I'm in the process of redesigning a website for an online gaming platform similar to CrazyGames or Poki. Currently, the site is built using SvelteKit, and I'm aiming to create a more visually stunning design while improving SEO, and adding landing pages and blog content. My background is in building SaaS sites with WordPress, and I'm concerned about maintaining flexibility without heavily relying on my developer for updates. We need a fast site that allows users to access games easily. I'm looking for CMS options that are similar to WordPress but won't compromise on performance or speed.

I actually created a custom CMS using AI that has a user interface plus a builder/publisher tool. It only took me a few hours to set up since I knew exactly how I wanted my components structured. If you want control over the look and structure of your marketing pages, this could be a game-changer for you!
The best strategy is to keep SvelteKit for the frontend (for speed and user experience) while integrating a headless CMS like a headless WordPress, Sanity, or Strapi for your content management. This allows your developer to create a fast, custom user interface while you handle blog posts, landing pages, and SEO without any coding hassle. A hybrid setup could be your best bet for the future.
I always lean towards a headless CMS these days. It might simplify your life as a developer by allowing you to build and manage your website independently of a traditional CMS.
Have you considered using a headless CMS? You can keep SvelteKit for the frontend since it's fast and SEO-friendly, while using a platform like Sanity or Contentful for your marketing pages. This way, the developer sets up the components, and you get a visual editor for creating blog and landing pages. It's a win-win—you retain content control without needing the dev for every little change.
That's a wild suggestion! Having control without having to bug the developer for every tweak sounds ideal.
