Studio

The platform where clients edit the sites we build for them, with no developer in the loop.

Studio's visual site editor: a live page on one side, editable content blocks on the other.

The challenge

A custom site is only useful if its owner can change it. The usual options hand the client a content system they did not ask for: WordPress and a stack of plugins, or a headless CMS that needs a developer every time a headline changes. The site should not go stale the week we hand it over.

What we built

Studio is where Ecodia's site clients edit the sites we built them: visual editing on the real page, a blog, a newsletter, and their subscriber list, all in one place. Sign-in is one Ecodia identity shared across Studio and every other Ecodia surface, so there is no separate account to manage. The owner edits a headline and the public site updates.

Impact, counted

No WordPress

Studio removes the usual overhead: no plugin stack to maintain, no second login, no developer between an owner and their front page. The site stays current because the owner can change it.

A custom site is only useful if its owner can change it.

How we worked

Studio was built so the site and the editor are the same object, not a separate page and dashboard. Editing happens against the live page, so what the owner sees is what goes live.

What it adds up to

A consulting client runs their live site day to day through Studio as a standing arrangement, with no developer touch for routine edits.

Client sites we build, a rainforest education centre, a conservation foundation, and a coastal marketplace, connect to Studio so the owner edits their own content.

One Ecodia sign-in spans Studio and the rest of the Ecodia surface, so there is one identity to hold, not one per tool.

An Ecodia product.
