iare-cms

CMS & backend API for content delivering

iare-cms is built on top of the popular headless CMS strapi.js, which allows us to create API & GraphQL endpoints very quickly for a fast and agile development enviroment.

It's fully built with javascript and is 100% customizable, meaning that we can extend it with in-house built plugins for future endeavours..
