CMS & Headless CMS – FAQ

Question 1

What's the difference between traditional CMS and headless CMS?

Accepted Answer

The key difference is how content is delivered. Traditional CMS (WordPress, Drupal): content and presentation are coupled together, built-in themes control how content looks, great for marketing websites and blogs, but content is tied to one website. Headless CMS (Strapi, Contentful, Sanity): content is separated from presentation, delivered via API to any frontend, great for multi-channel delivery (web, mobile, IoT), but requires developer involvement. Rule of thumb: if your content only goes to one website, traditional CMS works. If you need content across multiple channels, go headless.

Question 2

How long does a CMS migration take?

Accepted Answer

Typical timelines: Small site (less than 50 pages): 4-6 weeks. Medium site (50-200 pages): 8-10 weeks. Large site (200-1000 pages): 10-14 weeks. Enterprise (1000+ pages): 14-20 weeks. These include content migration, redirect setup, QA testing, and training. We never rush migrations—a botched migration can destroy your SEO.

Question 3

Will I lose my SEO rankings during migration?

Accepted Answer

Not if done correctly. Our migration process includes: complete URL audit before migration, 301 redirect mapping for every URL, metadata preservation (titles, descriptions, schemas), XML sitemap regeneration, Google Search Console monitoring, and post-migration SEO verification. We guarantee zero organic traffic loss from the migration itself. If rankings drop due to our migration work, we fix it for free.

Question 4

Which CMS do you recommend for e-commerce?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your scale and needs: Small catalog (less than 500 products): WooCommerce + WordPress. Medium catalog with custom needs: Shopify + Headless CMS. Large enterprise: Commerce Layer, BigCommerce, or Magento. Custom/complex: Headless (Sanity/Strapi) + custom checkout. We often recommend separating content (CMS) from commerce (e-commerce platform) for flexibility.

Question 5

Can my marketing team update content without developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's one of our key requirements when setting up any CMS. We ensure: intuitive content editing interface, visual preview before publishing, media library for images and files, scheduled publishing, role-based permissions, and comprehensive training for your team. We provide hands-on training sessions and video documentation so your team feels confident managing content independently.

Question 6

What's the ongoing cost of a headless CMS?

Accepted Answer

Varies by platform: Strapi (self-hosted): free + hosting costs (~€50-200/month). Strapi Cloud: €99-499/month. Contentful: free tier available, then €300-2,500+/month. Sanity: pay-as-you-go, typically €0-500/month for most sites. WordPress: €20-100/month for managed hosting. We help you choose based on your budget, content volume, and team size. Often, the 'expensive' option saves money long-term through efficiency gains.

Question 7

Do you provide training for our content team?

Accepted Answer

Yes, training is included in every CMS project: 2-hour hands-on training session (recorded), written documentation with screenshots, video tutorials for common tasks, 30-day support period for questions, and optional extended training packages for larger teams. We don't consider a project complete until your team is comfortable using the CMS independently.

Question 8

Can you integrate our CMS with other tools (CRM, email, analytics)?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Common integrations we implement: CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive), Email (Mailchimp, SendGrid, Klaviyo), Analytics (Google Analytics 4, Mixpanel, Amplitude), Search (Algolia, Elasticsearch), E-commerce (Shopify, Stripe, PayPal), DAM (Cloudinary, Uploadcare), Translation (Lokalise, Phrase). Headless CMS platforms are particularly good for integrations thanks to their API-first architecture.

Question 9

What happens if we need changes after the project is done?

Accepted Answer

Several options: 30-day support (included, covers bugs and minor tweaks), retainer agreement (monthly hours for ongoing changes), ad-hoc requests (project-based quotes for larger changes). Most clients opt for a small monthly retainer (5-10 hours) for peace of mind. We also fully document everything so another developer could take over if needed.
