I will build a strapi 5 headless cms and API for any frontend


About this gig
Need a Strapi backend that fits your project instead of fighting it? I build Strapi 5 headless CMS projects with a clean data model, secure roles and a fast REST or GraphQL API.
What I build:
Content types, relations, components, roles and permissions
Custom controllers, services, routes and lifecycle hooks
Custom Strapi plugins and admin panel extensions
AI integration: OpenAI/Claude content generation, moderation, chat, search
Webhooks, email, payments, third-party APIs, n8n automations
Media storage (S3, Cloudinary), PostgreSQL, API docs
Deployment on your VPS (nginx, SSL, backups)
Works with any frontend: Next.js, React, React Native or your existing site.
How it works: you describe the project, I confirm scope within an hour, share a working demo, then revisions and handover with source code in Git.
I've shipped Strapi backends for e-commerce, real estate and content platforms, so I know the pitfalls: permissions, performance and migrations.
Send me a message with your idea and data structure and I'll suggest the right package.

FAQ
Do you work with Strapi v4 or only v5?
New projects are built on Strapi 5. If you have a v4 project that needs an upgrade or fixes, message me first so we can check the scope.
Can you build custom plugins, controllers or AI features?
Yes. I write custom controllers, services, lifecycle hooks and Strapi plugins, and integrate OpenAI or Claude (content generation, chat, search). Describe what you need and I’ll suggest a package or a custom offer.
Which frontend can I use with the API?
Any. Next.js, React, React Native or your existing site. I mostly work with Next.js and can help connect your frontend if needed.
Can you deploy it to my server?
Yes. I deploy to your VPS or cloud with nginx, SSL and PM2 or Docker. Deployment is included in Standard and Premium, and available as an extra for Basic.
Do I get the source code?
Yes, the full project in a Git repository, with a README and API docs so your team can keep working with it.
Can you work with my existing Strapi project?
Yes, if it needs a feature, a custom plugin or a bug fix. Send me the details first, and I’ll tell you if it’s a fit and which package to choose.
