About Headless CMS Sites
Headless CMS Sites offer a modern solution to content-rich sites that separates the component library, styling, and logic of the site from the site content. This solution offers the best of both worlds:
- Engineers are happy because they maintain control of the codebase, versioning, and deployments without needing to worry about content updates.
- Content creators and authors are happy because they can upload new content and modify existing content with confidence, knowing it will maintain consistency with existing content on the site and that none of their changes can “break” the site.
- Healthcare providers are a great example with several content categories to manage including providers, locations, news articles, blog posts, videos, and sometimes even podcasts.
- Many mid-to-large size businesses maintain their own blog as part of an organic SEO strategy. Separation of concerns between site build and content helps their authors freely post new content without fear of regression on the production site.
- Even ecommerce sites can benefit from a Headless CMS approach. It provides a similar content management experience to Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, WooCommerce, and the rest while offering much more flexibility on the site build compared to those more rigid platforms.
