Headless CMS

A Headless CMS is a content management system that delivers content exclusively through APIs — without a tightly coupled frontend. Editors manage texts, images, and data in a backend; developers retrieve content via API and display it on websites, apps, or digital displays. This decoupling enables maximum flexibility in technology and design.

Why does this matter?

For mid-sized businesses, a Headless CMS solves the dilemma between editorial freedom and technical performance. Marketing teams manage content independently while the website stays lightning-fast. Content can be served simultaneously to website, app, and newsletter — created once, used everywhere.

How IJONIS uses this

We use Headless CMS solutions like Sanity, Contentful, or Strapi — depending on budget and requirements. Content is delivered through Next.js as static pages or via ISR, enabling load times under one second. For simpler projects, we use Git-based content management with MDX.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Headless CMS and WordPress?
WordPress tightly couples backend and frontend — limiting performance and design freedom. A Headless CMS delivers only content via API. You freely choose the frontend: Next.js, React, mobile app, or any other technology. The result: faster pages, better security, and full design freedom.
Can our editors manage content without technical knowledge?
Yes. Modern Headless CMS platforms offer comfortable editorial interfaces with live preview, drag-and-drop, and media management. Sanity Studio, for example, can be customized exactly to your editorial workflows — intuitive like a text editor but with the power of a developer platform.
