Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a headless website?
- A headless website separates content management (CMS) from the presentation layer (frontend). You keep the familiar admin interface in WordPress, Sanity, or Payload CMS, while the frontend is built with lightning-fast technologies like Next.js. The result is a website that combines easy content editing with top performance.
- Why is headless faster than traditional websites?
- Traditional CMS like WordPress dynamically generates pages on each request, which is slow. Headless architecture pre-renders pages as static HTML files served from a global CDN. This eliminates database queries and server processing, delivering load times under 1 second and 100/100 Lighthouse scores.
- What does a headless website cost?
- Headless websites start from 75,000 NOK for a standard business site with Headless WordPress or Sanity. Medium projects with e-commerce or multilingual support cost 120,000-150,000 NOK. Enterprise solutions with advanced integrations start from 180,000 NOK. All packages include 3 months of free support.
- What CMS options do you offer?
- We offer three main options: Headless WordPress for those already familiar with WordPress, Sanity for modern content teams needing flexible structuring, and Payload CMS for developers wanting full control. All three deliver the same lightning-fast frontend performance - the choice depends on your team's preferences and needs.
- How long does it take to build a headless website?
- A standard business site takes 4-6 weeks from start to launch. Medium projects with customizations take 6-10 weeks. Enterprise solutions with complex integrations take 10-14 weeks. We use agile sprints with weekly demonstrations so you see continuous progress.
