Case study — custom CMS
How Lula Lake Sound Studio runs its own updates.
No developer in the loop for every session page or event.
Every small edit routes through a developer you can't schedule. We build a CMS wired around how your team actually works, so they ship the change themselves the same day.

The studio was doing the work. The site was waiting on someone else.
Your team drafts the change, sends it to a developer, waits, reviews a staging link, sends notes, waits again. A three-word edit takes three days.
You've tried the template tools. They either don't model the things you actually publish, or they force your team into plugins no one wants to learn.
The site looks fine, but you can't get the code, can't hire a new dev to touch it, and every new request is a fresh SOW.
Lula Lake needed the website to keep up with how they already published — not another interface that required a developer on retainer for every tweak.
We built the CMS around their workflow, not a template's.
The editor had to match the parts of the site they touch most — session pages, events, artist credits, copy — with drafts and previews so changes ship with confidence.
- A CMS modeled on how your team actually publishes — events, posts, case studies, whatever your domain needs.
- An editing UI your non-technical team picks up in an afternoon, not a training day.
- You own what we build; we manage the repo and hosting while we work together, with a clean path to full custody when you want it.
- Previews, drafts, roles, and versioning built in — not bolted on via plugins.
What they run today.
Lula Lake Sound Studio needed more than a polished website. They needed a content platform their creative team could run without waiting on a developer for every event update, session page, artist credit, or copy change. We built a custom CMS around the way the studio actually publishes: structured content for the pieces they update most often, simple editing flows for non-technical users, with us managing repo and hosting while they publish day to day. The result is a site the team can keep current themselves, without turning routine updates into tickets.
Client, in their words
“Inference Partners built a beautiful website for my small business.”
