Admin dashboard development

Internal tools and content dashboards with role-based access, so your team can manage the site without touching code. This service covers the admin side of a project — the interface non-technical staff use to manage enquiries, content or other day-to-day data.

Problems this service solves

  • Content changes that currently require a developer for a simple edit

  • No single place to see or manage form submissions, enquiries or requests

  • Everyone sharing one login, with no distinction between roles

  • No record of who changed what inside the admin area

Who this is for

A business already running a website or application that needs a team-facing management layer — most often paired with a MERN/Next.js application build, but also relevant for adding admin capability to an existing site. Each dashboard is scoped to the client's actual content and workflows, not a generic off-the-shelf CMS.

What’s included

  • Role-based access control — super admin, admin and content editor roles

  • JWT-based authentication with HTTP-only cookies, never stored in `localStorage`

  • Server-side role checks enforced in the API, not just hidden UI elements

  • TanStack Query for data fetching, caching and optimistic updates

  • An audit log of significant admin actions

Development approach

Follows the standard eight-step process, with particular attention during planning to the roles and permissions needed — an admin dashboard is only as useful as the access model it was built on.

Estimated timeline

There’s no fixed timeline for this service — it depends on scope, how many integrations or third-party pieces are involved, and how quickly feedback comes back during review. You’ll get a project-specific timeline as part of your quote, not a generic estimate.
