New website without a CMS
For sites with modest editing needs where a traditional CMS would add ongoing work.
Read the CMS-free website pageA clearly scoped, accessible website from first questions to launch.
Colabs helps businesses, founders and nonprofits across Europe decide what the site must do, how people will update it and what belongs in the first release. We then build the responsive website and prepare it for launch.

What Colabs takes responsibility for
The core engagement can cover site structure, technical decisions, responsive frontend development, CMS configuration where needed, accessibility checks and launch coordination.
Visual design and copywriting are scoped separately. They may already exist, come from your partners or be included by agreement. You work directly with the experienced people planning and building the site.
Choosing the setup
CMS, lightweight editing or a static site?
Frequent publishing, several editors and approval workflows can justify a CMS. A smaller site that changes a few times a year may be easier to run with structured content or a static setup.
We explain what each option means for editing, hosting and maintenance before you commit to a platform.
What you have at launch
- A responsive website built around the agreed pages and features
- An editing flow that matches the people maintaining the content
- Keyboard, focus, form and responsive checks within the project scope
- A documented technical structure for later changes
- Agreed hosting, maintenance and support arrangements
Project process
What happens before and during the build
We start with the audience, required pages and features, available content, editing needs, design status and target launch date. Early-stage enquiries are welcome; we can help turn an incomplete brief into a workable scope.
Our estimate sets out the pages, features, responsibilities, review rounds, schedule, price and anything not included. Before launch, we check responsive behaviour, keyboard use, content structure and the agreed editing flow.
Typical projects
- Organisation and service-business websites
- Campaign, project and portfolio sites
- Figma-to-frontend implementation
- CMS-free sites with occasional content updates
- Accessible rebuilds of outdated websites

Tell us what the site needs to do, who will use it and what already exists. A finished brief is optional. We will ask what is still unclear, then prepare an estimate with a defined scope.
