Honcho + Craft CMS FAQs

What is Craft CMS, and why do you recommend it?

Craft CMS is a flexible, fast, and secure content management system built for custom websites. We recommend it because it gives you full control over your site — without the bloat or limitations of platforms like WordPress.

Is Honcho a certified Craft CMS partner?

Yes — we’re a Craft CMS Partner agency. We’ve delivered 100+ Craft projects and are actively involved in the Craft community.

What types of Craft CMS projects do you work on?

We specialise in custom marketing websites, multisite setups, member-only portals, multilingual builds, and advanced functionality like custom plugins or complex integrations.

Can you take over an existing Craft CMS site?

Absolutely. Whether your previous agency has disappeared or you’re just not getting results, we regularly rescue and improve existing Craft CMS sites.

Do you offer support and maintenance?

Yes. We offer ongoing support retainers, monthly maintenance, and upgrade packages to keep your Craft site fast, secure, and performing.

How much do Craft CMS projects typically cost?

Our pricing depends on the complexity of your site and goals, but we’re always transparent. After an initial discovery call, we’ll give you a tailored proposal with clear phases and deliverables.

Though generally speaking, the majority of our full end-to-end Craft CMS projects (including strategy, UX, UI) sit between £40k and £150k. And "rescue projects" typically start at £5k to onboard them into our ecosystem before any new features or functionality can take place.

Will we be able to edit the site ourselves?

Yes. One of Craft CMS’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. We build editable, intuitive content blocks so your marketing team can update pages without dev help.

Can you help improve site speed or SEO?

Definitely. Performance and SEO best practices are built into every Craft CMS project we deliver. We also offer audits and upgrades for existing sites.

What happens after launch?

We don’t disappear. We offer long-term support, performance monitoring, and can evolve your site as your business grows.

Can you host our Craft CMS website?

Yes. We offer finely tuned, high-performance hosting environments optimised specifically for Craft CMS.
