Headless CMS website

A headless CMS website is a site where the content management system is separated from the site itself: the frontend (the “head”) is decoupled from the backend that stores content (the “body”). Content is stored and edited in a headless CMS (for example Strapi, Sanity, Directus) and delivered via API to a separate fast frontend — and to any other channel. For example, you keep your news and articles in one place, and they appear both on the site and in a mobile app — with no double work. Unlike a monolithic CMS (WordPress), where the site and content are one whole, here the public part is faster and more secure and the content is reused. For a simple site this is overkill; the approach pays off when speed, load, security or several channels at once matter. This service is for content sites; for an online store on the same architecture there is a separate service, “E-commerce on headless”. The price starts from 150,000 ₽ and depends on the content model, number of channels and integrations.

• A monolithic CMS (WordPress) site slows down and often breaks with updates and plugins.
• The same content is needed in several places — the site, an app — but is kept in different systems.
• Under load or attacks the site goes down: a public admin and database on one server are a vulnerability.
• You want a modern fast frontend, like an app, but with a convenient content editor for the team.

• Selecting and setting up a headless CMS (Strapi, Sanity, Directus or another to fit the task)
• Content model: material types, fields, relations — for your data
• A separate fast frontend (Next.js or React) with static generation or SSR
• An API between the CMS and the frontend: content delivered to any channel — site, app, other services
• A convenient admin for editors: they manage content without layout or code
• Performance and security: CDN, caching, an admin closed off from the public site — separation reduces the attack surface (the result depends on proper configuration)
• SEO foundation: SSR or prerender of key pages, clean URLs, meta, sitemap
• Deployment, domain connection, analytics and publishing

• A fast site with a modern frontend and a convenient content editor
• You enter a material once — and it appears on the site, in the app and other channels via API, with no duplicates
• Fewer vulnerabilities: the public part is separated from the admin and database
• The system scales for growth without a rewrite (the limits depend on load and the chosen technologies)

• You leave a request and describe the content and channels
• We design the content model and choose the CMS and frontend stack
• We develop, migrate content and publish

• How is headless better than a regular WordPress site?

  In a regular CMS the content and the site are one: convenient, but slower and more vulnerable, and hard to send content to an app. In headless the content lives separately and is delivered via API to any channel, while the frontend is fast and secure. For a simple business-card site it is overkill; headless pays off when speed, load or several channels matter.

• Will editors be able to manage content without a developer?

  Yes. A headless CMS gives a convenient admin: the team creates and edits materials themselves. We set up non-standard content types and fields at the start.

• Can content be migrated from the old site?

  Yes, we migrate materials into the new CMS model and set up redirects from old URLs so you do not lose search positions.
