale into a SaaS product if that is the goal
Proof

250+ sites, one platform we maintain.

TBA Marketing

Agency partner. Builds and hosts over 250 client sites on QikCMS, running their whole production model on our platform rather than maintaining plugin stacks per client.

Berkley Chapel

Migration. Migrated off Planning Center onto a customized QikCMS build so the site and the ministry's operations finally matched how they actually run.

Winners Circle Sportsbar

Site plus ordering. Runs QikCheckout ordering as part of their web presence, with the menu and the orders in the same system.

How the build runs

Four phases, no mystery months.

Phase 01: Map

Sitemap, content model, and the list of things the site has to do beyond publishing pages. Scope, budget, and timeline before code.

Phase 02: Design

Key page designs and a component set, reviewed as real screens rather than a static mockup you have to imagine in a browser.

Phase 03: Build

Development on a staging site you can log into any time. Content migration, redirects, integrations, and testing run alongside.

Phase 04: Launch and support

We launch with redirects mapped so rankings hold, train your team on the editor, and stay on for hosting and ongoing work.

Questions

CMS and web platforms, answered.

WordPress is fine for a brochure site. The trouble starts when the business needs ecommerce, memberships, events, and a CRM, because each one becomes a plugin from a different author with its own update cycle and security history. We build those as modules on one maintained codebase, so a plugin conflict cannot take your checkout down.

Yes, and most clients do. The editor is block based with your components, so staff can add pages, change prices, and post updates without breaking the design or calling us.

Not if the migration is done properly. We map every existing URL to its new destination, carry metadata across, and add structured data most old sites never had. Sites usually come out of a migration with better technical SEO than they went in with.

Sites on QikCMS start at $25 per month, or $40 per month with ecommerce, hosting included. Design and build are quoted separately based on scope. A ground up custom platform is quoted per project after the mapping phase.

Yes. Hosting, SSL, backups, monitoring, and security updates are included on QikCMS plans. On a bespoke build you can host with us or anywhere you prefer.

Yes. With NativePHP we package the platform into native iOS and Android apps with push notifications and handle the app store submissions.

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. TBA Marketing builds and hosts over 250 client sites on our platform. Agencies own the client relationship while we handle the platform, hosting, and development.
