FAQs
What does "headless" mean in the context of digital platforms?
Headless architecture separates the content repository (backend) from the presentation layer (frontend). Content is accessed via an API, allowing developers to use any technology stack to build the user interface.
What are the primary advantages of switching to a headless approach?
Key benefits include enhanced flexibility, faster development cycles, improved performance, robust security, easier omnichannel content delivery, and the freedom to choose the best frontend technologies for each specific use case.
Who should consider implementing a headless architecture?
Headless is suitable for businesses of all sizes looking for greater agility, scalability, and the ability to deliver consistent digital experiences across multiple channels (web, mobile apps, IoT, etc.).
How does a headless system differ from a traditional content management system?
A traditional CMS typically couples the backend and frontend tightly. A headless system provides content purely via an API, giving developers complete control over the presentation layer and allowing for much greater customization and flexibility.
