Headless or traditional CMS: which fits best?
A traditional CMS such as WordPress keeps content and presentation tightly coupled. It is easy to get started with, but it can limit performance, flexibility and security as your requirements grow.
A headless CMS such as Sanity, Contentful or Strapi delivers content through an API, and the frontend is built separately in a framework such as Next.js. That gives you full control of performance, design and user experience.
For a simple site that rarely changes, a traditional CMS works fine. For a business that plans to grow, we often recommend a headless setup: the pages are faster, which helps SEO, and the same content can be published to the website, an app and other channels from one place. That matters most for online stores and B2B companies with a lot of content.
