Editing a website

Editing a website should not be this hard. Six things we hear, and what Nova does.

If you have ever opened the back of a website, hesitated and closed the tab, this part is for you. Turn a card to see the fix.

  • The problem

    What we do

    The layout is locked, so a change to text or an image cannot break the design. There are no themes to choose and no plugins to update.

    What we do

    One word in the headline, a price on the services page, a new phone number in the footer: click it, type it, publish. No email to an agency and no waiting.

    What we do

    Pick a new file and Nova resizes, recompresses and strips the metadata for you. There is no photo editor to open and no file size to worry about.

    What we do

    We host every site and keep it secure and backed up. SSL is automatic and backups run nightly, so there is no panel for you to log into.

What it is

What is Nova CMS?

Nova CMS, sometimes written NovaCMS, is the content management system built into every website DPOM hosts or builds. You log in, open a page and change it where it sits.

More detail

Nova is our own CMS. It is made for the websites DPOM builds, so there are no plugins, no themes and nothing to learn beyond clicking and typing. Your text, images, menus, blog posts and SEO details are all editable, and the layout stays locked.

What it costs

Nova is included with every DPOM website.

If DPOM hosts or builds your website, Nova comes with it. Rent a website from £49 a month + VAT, or ask us for a quote on a custom build.

More detail

For a custom build we quote a one-off set-up fee, then a monthly fee that covers hosting, security and editing by you. You can clone an existing site or build a new one from scratch, with unlimited pages, blog posts and team logins.

Price a rented website or call us and we will quote the same day.

Nova FAQs

Nova, answered.

Moving and starting

Can you move my existing WordPress site over?

Yes. We mirror your current site, clean it up and import it into Nova. The result has the same look and content, rebuilt as fast static HTML that you can edit yourself. Most rebuilds take two working days.

What if I want a brand new site instead?

We can design and build a new site for you in HTML, then import it into Nova so you can manage it from day one. The price depends on the size of the build, so it is worth a quick call, or you can price a rented website yourself.

Can I keep my own domain?

Yes. You point your domain at our hosting and the site loads from your own web address, not ours. While we set it up the site sits on a preview address so you can test it before the domain is switched over.

What happens to my SEO?

Page addresses stay the same when we move a site. We carry over your meta titles, descriptions, canonical tags and any redirects, and you can edit all of them in Nova.

Using Nova

Do my staff need to know HTML?

No. If they can use Microsoft Word, they can use Nova. You open the page, click the bit you want to change, type the new text and click publish. There are no settings panels or template files to learn.

How many people can have a login?

As many as you need at no extra cost. Nova has no per-seat pricing. Add your whole team if it helps, and remove access in seconds if someone leaves.

Can I add a blog?

Yes. Nova has a built-in block-based blog editor with headings, paragraphs, images, buttons, columns, galleries and FAQ blocks. Posts use your site's header and footer so they always match the rest of the site.

What about forms and bookings?

Contact forms route into your inbox, our CRM, or a third party like Formspree. For more complex forms or bookings, tell us what you need and we will build it in.
