FAQ’s
Need Some Answers?
We have answered some of the most commonly asked questions below.
What does "Headless CMS" mean?
Headless CMS (Content Management System) separates the front-end of a website from the back-end. Traditional CMSs couple those together. With it uncoupled, it is a great fit to allow developers and marketers to collaborate on creating content. Developers create reusable UI components that marketers can add to any page without them needing to know any code. Since the front-end is separate from the back-end it makes it easier to use the latest and greatest front-end technology. The Headless architecture permits the addition of new features and functions without affecting the content.
Do I need to understand web programming to update my web site?
No. We will built reusable sections called slices that you can add to any page. Just add a slice to a page, fill in the fields for that slice, and it will appear on the page. Edit any slice with ease without any knowledge of coding.
Can I add images and media as well as text?
Yes. Slices allow all sorts of media types to be added.
Is it possible I could accidentally mess up the design of my site when I make updates or add content?
The reusable sections we create called slices will not affect anything outside of the slice. Your design will not be altering by any changes you make. You can also preview your changes at any time before publishing.

Does web development take longer or cost more than with WordPress?

Is this development platform secure from hackers?
Using Prismic CMS, the front-end of the site is separate from the back-end. This prevents any front-end vulnerability from affecting your content in the back-end. You are much more secure using this technology.
How do you quote out a new web site?
Usually, we charge $700 for each content page. If you have any dynamic pages powered by databases or anything complex, that page will be a different price.
What does the development process look like? When and how do you solicit feedback from the client?
Step 1 - Newland Websites will communicate with you to find out how your business operates and generates revenue. Then we come up with a basic outline of which pages will be on the site.
Step 2 - Keyword research is performed. We will need a list of 3 to 5 competitors to research what keywords are directing users to your industry and discover the best options for each page's keywords.
Step 3 - Newland Websites creates 2 or 3 designs of your homepage for mobile and desktop. You can provide feedback on which design you like, any changes you want made, and we will make revisions. This process allows for 3 rounds of revisions.
Step 4 - After homepage design is approved, Newland Websites creates designs for the rest of your website's pages. Once these are approved, development begins.
Step 5 - During development, the client can view the progress anytime at yourcompanyname.newlandwebsites.com.
Step 6 - After development is complete, Newland Websites will perform quality assurance to fix bugs and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) issues.
Step 7 - You can then review the site to find any additional bugs and issues. Anything that is far away from the approved designs will be charged as extra.
Step 8 - Release to production followed by testing of production.
Do you provide graphics and stock images?
Yes. Our stock images and graphics created by the designer are included in the price of the site.
