Built for every role

Three teams. One CMS.

Whether you're shipping copy, designing variants, or wiring up webhooks — Mero CMS adapts to your role without forcing you into someone else's workflow.

For marketing teams

Edit headlines, swap section variants, schedule launches, and check publish history — all without bothering engineering.

For content editors

Drafts, scheduled posts, AI-assisted outlines, and a media library that doesn't require dragging into 4 different folders.

For developers

REST + webhooks, theme manifests in theme.json, capability gates in code. Read the docs once, never read them again.

Questions

Everything you'd ask before buying.

Can't find the answer? Talk to a human →

Is Mero CMS a subscription?+
No. Mero CMS is a one-time license per production deployment. You own the running code. Lifetime updates for the current major version, plus 12 months of support included.
Can we build our own theme?+
Yes. Every theme is a Next.js project that declares sections and variants in theme.json. The admin adapts automatically -- no extra CMS work to add new sections.
Does it work with our existing stack?+
Mero CMS is a headless-ish Node + Postgres backend with REST endpoints. Themes are Next.js apps consuming those endpoints. API keys let mobile, native, or any other frontend pull the same content.
What about performance?+
The theme is statically generated with ISR. The backend ships with helmet, rate limits, HMAC-signed webhooks, and a 2 MB JSON body cap. Private media goes through signed URLs.
How does upgrading tiers work?+
It's a license swap, not a reinstall. Capabilities gate via the matrix in code, so the right features turn on the moment your tier updates.
