Demystifying headless CMSes with Virtual Identity
Blog post from Contentful
A headless CMS is a backend-only system that allows the presentation of content through multiple front-end delivery systems, enabling flexibility and autonomy in choosing front-end frameworks for presenting content on any device. This approach provides a more extensible and editable platform compared to traditional monolithic CMSes, which are designed with one purpose in mind: to send content to web pages. A headless CMS like Contentful offers capabilities for effective team orchestration, eliminating bottlenecks for non-technical users, and provides deeply custom workflows, making it worthwhile to switch from a legacy CMS. The platform also enables navigation through the site without getting lost, locating content, and previewing changes before publishing, while maintaining control over layout and presentation.
