Headless CMS
A content management system that exposes content via APIs, decoupled from presentation.
A headless CMS separates content storage and editing (the 'body') from content presentation (the 'head'), exposing content via REST or GraphQL APIs that any frontend can consume. Major headless CMS platforms include Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, Storyblok, Payload, and Hygraph. Headless architectures enable a single content repository to serve multiple frontends (web, mobile app, kiosk, voice) and grant developers freedom to choose modern frameworks like Next.js, Astro, or SvelteKit. Empire325 implements headless CMS architectures for content-heavy sites needing high performance, multi-channel publishing, and developer ergonomics.
