What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS is a content system decoupled from the website itself. Your text, images and pages live in a separate, editor-friendly environment and are delivered to the site through an API. The benefit: editors work in a visual preview, developers keep full control over design and performance, and the same content can later feed an app, kiosk or AI assistant. The points below are illustrative; the actual setup differs per organisation.

  • Separate editing environmentcontent is managed outside the code, with no risk of breaking the design
  • Realtime visual previeweditors see exactly how a page looks before publishing
  • API-first deliverythe same content powers website, app or AI assistant
  • Roles and workflowdrafts, revisions and approval per editor or team
  • Multilingual contenttranslations managed side by side in one structure
  • No vendor lock-inyour content model and exports stay yours, independent of the vendor
