Common Questions
What types of sites can I build with GoLive CMS?
GoLive CMS is designed for any type of website — business sites, blogs, portfolios, e-commerce storefronts, and more. The flexible block editor and section system let you build virtually any page layout without writing code.
How long does it take to set up a new site?
Most sites can be set up in under an hour. Create your site, choose your sections, add your content through the visual editor, and publish. If you need custom design or development, our team can help with that too.
Can I manage multiple sites from one dashboard?
Yes! GoLive CMS supports multi-site management out of the box. Switch between sites, manage team permissions per site, and share media assets across your portfolio — all from a single admin dashboard.
Do you offer API access for headless CMS usage?
Absolutely. Every piece of content is available through our REST API with API key authentication. Use GoLive CMS as a headless backend for Next.js, React, Vue, or any other frontend framework.
What kind of support is included?
All plans include documentation, community support, and email support. Premium plans include priority response times, dedicated onboarding, and direct access to our engineering team for technical questions.
