Headless CMS.

How is Headless different from traditional CMS?

A traditional CMS system consists of two layers. A backend and a frontend. The two layers are interdependent and do not work alone.

On the other hand, a Headless CMS system separates the two layers from each other so that the same backend can be used on several different frontends. In this way, it is possible to design different frontends for different platforms where they are all connected to the same backend.

Hereby, a Headless CMS system is where you store, update and delete content. But the content itself will not be published anywhere unless it is connected to a frontend that you design for the platforms and channels you want it to be adapted and presented.

Why you should go headless

There are several benefits when choosing a headless approach for your CMS and commerce platform. Going from a monolith to a composable architecture e-commerce platform could be a game-changer for your business. Why? You get the answer to this and a peek into how it can be implemented in these videos.

3 benefits of Headless

1. Flexible and tailored customer experiences

The CMS architecture gives you great flexibility and creativity to test new technologies and make you more competitive. A Headless CMS system makes it easy to reuse content across multiple channels. At the same time, you can offer precise and well-thought-out customer experiences specially developed for each channel.

2. Fast Time to Market

When the frontend and backend are separated from each other, controlled by an API, the work for the development team becomes a lot easier. Instead of working with several layers in the architecture and the backend code, you work flexibly with the front end and can ensure simple processes and test new channels without difficulty.

3. Future security for all channels

Along with the development of technology, new channels are constantly emerging. Therefore, it is no longer enough to have a website that runs optimally. One should, on the other hand, be available on several channels. There will be a growing need to integrate into marketplaces like eBay and Amazon or allow your customers to buy via smartwatch or voice commerce. With a Headless CMS system, you can secure these options right now and have content on all channels.

Is Headless something for you?

A Headless CMS system sounds excellent, but it is not always the optimal solution for your business. Getting the full potential out of a Headless CMS system can be cumbersome and complicated. You should therefore ask yourself what your needs are. Is it necessary to separate the back end from the front end, or can your solution work and achieve the same value another way?
