Yes, pages are also created, if needed.
In a nutshell process is as follows:
1. Customer asks for a new functionality, which can be a part of existing pages/plugins or it can be some seaparte branch of a website.
2. Functionality is created on a dev system and is shown from time to time to the customder.
3. At the end it is deployed to staging system (code only, content is put by hand), where customer adjusts content to his needs.
4. As a last step deploy to a live system (code+content) is made

That would be perfect scenario. Can you recommend such a nextension? I can't find some in ER...

I've got same result, which ended up in this topic :)

Thank you.
