Fast Experiences to Any Channel or Device.
Book a DemoSpeak to an Expert


WHAT IS A HEADLESS CMS

The term “headless” comes from the concept of separating the “head” of a CMS
with the body, with the two connected through APIs.

In essence, the head is the presentation layer, so typically the frontend
website templates, pages, and views, and the body is the backend content
repository.

A headless CMS is focused on storing and delivering structured content. It also
still allows content creators, marketers, and non-technical business users to
create and manage content through an administration interface.




HEADLESS VS TRADITIONAL CMS

While a headless CMS decouples the frontend and the backend, a traditional CMS
is monolithic, and essentially an all-in-one option. These CMSs are more rigid
in their architectural implementation, and quite often have a template-driven
frontend, meaning users can create and manage content without much technical
knowledge.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CMS

With the evolution of the internet came a rapidly growing adoption of and demand
for dynamic content. Quickly, static HTML pages of old were not enough, with
businesses requiring more leverage over their content.

Enter what we know now as monolithic CMS options. Popularized by the likes of
WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, monolithic CMSs are an all-in-one option where
the frontend and backend are delivered to the user in a tightly-coupled
framework.

As mobile exploded as a platform especially, and more and more content began to
be consumed on handheld devices, many CMS options were forced to adapt.

While you can now access installed and cloud-based options, and many now offer
different plugins, extensions and APIs, the increasing rise of numerous customer
touchpoints - omnichannel experiences - has forced a need for a different kind
of CMS. This is where headless CMS and more sophisticated MACH CMS architecture
comes into play.
