About
A developer-owned content platform
Tempest CMS is built and run by Lervad — an internet design and programming studio in Vejen, Denmark (CVR 39262673). We make fast, server-rendered websites and the platform that powers them.
Our mission
Fast sites, owned by the people who build them
Tempest started as the in-house CMS at Lervad — built because WordPress and the other free platforms were bloated and confusing, needing plugin after plugin just to ship a clean, fast site.
So we made the opposite: a CMS tailored to each project, with only what it needs and nothing more. Because we own it end to end, we can shape it around each client — a brochure site today, a shop or booking system tomorrow — all on the same fast, mobile-first core.

Why teams choose us
Every Tempest site is tailored to its project — only what it needs, nothing it does not. Less surface area means fewer bugs, no breakdowns, and a site that stays fast for years.
