Headless CMS
With the advent of multiple devices over the last decade, the way content is consumed has changed significantly. We consume content anywhere and everywhere. We have screens on our wrist, in our cars, fridge, TV, billboards, kiosks, aeroplane seats, even glasses, and not to mention our computers and smart phones. Therefore, the way we store content has also evolved. Thus, like most of the technological innovations in the world, the next-gen Headless CMS has also been developed out of requirement, that could not be met with the traditional monolithic CMS.
Many industries and businesses have already adopted Headless CMS Solution to power their digital presence across all devices and channels. Apparently, adopting Headless CMS have also allowed these companies to connect with their customers at a much larger scale, with more efficiency.
What is Headless CMS?
A Headless CMS is a backend-only content management system where the content is stored separately from where it is presented. Without a built-in frontend or presentation layer, the content is made accessible via an API for display on any device. The term 'headless' is derived from the concept of chopping the 'head' (i.e. front end) off the 'body' (i.e. back end).
How does A Headless CMS Work
The main task of a Headless CMS is to store and manage the content. Content stored in Headless CMS is delivered via APIs, the connection points that allow the backend system (in this case headless CMS) and frontend systems (e.g., website) to communicate. The APIs used for communicating, do not connect to a default frontend, rather, they can be accessed through HTTP requests, which can be made from any programming language, platform, or device that supports HTTP. This results in a seamless dissemination of content across any site, device, or any other digital touchpoint.
Benefits of Headless CMS
With Headless CMS solution the developers are allowed to customize the presentation layer, and use any front-end tool they want to display content. Also, they can deliver the content beyond websites and apps, reaching any channel from kiosks to smartwatches and even virtual reality headsets.
Let us acquaint ourselves with the plethora of advantages that can be realised by embracing Headless CMS solutions.
Instant omnichannel disperse of content
With Headless CMS solution the developers are allowed to customize the presentation layer, and use any front-end tool they want to display content. Also, they can deliver the content beyond websites and apps, reaching any channel from kiosks to smartwatches and even virtual reality headsets.
Ease of use for developers
Contrary to traditional CMSes, where developers have limited flexibility and freedom to choose the technology and frameworks, Headless CMSes allow developers to choose the front-end tools they are most comfortable with, without having to worry about integrating with the backend. Thus, experiencing optimum ease of use while writing codes.
Future Ready
As content is served API-first, Headless CMSes are more adaptable to new technologies.
Makes site more secure
The decoupling of backend and frontend improves the security of the site, as it will still be difficult for threat actors or hackers to get access through backend, irrespective of if they break through the security system of frontend. Thus, compartmentalization ensures more security than a tightly coupled backend and frontend.
Fast frontends with Headless CMS
Owing to the decoupled nature of Headless CMS where content is served through APIs, Static Site Generators pair well with Headless CMS, and thus the frontend loads faster than their counterparts.
More tolerance towards error
The fact that frontend and backend have minimum contact with each other, this makes them both more fault-tolerant when problems occur in the other domain.
Cater to large scale of audience
With Headless CMS being able to deliver content seamlessly across many devices and platforms, they have a wider audience reach, thus providing an edge over competition by reaching more people and engaging them at an optimum level.
Scalability & Adaptability
With the constant upgradation in technology sector, where businesses have to constantly scale up and innovate themselves, Headless CMS with their easy to integrate any emerging technology, prepares the business for future growth.
Flexibility to integrate with other systems
With headless CMS, content can be pushed to any presentation layer, thus providing flexibility to connect to any frontend framework. This in turn helps to pull in data from additional systems, thus reducing the effort to migrate to new frontend or backend.
Makes businesses more profitable
Headless CMS allows Development Team and Content Editing or Marketing Team to work simultaneously without making them dependent on each other. This reduces the overall timespan of a project, which in turn allows the business to ensure profitability.
