The challenge

Ambitious roadmap. Lean team. No time to hire.

Modern marketing, ops, and product teams are asked to ship more — site consolidations, AI experiments, integrations, performance work — without a matching headcount budget. Senior engineering hires take six months and a quarter-million dollars to onboard. Agencies disappear after launch. Tickets pile up.

Hiring lag

A senior full-stack hire takes 4–6 months from approval to productive — by then the initiative is already late.

Agency churn

Project-shop devs build, hand off, and leave. There's nobody who knows your stack when something breaks.

Ticket backlog

Small fixes — a YouTube embed swap, a new search filter — sit for weeks because internal devs are buried.

You don't need another vendor. You need capacity — engineers who know the platform, sit with your team, and ship.

What it is

A fractional dev team that ships like in-house.

Content.One's Technical Solutions group becomes an extension of your team — strategy, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, releases, integrations, and monitoring. You get senior engineers who know the platform deeply, without the recruiter, the offer letter, or the burdened cost.

Embedded, not transactional

Inside your sprint

Stand-ups, Slack channel, project board, kickoff calls. The same engineers stay with you — they learn your data, your stack, and how your team works.

Full delivery arm

Architecture → release → monitoring

Architecture, automation, integrations, performance, releases, monitoring — handled end-to-end. You operate like a much larger in-house tech team.

Included in your license

No separate SOW per ticket

Response-time SLAs, 24/7/365 coverage, account management, ongoing training — bundled. No surprise invoices for every small ask.

Senior-only

60+ years combined experience

Architecture and marketing experience baked in. The people on your project have shipped at enterprise scale before.

Enterprise-grade platforms — without adding headcount.

The Salvation Army needed to consolidate five CMSs, modernize a national digital ecosystem, and ship new tools — fast. They didn't hire a 10-engineer team. They embedded Content.One's On-Demand Devs alongside their internal staff.

"It's rare to find a vendor that understands both the technical complexity and the human complexity of an organization like ours."

Andrew Dobney · Director of Digital Strategy, The Salvation Army

Uptime across national infrastructure

Engineers embedded with the internal digital team. Releases, integrations, monitoring — handled end-to-end.

Speed of delivery

Hours and days, not weeks and months.

Tickets that used to sit in an agency backlog — or wait for the next sprint of an overloaded internal team — get resolved in real time. The same engineers know your stack, so a new integration, a search filter, or a bug fix lands the same day it's raised.

That cadence is the difference between an initiative shipping this quarter and slipping to next year.

"Hard to quantify the fast turnaround we see every day — but days instead of weeks, months. That was a main factor in moving."
Andrew Dobney · Director of Digital Strategy, The Salvation Army

"With Content.One, I can add an EOD ticket and get real-time dialogue and quick resolution in the same day."
Jon Aren · National Web Manager, The Salvation Army

Onboarding & partnership

White-glove from kickoff to launch — and after.

Every engagement starts with a scoped kickoff: discovery, architecture, timeline, milestones. From there it's weekly check-ins, launch support, and ongoing coaching via Slack or Teams. Engineers are in the room during launch to make sure go-live actually goes.

SLA-backed

Response-time SLAs with a global team. 24/7/365 coverage, no time-zone gaps.

Slack / Teams native

Real-time channels with your project team. EOD tickets resolved EOD.

Total training mgmt

LMS + live sessions tailored to roles. Track progress, send reminders, keep knowledge current.

Direct AM access

Email and phone access to account managers. Proactive — not just reactive.

"Onboarding was thorough, documentation clear, guidance responsive and tailored. The collaborative architecture work and project management have been strong — clear direction, flexible, and aligned on priorities."
Andrew Dobney · Director of Digital Strategy, The Salvation Army

Bolt onto your existing stack

Connect the systems you already run.

Content.One's modular, API-first architecture connects to your CRM, payments, donation, ERP, EHR, careers, and AI tools — instead of replacing them. On-Demand Devs handle the wiring: webhooks, real-time sync, cascading automation, AI-ready datasets.

Old way

✕ Every integration is a bespoke project, separately scoped and quoted.
✕ Custom code rots — original devs gone, docs stale, fixes risky.
✕ Internal team gates everything; experiments stall in backlog.

With On-Demand Devs

✓ Engineers who know the platform wire integrations as standard work.
✓ Your team gets the autonomy to set up APIs without custom builds.
✓ AI experiments and analytics layer onto a foundation that's already solid.

"API integrations required custom development on our old platform. We now have the autonomy to set up APIs through Content.One with ease."
Jon Aren · National Web Manager, The Salvation Army

"By using Content.One as our CMS, we were able to soft launch in six weeks and fully launch within two months."
Matthew Parnell · MARCOM Manager, Sony Electronics

"We need software that's both secure and agile. After seven years, we continue to build on Content.One because the platform listens, evolves, and stays reliable."

Ben Johnson · Director of Technology Operations, Bluepixel (Sony's agency)

Who it's for

Bolt-on capacity for the work that's already on your roadmap.

Site consolidation

Many CMSs → one

Federated multisite migrations, content audits, redirect maps, unified taxonomy — the work that's too big for one in-house dev to own.

AI & automation

From experiment to production

Generative content workflows, MCP-driven agents, structured data for GEO. On-Demand Devs ship past the demo into a real production system.

Performance & SEO

Speed and discoverability

CDN tuning, schema rollout, Core Web Vitals work, GEO/SEO automation across thousands of pages.

Integrations & data

CRM, EHR, donor, payments

API and webhook wiring across your stack — keeping data flowing in real time so marketing and ops can move.

"We can finally start thinking ahead again — not just patching things. It's opened up space for creativity, strategy, and mission."
Jon Aren · National Web Manager, The Salvation Army

Capacity, not contracts

Accelerate the work — without adding the headcount.

"We knew big-name tools are impressive and look like they have the most features — but they'd never sit in the room with us. Content.One did. We needed the personal touch."
Jon Aren · National Web Manager, The Salvation Army
