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.

Lenka Nekvasilova's Review Sourced from Google
I have had a logo made by Helena. I wasn't really sure what I wanted it to look like, but after a few questions about my business, Helena came up with a perfect starting picture. After that we just adjusted smaller details as requested. Helena really showed her experience, sensitivity for colours and feel for the topic. I'm very happy with the final result and I can only recommend this company.Helena offered to do a logo for my business. I wasn't really sure what exactly I wanted, but thanks to questions about my company, what was important to me Apps came up with a great design. Then we just fine-tuned the details. Helena showed great experience, a sense for colours and the overall design. I'm very happy with the result and I can only recommend her services. Thank you very much

Super Mrs's Review Sourced from Google
I hired 1Up to do some analytical work on a a large volume of complex data. Mark came highly recommended for his ability to cut through information, identify patterns, and present data in a way that tells a story. I briefed Mark on what I believed the data would show, and I left the rest to him. The report he produced was outstanding. The data was presented in a coherent, chronological order, with insightful charts, visually demonstrating each point that emerged through his analysis. This made key issues incredibly clear and undeniable. Mark suggested further data that would be useful and made other observations that were compelling. External case studies were referenced, and research was included that was beyond the realm of my brief. Needless to say, the report Mark produced exceeded expectations on all levels and is going to be a game changer. I will be looking forward to working with 1Up again in the near future. Thank you very much! I can’t recommend Mark and 1Up enough!

1UP BRAND completely transformed my online presence. The new website Mark built for my taxi business is absolutely beautiful and nothing like the generic templates you see everywhere else. It really helps me stand out from the competition and shows that my service is more than just another taxi company.The support afterwards has been exceptional. They’ve gone above and beyond with updates, SEO, Google setup and making sure everything works perfectly. I’ve never experienced this level of care from a web designer before.Highly recommended - truly next-level service and craftsmanship.
joel bailey's Review Sourced from Google
Mark is by far the best branding and design partner you could ever work with! We started working together around 7 weeks ago and it’s been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first call, he understood my business, the goals, and the direction, and the branding he created completely blew me away. His support has been second to none.He’s a genuine guy with vast experience, and I’ve leaned on him for advice even beyond the original scope of work. We’ve built a real connection, and our collaboration has been seamless from the start. Thanks to his creativity, we now have a super strong brand identity and a clear vision for the next steps.What I value most is his honesty and straight-talking approach. He makes me feel in control, validates big decisions, but also isn’t afraid to say when something doesn’t look right. He’s stepped in to take the lead whenever I wasn’t available, always delivering detailed updates and showing real commitment and enthusiasm.On top of that, he’s seriously versatile. What began as branding and content has grown into him also building the website front end, and he’s delivered on all fronts. Nothing is too much trouble, and his support has been outstanding. I couldn’t recommend him more highly! I will continue using 1UP Brand for the foreseeable future.

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:

Based on our research, here are some of the most common headless CMS platforms that developers use:
While these are the most common platforms, reputable headless CMS companies will recommend a tech stack that best matches your goals, technical requirements, existing systems, operating models, team capabilities, and target audiences.
Many organizations benefit the most from a headless CMS when they need to publish content to multiple digital channels, scale across regions, or build custom experiences without being constrained by a single website template system. Common scenarios include:
