HEADLESS CMS

Traditional CMS platforms force you to choose between editor experience and frontend performance. Headless CMS eliminates this trade-off by separating content management from content presentation. Your marketing team gets a familiar editing interface while your website runs on modern, blazing-fast frontend technology.

We implement headless CMS solutions using Payload CMS as our primary platform, with Strapi and Sanity as alternatives depending on your requirements. Payload CMS is our top recommendation because it is built with TypeScript, self-hosted for full data control, and infinitely customisable. For European businesses concerned about data sovereignty, self-hosting means your content data stays within the EU.

The content modelling phase is critical. We design your content types, fields, and relationships to match how your team thinks about content. Blog posts, case studies, team members, services, FAQ sections — each content type gets a tailored editing experience with validation, preview, and publishing workflows. Rich text editors support embedding images, videos, and custom components.

On the frontend, content is fetched via API and rendered with React or Next.js. Static generation means content changes are reflected on your website within seconds of publishing while serving pre-built HTML for maximum performance. We implement preview modes so editors can see exactly how content will look before publishing.

Multilingual content management is built into every headless CMS setup. Editors can manage content in English, French, Dutch, and German from a single interface with proper locale fallbacks and translation workflows. The frontend automatically routes users to the correct language based on URL structure and browser preferences.

Access control ensures the right people can edit the right content. Editors manage blog posts, administrators control settings, and developers handle templates. Audit trails track every change, and version history allows rolling back to any previous state. Media management includes image optimisation, focal point selection, and responsive image generation.
