Ploy CMS and integrations
Follow a tested PloyDB record from draft to public page. Understand the inputs, read-only website access, publication rules, failure checks, and limits of workspace integrations.
Connected Ploy websites
Kings Landing builds Ploy websites with structured content, controlled publishing, and scoped connections between the website and the tools behind it.
Start with a content system your team can operate. Our own site demonstrates CMS records becoming public pages, with draft controls and a read-only website credential.

A website with a working content system
A content-driven website needs more than page design. It needs a clear source for repeated information, an editing process, publication rules, and a way to keep navigation and discovery aligned with what is live.
We use PloyDB for this website's articles and Ploy resource pages. One record supplies a page's title, summary, body, metadata, review date, and publication state. The website reads those records at request time rather than embedding an exported copy in its build.
See our website case study or inspect the public buyer guide.
The publishing workflow we tested
On 9 October 2026, we checked three Ploy pages while their records were drafts. Their public URLs returned 404 with instructions to keep them out of search results. The existing agency page remained available, and the Ploy sitemap excluded the drafts.
We then released the three approved records. All three public pages returned 200 without another site deployment. Their metadata became indexable, the old agency URL redirected to the new hub, and the Blog, Selected Work, sitemap, and AI-readable content index reflected the published records.
That is a tested CMS-to-website workflow. It is not a demonstration of a CRM update, payment flow, visitor account, or external-service automation.

What we can scope with you
Structured content and editorial publishing
Define the records your team edits, the templates that render them, and who decides when they become public. Articles, service resources, case studies, and listings need different fields and reading journeys. Keep one-off campaign or company copy separate when a database would add work without helping editors.
Connections with a defined job
Start with the action, not an integration logo. Identify the source, destination, account owner, permitted operation, required fields, and failure response. A content import is different from a website form writing data, and both differ from a workspace workflow using an external account.
Ploy's integration documentation describes workspace connections. Available actions depend on the service, plan, account permissions, and write approval. A connection available to Ploy's Agent is not automatically an API available to a website visitor.
Review, handoff, and ongoing changes
Agree who maintains the content model and connection credentials, who approves publication, and how a failed operation is investigated. Document the fields editors use and the checks required before a new record or integration goes live. Support responsibilities and fees belong in the project agreement.
Keep the access boundary clear
The website credential for this Ploy resource collection has read access to its content table and no write access. Editors change records through the workspace, not through an unauthenticated public editing screen. Publishing requires an explicit eligible record; a missing record does not turn into sample content.
Client access needs its own decision. Ploy manages membership at organization level, not as isolated workspace invitations. A client who must not see other clients' work should have a separate organization. Ploy's agency guidance explains the billing and ownership arrangements.
A content website is also different from a visitor-facing application. Member accounts, transactions, private data, and complex business rules need their own implementation scope, security checks, and acceptance criteria.
For proposed AI-assisted operations, our human-controlled workflow guide sets out evidence, review, correction, and failure-handling questions. It is product-design guidance, not proof of an external integration in this CMS example.
Define the first useful release
Bring the record types, the people who edit them, and the action that currently requires manual work. Name the existing systems and the account owners. We can then define which work runs in the website, which runs inside the Ploy workspace, and which needs another service.
Use the Ploy website-cost guide to separate implementation, platform usage, external tools, and support. Use the agency hiring checklist to compare proposals against the same deliverables.
Discuss your system with Kings Landing. We agree the working example, scope boundaries, and acceptance checks before the build.

Questions about connected Ploy websites
Can Kings Landing build a CMS-backed Ploy website?
Yes. Our own website uses PloyDB records for articles and Ploy resources. The tested resource workflow connects approved records to public pages, related reading, the sitemap, and the AI-readable content index. We agree the content model and editing responsibilities for each client project.
Does a Ploy integration automatically work on the public website?
No. Ploy's connected-service actions are available to work in the workspace subject to account permissions. A visitor-facing feature needs its own implementation and access checks. Define the exact action and where it runs before treating a workspace connection as part of the website.
Can editors release CMS content without another website deployment?
In our tested resource collection, yes. The deployed site reads eligible PloyDB records at request time. Releasing three records changed their public pages and discovery links without another deployment. Source-code, template, or newly configured secret changes still require a site publish.
Is this the same service as building a complete application?
No. This page describes content-driven Ploy websites and scoped connections around them. Visitor accounts, transactions, private data, and application business rules require a separate agreed development and testing scope. The tool stack should follow that scope.
What should I send before discussing a connected website?
Send the current website, the content types your team edits, the people who approve them, the external systems involved, and the action you want to support. Name the account owners and any data restrictions. That gives us a basis for defining a working first release and a quote.
