FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Question

What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS separates content management from content presentation. You manage content in a backend system, and it's delivered via API to any frontend. This provides more flexibility than traditional CMS platforms.

Frequently Asked Question

Should I use a headless CMS or traditional WordPress?

Headless CMS is ideal for multi-channel content delivery, high-performance requirements, and modern frontend frameworks. Traditional WordPress is better for simpler sites where editors need WYSIWYG editing. We will recommend the best fit.

Frequently Asked Question

Which headless CMS do you recommend?

It depends on your needs: Strapi for open-source flexibility, Sanity for real-time collaboration, Contentful for enterprise scale, and Payload for TypeScript-first development.

Frequently Asked Question

Can you migrate our content from WordPress to a headless CMS?

Yes, we specialize in content migrations. We extract your WordPress content, transform it to fit the new content model, and import it into your chosen headless CMS while preserving SEO and URL structures.

Frequently Asked Question

How do editors preview content before publishing?

We implement preview functionality that lets editors see exactly how content will look on the live site before publishing, including draft previews, staged content, and visual editing where supported.

Frequently Asked Question

Can headless CMS work with e-commerce?

Yes. We integrate headless CMS with e-commerce platforms like Shopify Hydrogen, BigCommerce, or Commerce.js. You get unified content and product management with excellent frontend performance.
