Client access to Nordcraft - EDIT MODE
Hey are there plans to support some editing mode for clients ? I โm moving away from webflow due to performance and lack of customizability issues . (I need SSR for my Pages ) For our customers it is always pleasing that they have full access to their pages to (on the fly ) change some things . Obvious Problem : for each customer im inviting im paying 34 USD - AND they have access to viewing other client projects and can obviously completely destroy their website . A simple edit mode for just images & text would be highly appreciated . Solution 2 : If there would be an API access to the pages we could als build this by ourselves and integrate this into our backend . This would also solve these kind of issues . Is there anything planned on the long / mid run ? Would be definitely a huge + for Nordcraft in terms of broad awareness . (Ppl would get to know Nordcraft more because more end users would directly access Nordcraft and get a glimpse of the great product ) - not just devs . That is not on our roadmap right now . But if they 're helping you out and adjusting content /text , isn 't it fair that they are on a paid seat ? Just to clarify , clients who are added to your organization don 't have access to all of your projects by default . Atm you will need to invite them to each project separately - mainly to avoid external users /consultants /testers from having edit access to all projects when they are invited . Ah okey that makes sense . I โm just asking because we โre transitioning clients from webflow to toddle and a bump from 14usd to 34 (I guess it โs 34 currently ) is a lot . Obviously we โre charging the client noch 14 usd but a lot of clients are self hosting on their own webflow account . It is definitively fair to share a buck to you guys . But in terms of value to the customer (value to the devs is absolutely INSANE ) a bump for our client from 20usd with translations to 34 + our external costs for translations is a bit salty . My idea was if it maybe possible to add editors for idk 10 15 bucks so pricing is for this scope compatible to f .e . Webflow . Maybe it โs also our customer base and a German thing that ppl have a HUGE problem with reoccurring monthly costs . Our customers are often pretty small - and therefore do not need 100k pages - 1 - 5 is generally the max . But in general : We have to still figure out how to use Nordcraft optimal for client work . We build a simple backend & image delivery and transform service to give each client the possibility to change images and collection items by himself . Just SIMPLE and clean . We do not need a huge backend like directus . Just image delivery , 1 or 2 collections (opening times , job posts , blog posts ) and the translation thing . This will all be in this single backend . Obviously without a visual editor for now but it โs all what they need on a regular basis . I do NOT want to undermine your Pricing strategy . ๐ just wanted to lead awareness to this . Because you can see this from different perspectives . And I know as a moderately new tech company you guys need to bump up pricing to deliver this awesome service . And I really appreciate all your work in making the experience and performance so good . The SSR out of this world . Hey ! Thank you for bringing this up . It sounds like the ideal solution in your case would be to use a CMS . I personally like DatoCMS but there are also open source options one the market . This would also be a much better editing experience for your customers if they are not so familiar with HTML .
