Questions we’re asked
When is headless not worth it?
If a well-built theme meets your speed, design and content needs, headless adds cost without return. We'll say so.
Who owns the code?
You do. Repositories live in your organisation from the first commit, and every licence, credential and deployment is in your name.
Do you sign an NDA before we share details?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any discovery call where you share architecture, data or commercial details.
