What is a headless CMS?
A headless CMS is a backend-only content repository that delivers content as data via an API. It lacks a built-in frontend, allowing you to use any framework (like Next.js) to display content across multiple channels.

Why choose headless over WordPress?
Headless provides better performance, omnichannel delivery (Web, Mobile, IoT), and eliminates the security/plugin maintenance burden of WordPress.
Which platform is best Contentful or Sanity?
Contentful is best for enterprise governance and localization. Sanity is best for highly custom content models and developer flexibility. We recommend based on your audit results.
How does it connect to Next.js?
Next.js fetches data from the CMS API at build time (SSG) or request time (ISR/SSR). Webhooks trigger near-instant revalidation when content is published.
Does it affect SEO?
Yes, positively. Headless sites are typically much faster (Core Web Vitals) and provide full control over structured data and metadata, which improves rankings.
Do editors need to be technical?
No. Editors use a user-friendly admin dashboard similar to WordPress but with structured fields that prevent them from accidentally breaking page layouts.
