Question 1

What’s the difference between WordPress and your CMS?

Accepted Answer

The difference is flexibility. WordPress was originally made for blogs but is today used for diverse sites with plugins and themes. Spaug’s CMS, built on Payload CMS, is designed from the ground up to adapt the admin to developers’ needs and supports many kinds of web solutions without mismatched plugins.

Question 2

What are WordPress and WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

WordPress is a free CMS and blogging platform anyone can set up and use. WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress that turns a regular WordPress site into a full-fledged, powerful online store.

Question 3

How does an online store from Spaugur work?

Accepted Answer

Our e-commerce solution is quite simple. We either custom-build the storefront your customers see, or you choose one of our pre-built themes. That site acts as a frontend that connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, or whatever platform you use. The back office remains in the platform you’ve chosen and still works with your integrations (e.g., Iceland Post), while your customers enjoy a much faster, more beautiful, and more efficient site.

Question 4

Can you connect a platform other than Shopify or WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we can assess whether other platforms can be connected beyond the ones we already support; additional work is done per our price list. Please contact us to explore it together!

Question 5

How does SEO work?

Accepted Answer

Nowadays SEO is about maximizing the information search engines like Google can access (i.e., metadata) and maximizing useful text and other content on the site. We keep this front-of-mind with all our sites and work with clients to produce sites that achieve it.

Question 6

How does speed optimization work?

Accepted Answer

Speed optimization reduces the size and amount of assets a user’s browser needs to download to load the page. This can be achieved with clever techniques, e.g., loading low-resolution images first and higher-resolution ones after other important content has loaded. Proper diagnosis of performance issues — not just applying tricks randomly — and careful use of these methods can greatly increase perceived speed. Our solution puts control over how the site is built in your (and our) hands so we can apply these techniques optimally.

Question 7

How much does it cost to build an online store?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary by project — everyone’s needs are different. Please reach out if you’re interested in exploring a store built by Spaugur. Our specialists are ready to work with clients to keep costs within reasonable limits and can advise on the best solution in each case, regardless of our business relationship.

Question 8

Is there a monthly cost after the store is finished?

Accepted Answer

After the project is completed, clients can choose to have us host and operate it. That can pay off operationally, though of course there’s a monthly fee. Clients can always move hosting elsewhere, and Spaug specialists can advise and assist with that process, for an hourly fee.
