Definition of CMS and traditional operation
Le CMS headless
How does it work?
The advantages of headless
- A CMS that allows you to have as many front ends as you want for a single data management system! This operation makes it possible to have a single data management system for several channels: the same content is compatible with multiple existing channels (website, mobile application, connected objects).
- The headless CMS offers more flexibility and therefore more freedom in project management.
- It allows you to make display modifications without having to modify the back office.
A main disadvantage
Why choose a headless CMS?
- This system is particularly interesting if you want to offer the same content on different media, since it will simplify the process. In fact, a single development will be enough to adapt to different media.
- It is also quite advantageous for simplifying the development of mobile applications. In fact, no need to develop your application twice for each platform (iOS and Android) since the content and data will be on the same server.
- In the same way, this technology adapts particularly well to the deployment of Progessive Web Apps. Learn more about PWA.
- It is a device that also seems quite relevant with JavaScrip technologies such as React, Vue.js, Angular.
- Finally, you might want to favor this type of interface if you are looking for flexibility in the development of your support.
