Frequently Asked Questions

What is a headless CMS and how is it different from WordPress?
WordPress couples content management with presentation (the theme). A headless CMS manages content only, via APIs. Frontends can be built with any technology. This gives you flexibility: change frontends, add new channels, or use multiple frontends—all without losing content.
Which headless CMS should I choose: Contentful, Sanity, or Strapi?
Contentful is a hosted SaaS solution great for enterprises. Sanity offers a flexible studio and excellent DX. Strapi is open-source and self-hosted for maximum control. The choice depends on your team's preferences, budget, and infrastructure. We recommend based on your specific needs.
How do I deliver content from my headless CMS to multiple channels?
Your headless CMS provides APIs (REST or GraphQL) that any frontend can consume. You build separate frontends for your website, mobile app, email marketing, and other channels. All pull content from the same CMS via APIs.
Is a headless CMS more expensive than WordPress?
Headless CMS licensing can vary. Contentful has usage-based pricing. Strapi is free to self-host. Overall costs depend on your hosting, frontend complexity, and team. For complex multi-channel needs, headless CMS is often cheaper than maintaining multiple WordPress installations.
Can you migrate my WordPress site to a headless CMS?
Yes. We migrate content from WordPress to your headless CMS while preserving data structure. We then build a modern frontend (React, Next.js) to replace your WordPress theme. Zero downtime during the transition.
What are the performance benefits of headless CMS?
Headless CMS enables static site generation, resulting in dramatically faster load times. Content is pre-rendered and served via CDN. Decoupling also allows you to scale frontends independently from the CMS, improving reliability and performance under high traffic.
