For agencies and freelancers
Build it, hand it over, done.
With ProtagonistCMS, you hand your clients a website they maintain themselves, on hosting they own. No change requests for three words, and no hosting tied to you.
The problem
Built and launched, responsible forever
Whether WordPress, a website builder or hand-built: after launch, the website often stays stuck with you. The hosting runs on your account, you keep an eye on updates and security holes, and clients who don’t dare touch the back end would rather give you a quick call. With static sites, even every changed word ends up with you.

The solution
Simple enough for your clients to do it themselves
You build the design as a ProtagonistCMS theme, and your clients keep the content up to date right on the page.
Clients edit it themselves
Click a text, type, save. No training, no manual and no call to you.
Your design stays your design
Clients only fill in the fields you planned for. Fixed content elements keep the layout intact.
Quick to build
A theme is HTML and CSS in Twig templates, with a few markers for the editable fields. With AI, it comes together as quickly as a static site.
The handover
Set it up, hand it over, step out
Hosting, maintenance and billing don’t have to stay with you forever.
Your client books the hosting
Your client signs the hosting contract directly with a provider such as netcup, in their own name and on their own bill.
You set everything up
Your client gives you access, and you install ProtagonistCMS with your theme and fill in the first content.
You hand it over
Your client gets their password, and you’re out: no hosting, no maintenance and no billing you answer for indefinitely. They install updates with one click.
