The text discusses headless CMS platforms, specifically Strapi, and their application in building flexible and scalable event websites. A headless approach decouples the backend from the frontend, allowing developers to model complex relationships between events, speakers, sessions, and attendees, and support role-based access across the frontend. The key benefits of using a headless CMS for event websites include delivering content across multiple channels from one source of truth, scaling efficiently during traffic spikes, reducing risk by separating backend data from the public interface, building custom experiences using preferred frontend tools, and minimizing vulnerabilities with best practices such as HTTPS, encryption, and access control. The text also outlines the steps to build an event management website with Strapi, including choosing a tech stack, setting up the CMS, modeling content types, defining user roles, building the frontend, integrating third-party services, securing the platform, optimizing for performance, and deploying the platform.
