Headless CMS

A headless CMS stores and manages content but has no built-in website. Content is delivered through an API to any front end: a website, a mobile app, a kiosk or a smart display. Popular options include Strapi, Sanity, Contentful and WordPress used headlessly.

How we use Headless CMS

• Choosing the right headless CMS for your team, budget and hosting preferences.
• Modelling content types so editors fill in structured fields rather than free-form pages.
• Building websites and apps that read content from the CMS API with caching for speed.
• Migrating content from older systems into a structured headless setup.

When Headless CMS is the right choice

A headless CMS is ideal when the same content must appear on several channels, or when developers need full freedom over the front end. If you only need one website that your team edits, a traditional CMS like WordPress is usually easier to run.

Frequently asked questions

Which headless CMS do you recommend?

It depends on your team and budget. Strapi is self-hosted and open source, Sanity and Contentful are managed services with strong editing tools, and headless WordPress suits teams that already know WordPress.

Is a headless CMS harder for editors?

Not necessarily. Editors work with clearly labelled fields instead of page layouts. We design the content model and editing screens around how your team actually works and provide training.
