BACK OFFICE

A website you can edit yourself, without calling anyone

The most common request I get is to be able to change the content without messaging a developer every time a price moves. The Corporate package at THB 10,000 has that built in from the start.

What a back office actually is

The term gets used so loosely that two people rarely mean the same thing. In practice it is a screen you log into and change things on the site yourself, without touching code and without waiting for anybody. How much you can change is the part that has to be agreed before the build.

The misunderstanding that causes arguments later is assuming a back office means everything is editable. It is always two layers. What changes often should be yours. What changes rarely but breaks easily should stay with the developer, because one wrong click there costs a page.

Where the line sits

  • Yours — every line of text, images, prices, opening hours, phone numbers, articles, products and services. These change often, and a mistake is undoable.
  • Developer — new page layouts, connections to outside systems, and updating the platform itself. These change once or twice a year and are hard to recover from.

That line belongs on paper when the work is agreed, not discovered months later when you try to change something and cannot.

Which package includes it

The prices and contents match the packages page exactly.

  • 01

    Portfolio, THB 1,500 — not included

    A single page for showing your work. The content rarely changes, so a back office is not yet worth building. Edits go through me within the agreed rounds.

  • 02

    Landing page, THB 3,000 — not included

    You get a form that delivers to email or LINE, plus Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel installed. The copy itself is still edited through me.

  • 03

    Corporate site, THB 10,000 — included

    The first package with a back office. Text and images across all five pages are yours to change, along with the SEO structure and a design built to your brand.

  • 04

    Online store, from THB 20,000 — included, and more

    Beyond content editing there is an order, product, stock and member back office, which is daily operational work rather than content work.

  • 05

    Custom systems — designed around the work

    For systems that do not fit a standard package, the back office is designed around how the business actually runs. Priced against scope after a conversation.

  • 06

    Every package — 3 revision rounds, 1 year cover

    The three rounds are revisions during the build, within the agreed scope. The year of cover starts at handover.

Test it before the work is signed off

Do not take the explanation or the demo video. Do it yourself, on your own login, while the developer is still there. If these three finish without anybody clicking for you, it works.

  • Change a sentence on the home page, publish, and check the live site changed
  • Replace an image, and check nothing shifts or stretches
  • Add one new item, and check it appears in the listing on its own

The full handover checklist is in the article on a handover clients can run .

WordPress has a back office already, so why not use it

Because what people want is to edit their own content, not to own thirty plugins. The work I take uses a content system separate from the site itself: the site is written as code for the job, and the content lives in its own place.

The difference you see is a screen with only the fields this site actually uses — no hundred menu items nobody knows the effect of, and no plugins from different authors where updating one breaks another.

The reasoning in full is in the article on why I do not use WordPress .

Questions about the back office

Is it hard to use? Do I need someone technical?

No. The editing screen is text fields and an upload button. Anyone who can write a document or post on Facebook can use it. At handover we go through it together once, with a one-page note covering whatever you will change most often.

Can several staff have access?

Yes, and they should. Separate accounts mean you can see who changed what, and permissions are set per role. Somebody updating prices does not need the same access as the owner.

What if I break something?

Edits are versioned, so you can go back to a previous one. Content and site structure are separate, so changing text cannot break the layout.

I want a back office but my budget is the landing page

Two routes. Start with the landing page and upgrade later. Or tell me what actually needs to change: some jobs only need three specific things editable, which can be built without a full system.

If we stop working together, does the back office still work?

Yes. The accounts are in the name of the business from the start rather than mine, and the content can be exported. This is worth asking every developer you consider, not only me.
