CONTENT-FIRST FOR MARKETERS. CODE-FIRST FOR DEVELOPERS.
Restoring love in the equation.
Working with a dev team shouldn't be something you dread—it should instead be an opportunity for collaboration. Payload is purpose-built to mend the relationship, granting developers the freedom to build limitlessly (and fast) while providing marketers an intuitive, next-generation authoring experience to create compelling content.
What we found so user‑friendly about Payload was how simple the UI was to upload, edit and manage content. Things were not hidden behind code.
