## Page builder for Hygraph: what does it mean?
Hygraph (formerly GraphCMS) is a GraphQL-native headless CMS: content models, components, locales, content stages and multiple projects are its strengths, delivered via the GraphQL Content API. Hygraph comes with a web editor for content, but no finished, production-ready frontend. That is where Laioutr comes in: as a visual page builder and frontend layer that reads the content from Hygraph and delivers it as a fast website. Hygraph stays the content backend, Laioutr delivers the frontend. Laioutr is also an integrated headless CMS with Content Collections, Studio and frontend in one platform, and can manage content itself where needed.

### 1. The backend stays Hygraph
Hygraph continues to manage content, content models, components, permissions, roles, assets and locales. The Hygraph editor and established processes stay unchanged, with all webhooks and integrations.
### 2. The frontend is a free choice
There are several options for the frontend: an official Hygraph starter, a community framework with a Hygraph integration, a custom build or a page builder like Laioutr. Each option has its pros and cons.
### 3. Content flows in real time via the Hygraph GraphQL Content API
No duplicated data, no sync conflicts: Laioutr reads the content from Hygraph via the Hygraph GraphQL Content API and renders it, including locales and content stages.
OPTIONS
## Which frontend options exist for Hygraph?
With its web editor, content models and the GraphQL Content API, Hygraph provides the building blocks, but no finished, production-ready frontend product. Every Hygraph project therefore faces the frontend question. Four options are established in the market.
[Book a strategy call](https://www.laioutr.com/en/contact)
### 1. Hygraph starters (Next.js/Nuxt)
The official Hygraph starters (Next.js, Nuxt and others) are a good starting point for learning and proofs of concept. As a production frontend, the design system, components and page logic have to be developed further in-house. A fit for small sites or as an interim solution.
### 2. Community framework with a Hygraph integration
Open-source frontend frameworks with Hygraph SDKs and community integrations. An active community, but no official production frontend and no direct enterprise support. A fit with the right frontend team for whom open source is strategically important.
### 3. Custom build (Next.js or Nuxt)
Maximum control, highest effort: a six- to twelve-month build phase and ongoing maintenance by an in-house frontend team that connects the Hygraph GraphQL Content API itself. A fit when frontend engineering is a strategic core competency.
### 4. Laioutr Page Builder
A visual page builder and frontend platform with 70+ components, a connection to Hygraph and EU hosting as an add-on. Fastest time-to-launch, lowest learning curve: marketing and editorial teams build pages themselves. A fit for a fast go-live without a custom-build investment.
USE CASES
## Use cases: Laioutr on Hygraph in practice
Laioutr is built for Hygraph setups that need to change and scale fast: from the corporate website to multi-brand portfolios to campaign landing pages with high editorial volume.
[Book a strategy call](https://www.laioutr.com/en/contact)
### Multi-brand and multi-site on one Hygraph
Hygraph manages structured content for several brands and sites. Laioutr turns it into standalone frontends: one component pool, many brand presences, each with its own design and domain.
### Campaign and landing pages without a ticket
Marketing builds landing pages visually from ready-made building blocks, without custom code and without a developer ticket. Content comes from Hygraph, the layout takes shape in the page builder.
### Multilingual websites
Hygraph manages translations via locales, Laioutr delivers them consistently. Languages, layouts and content can be controlled per site.
### Content-driven sites and omnichannel
One Hygraph, many channels: structured content is delivered consistently across web and other touchpoints, with content, languages and layouts controllable per channel.
### Relaunch without touching the content model
The existing Hygraph frontend is renewed without touching content models, projects or editorial processes. Migration in phases, with a clear rollback plan.
### New Hygraph projects live fast
New Hygraph project, fresh start: with Blueprints and the UI library, a project goes live in weeks instead of months invested in a custom build.
Laioutr vs. building the frontend in-house
## Laioutr or in-house development for the Hygraph frontend?
Both paths lead to a decoupled frontend on Hygraph. The difference lies in time-to-launch, maintenance load and the question of who can build pages. The direct comparison:

Comparison based on a typical mid-market setup. The actual scope depends on the Hygraph project, the requirements and how the project is scoped.
In-house build
### When an in-house build is the right choice
A dedicated frontend team with Hygraph/GraphQL experience and at least three engineers is in place. Exactly one Hygraph frontend with highly specialised requirements is being built. Frontend engineering is a strategic core competency. Classic case: a brand with its own engineering team and a demand for pixel-level control.
LAIOUTR
### When Laioutr is the right choice
Go-live in weeks instead of months, editorial and marketing teams build pages on their own, several Hygraph projects or brands run in parallel, Hygraph should stay and only the frontend gets modernised, and BFSG and WCAG have to be covered without a separate audit. Classic case: an organisation that wants to modernise and scale its Hygraph frontend without a double-digit engineering investment.
BLUEPRINTS
## Start from a Blueprint instead of from scratch
Blueprints are pre-composed frontends for each industry, customisable right away and suited to the Hygraph setup. Starting from a Blueprint shortens the way to go-live.

FAQ
## FAQ: page builder for Hygraph
Does Laioutr work with Hygraph (multiple projects and multilingual)?
Yes. Laioutr reads the content from Hygraph via the GraphQL Content API and supports multiple projects, environments and locales, provided the corresponding content is available.
How does Laioutr differ from a custom build with Next.js?
A custom build typically means six to twelve months of engineering plus ongoing maintenance by an in-house frontend team. With Laioutr, Studio and 70+ components are part of the platform, and hosting is available as an add-on. Time-to-launch drops from months to weeks, by around 65 % for landing pages.
How does Laioutr differ from the Hygraph starter?
The Hygraph starters are code examples to build on: the design system, components and page logic are developed in-house and maintained across upgrade cycles. Laioutr provides a visual builder, ready-made components, Themes and Blueprints, so marketing and editorial teams can build pages themselves, without a ticket for every change. EU hosting is available as an add-on.
How does Laioutr connect to Hygraph?
Laioutr connects through the Hygraph GraphQL Content API. Standard content is supported (content models, components, assets, locales, stages), plus project-specific queries for custom logic.
Does Laioutr work with multiple Hygraph projects?
Yes. Hygraph projects are treated as standalone frontends in Laioutr. Layouts, content, languages and domains can be configured separately per site, in line with the Hygraph model.
What happens to our existing Hygraph integrations and webhooks?
Everything stays in place: Hygraph remains the content backend, including webhooks, integrations and roles. Laioutr sits on top as the presentation layer and renders the content without replacing any Hygraph configuration.
Hygraph is already headless and GraphQL-first, so why Laioutr?
Precisely because Hygraph provides content via API, the frontend question remains open: Hygraph delivers the API and the editor, but not a finished frontend that can be operated visually. Laioutr builds on this API layer and makes the frontend usable for marketing, editorial and development together, without in-house frontend development.
What about performance and SEO?
Laioutr delivers a server-side rendered frontend optimised for Core Web Vitals: LCP of 1.2 s at the median, with Lighthouse 100 as the target. Meta tags, structured data, clean URLs and sitemaps are part of the platform, as is discoverability in AI search.
What does Laioutr cost compared to a custom build?
Laioutr works with transparent SaaS plans; details are on the [pricing page for websites](https://www.laioutr.com/en/pricing/sites). Total cost of ownership is typically below a custom build, because Studio and components are part of the licence and no separate frontend team is needed. Hosting is available as an add-on.
Can we switch the backend later without rebuilding the frontend?
Yes. Laioutr is backend-agnostic and connects 50+ backends. If another system joins Hygraph later, such as a commerce backend, it is connected via API instead of rebuilding the frontend.
Is the solution BFSG and GDPR compliant?
Yes. Laioutr is GDPR-compliant out of the box, EU hosting is available, further regions on request (US, APAC), and regional data residency is possible. EU standard contractual terms and German-language support are included. WCAG and BFSG (the German Accessibility Strengthening Act, binding since 2025) are covered by default: compliance is built in, not bolted on.
How do we get started?
The fastest way is a short demo: the Laioutr team looks at the existing Hygraph setup and shows live how Laioutr delivers the content as a frontend. A concrete proposal for Blueprint, components and timeline follows. A pilot is usually live within 14 days.
Laioutr has its own headless CMS. Is Hygraph still needed?
Both options work. Laioutr is also an integrated headless CMS with Content Collections, Studio and frontend in one platform. Teams that want to keep Hygraph use Laioutr as the visual page builder and frontend on top of it. Teams that want to consolidate systems can manage content in Laioutr step by step.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "A custom build typically means six to twelve months of engineering plus ongoing maintenance by an in-house frontend team. With Laioutr, Studio and 70+ components are part of the platform, and hosting is available as an add-on. Time-to-launch drops from months to weeks, by around 65 % for landing pages.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The Hygraph starters are code examples to build on: the design system, components and page logic are developed in-house and maintained across upgrade cycles. Laioutr provides a visual builder, ready-made components, Themes and Blueprints, so marketing and editorial teams can build pages themselves, without a ticket for every change. EU hosting is available as an add-on.

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Precisely because Hygraph provides content via API, the frontend question remains open: Hygraph delivers the API and the editor, but not a finished frontend that can be operated visually. Laioutr builds on this API layer and makes the frontend usable for marketing, editorial and development together, without in-house frontend development.

"@type": "Answer",
