Products & foundations
Build on useful groundwork. Keep your business at the centre.
Reusable engineering can provide a stronger starting point when it matches your requirements. These foundations support bespoke work; they don’t dictate the solution.
Applications & operational systems
Application Foundation
Reusable engineering groundwork for applications, portals and operational systems, with identity, administration, files, email notifications and observability.

Digital Experience Foundation
A Payload and Next.js foundation for structured content and commerce experiences, with reusable sections and clear implementation boundaries.

Shared platform or publishing capabilities already represented in code.

Providers, policies, content models and environments shaped for the implementation.
Bespoke
The business workflows, integrations and experience that make your solution useful.
Choosing a starting point
Match the foundation to the work.
- An application or operational platform
- Consider the Application Foundation for identity, administration, files, notifications and observability, with your business workflows built around that groundwork.
- Content and commerce
- Consider the Digital Experience Foundation for editorial publishing, campaigns, catalogue structure and buying journeys that need a content-management system.
- An experience connected to an application
- A project may combine both foundations when customer-facing content or commerce also needs operational workflows or application capabilities. Shared identity, data contracts and responsibility boundaries need to be designed; they are not assumed to connect automatically.
- A different or still-unclear requirement
- Start with discovery and technical advice. A simpler website, another technology or fully bespoke engineering may fit better. Neither foundation is required.
Let’s talk about it
Which starting point fits your requirements?
We can review the context and discuss whether either foundation is appropriate, or whether a different approach makes more sense.
