Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose a SilverStripe CMS development agency in Wellington?
Choosing a local agency ensures you have partners who understand the NZ digital landscape, data sovereignty requirements, and government web standards (all critical for SilverStripe projects).
How long does a SilverStripe CMS migration take?
A standard migration (e.g., SS3 to SS5) typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on the complexity of custom modules and the size of the database. We prioritize zero downtime during launch.
Can you handle SilverStripe CMS integration with custom CRMs?
Yes. SilverStripe is a framework-first CMS, making it exceptionally good for API integrations. We have successfully connected SilverStripe to various CRMs, ERPs, and marketing automation tools.
