Social Media Marketing Review from Tiffany Haynes
I tell you what, you have a lifelong client with me! You were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and finally an ads consultant that can deliver on what they promise. I'll see you on the next project!
Social Media Marketing Review from Julie Vails
Exceptional service + support for what proved to be a tough service to market. Patient + knowledgeable, kept us informed at every step, capable of making intelligent decisions at turning points, diligent + thoughtful. Unmiffed by challenges and easily pivoted when we changed course. Awesome experience. I didn't have a clue on what I should be doing, but now I have a plan and a marketing starting point.

eCommerce Development Review from Undisclosed
We have been working with First Pier for almost 10 years now, beginning with the launch of our women’s boutique E-Commerce business. First Pier has been responsible for our e-commerce store design, web development, e-commerce SEO, digital strategy, online marketing campaigns and beyond ever since. As a already successful brick and mortar retailer, we saw an opportunity to reach beyond our existing customer bases in Portland, Maine & Portsmouth, New Hampshire by creating an online shopping experience accessible 24/7 and nationwide. First Pier has helped us turn that vision into reality by taking us from no online store and zero sales to a dependable thriving new channel for our business that continues to grow. Our experience with Shopify started when First Pier migrated our site from Magento to a Shopify website. Since First Pier is a designated Shopify Expert, we knew we could trust them with the daunting task of moving all of our products, accounts, and customer history to our new Shopify site. They made the transition to a new e-commerce system painless by ensuring our hands were held along the way, we were thoroughly trained, and none of the SEO ranking keywords were lost. We continue to work with First Pier on expanding our use of Google Shopping SEO and will be implementing Shopify’s Point of Sale in the coming year as part of a continued effort to deliver a unified customer experience at our stores. As a small women’s boutique based in Maine, we are now able to deliver our customer experience to tourist and seasonal customers where they are year round. We would recommend First Pier to anyone looking to build or update a Shopify store.
Shopify Review from Undisclosed
First Pier has been so helpful with the transition to shopify. After initially setting it up they provided us with great documentation on how to use the site and they've continued to support us through any issues that arise.
Shopify Review from Undisclosed
First Pier helped us move, update, and launch our online business on Shopify. As a high-traffic bakery, it was important to us that customers buying from around the country were able to view the quality of our products, feel the vibe of our Portland and South Portland shops, and trust that their order would be as special as a visit to our Maine bakery. First Pier delivered mouth-watering e-commerce product photography, an easy-to-use site, and supported us every step of the way. Our shoppable site is now optimized, accurately reflects our brand, and has poised us for growth.

Caroline Campbell's Review Sourced from Google
We recently moved over to Radiant after struggling to gain enough traction with our previous developers, and the difference has been night and day. The onboarding process was seamless – they uploaded all of our existing tasks straight into their platform, making the transition effortless. Their system makes communication incredibly easy, with tasks and chat all in one place, so nothing ever gets lost.Our account manager has been outstanding – proactive, full of ideas, and always willing to go the extra mile. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and we feel like we finally have a true partner invested in our success. The whole experience with Radiant has been smooth, professional, and genuinely refreshing. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A really great agency with super friendly staff. I've worked with Radiant for a few years and they're such a great bunch. If you're thinking of working with an agency, I definitely recommend speaking with Radiant! Hollie is also a fantastic account manager.

Petra Caporale's Review Sourced from Google
Hoping to receive a response and that you'll take immediate action (finally). There's been a scam circulating online for quite some time, pretending to be you! Be careful, because people who don't know what they're talking about will assume you're the scammers. If you give me an email address where I can write, I'll send you screenshots. Even a journalist mentioned it. How come you haven't noticed?
macitynet's Review Sourced from Google
It's a fantastic location, and when you walk in, you're amazed that so many people work in this think factory... then they show you the basement, the attic, and then the rooms and halls, and you're even more amazed.If I weren't a free animal, it would be the place I'd like to be "locked up.":-)

Headless CMS agencies help you design and implement a content platform and delivery stack that lets teams ship digital experiences faster, scale across channels, and integrate cleanly with your existing systems.
By decoupling the content platform from the front end, content teams can publish while developers ship front-end improvements on independent release cycles. In return, 69% of users report faster time-to-market and higher productivity.
With 98% of mobile app users expecting consistent UX and a 123% bounce rate for slow-loading mobile sites, headless CMS companies can help you deliver unified yet personalized user experiences. They achieve this by reusing structured content across touchpoints while maintaining centralized governance.
In fact, businesses switching to headless CMS report having 15% better UX and 14% improved performance.
With more localized and personalized user experiences, businesses are reporting higher conversion rates and ROI with their headless CMS systems. According to Gitnux, headless commerce adopters experience:
Moreover, IDC research found that omnichannel buyers spend 15%-20% more than those purchasing on a single channel.
The cost to build a digital solution with headless CMS architecture can range between $8,000 to over $500,000. The final billing will depend on scope, integrations, migration effort, number of channels, and build complexity.
Here are the hourly rates of headless CMS developers per region:
Based on these hourly rates, here are the approximate costs of each headless CMS project:
A headless CMS project can take 10-12 weeks for a small-scale project, like a multi-channel marketing website. However, more complex builds can take 12-20+ weeks, and enterprise replatforms can run 4-9 months.
The actual project timeline will depend on your project's complexity, core features and functions, integration and compliance requirements, and feedback loops. Here is an estimated timeline breakdown:
| Discovery and planning (2-4 weeks) | Stakeholder workshops to define business objectives, audiences, performance indicators, governance, and technical requirements. |
| Designing and prototyping (3-5 weeks) | Crafting the wireframes, architecture, design systems, and key components. |
| Content migration (2-10+ weeks, often in parallel with development) | Audit and migration plan, content cleanup, mapping, redirecting SEO, and validation. |
| Development and integration (4-8 weeks) | Content modeling, roles/permissions, environments, front-end build, and integrations (e.g., CRM and data analytics tools). |
| Testing and quality assurance (2-3 weeks) | Testing the website's performance, usability, accessibility, security, and reliability. |
| Launch (1-2 weeks) | Deploying the website to a live site and monitoring it for potential issues, so it can be resolved quickly. |

Headless CMS companies plan, implement, and operate a headless content management system (CMS), so teams can efficiently publish content across websites, apps, and other digital channels. Typical headless CMS development services include:
A headless CMS separates the content management backend from the frontend experiences. As such, content is delivered via APIs to any channel (websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices), so teams can reuse the same content across multiple experiences.
On the other hand, a traditional CMS has a unified back- and front-end (monolithic), meaning that there is a single interface that often comes in the form of a website. It can still power multiple channels, but doing so requires extensive tooling and customization.
Here are more details on their differences:
