How To Use Headless CMS In Development

[moonchild]

Headless CMS do all of the work of the backend for you and let's you handle the frontend, with a headless cms you do not worry about maintaining the backend, you can then use modern technology to scale your frontend like ReactJS and NextJs, you can think of it like wordpress but with options to choose what you will put on the frontend, some of the popular headless CMS are:

1 Sanity.io
2 Prismic.io
3 Eleventy

Setting up this cms is not hard at all, it starts with visiting the websites and then registering an account, then you go ahead and get your API keys this is the most important part, then you launch your frontend client for example let's say you are using react, you go to react and you can then to the CRUD operation using your API keys, which is create, read, update and delete, they have an amazing SEO features that can boost your website ranking easily.

What I like about these technologies is, they make managing your articles or contents easy by giving your options to alter them however you want, even wordpress are getting up to speed with headless, but the above are the most common with exciting features.

A headless CMS manages content separately from the front-end presentation. To implement one, first choose a platform like Contentful or Strapi to manage your content API. Build your front-end site separately using a framework like React or Vue that fetches content from the API. The headless CMS never renders web pages itself. Instead, your front-end app requests content as JSON data, then uses it to dynamically render pages. This decoupled approach provides more flexibility compared to traditional CMSes. You can reuse content across devices, try new front-end technologies easily, and scale the CMS and site independently.
