Headless CMS is the perfect answer for all who need unlimited flexibility for their presentation layer. Learn what’s headless CMS and how it can be helpful to you.
Headless CMS is a type of content management system.
Headless CMSs you use for creating, editing, archiving, publishing, and distributing content on your website. You write blog posts to inform your readers, photos, recipes, etc.
Classic CMS puts all the website content into one big bucket. To put it differently, the authoring, storing, and rendering content happens all in one place.
How’s headless CMS different?
At the same time, a headless CMS is an extension and a tightening of a classic CMS. The system takes in integral components to make it compatible with various outputs, applications, and platforms. This is possible because the front-end and backend of a headless CMS aren’t monolithically linked with each other anymore.
So basically, we are talking about decoupled CMS.
You also now have an explanation if you wondered how, it delivers the content. It provides an API (RESTful API) that can consume in any way you want. Web pages, iOS or Android apps, smartwatches and TVs, and even intelligent fridges can get content from the same API if you have one. You skip all those complex relationships between code and content.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE HEADLESS CMS?
Do you know what business owners, web developers, and authors have in common?
Believe it or not, sometimes they have plenty of similar problems regarding the web they own or work on.
This brings us to maybe the most crucial question:
HOW can they (hence you) benefit from it?
- Content creators, such as marketers, copywriters, editors, will experience significant improvements in their digital experience. Headless CMS is the only service that lets you create and store the content but doesn’t care about rendering.
- Developers, product owners, and other technical people benefit because headless CMS is built with an external API. That means complete control over the content for them and delivering the best possible solution for their clients. In other words, headless content is easier to navigate and manipulate.
- Large businesses that need a collaborative framework have the possibility of brainstorming, editing, and working together to final publication. Instead of endless back-and-forth emails or full Slack channels, everything about content is in one place, and everyone can see it.
- All who need to publish data to multiple channels now can do it more efficiently. For example, a project with an app, widget, and website pulling the same content can do it from the same platform. Since the content is apart from the backend, you have more control over integrating with the data.
Only by implementing headless CMS to your content, you can get:
- faster website loading time
- better SEO optimization,
- fast deployment time
LET’S COMPARE: HEADLESS VS. TRADITIONAL CMS
