A headless CMS separates the back-end part (or "the body"), from the front-end part (or "the head"). On the contrary, a traditional CMS ties these two together. Headless CMS keeps your content structured in a database, which can be showcased at multiple presentation channels, like a traditional website, a mobile app, and a wearable app. At the same time, developers have the flexibility to work with their favorite front-end frameworks and tools, making the website efficient and good-looking on all devices.
Is headless CMS the right choice for your project?
Choosing the right engine for your website or app is crucial for the long-term perspective. If you are seeking to create a website which will adjust to your business needs and grow with it in years to come, look no further than a headless CMS.
Large apps
If you plan to regularly grow your project, a headless CMS will help you keep it scalable and well-organized.
Need for top security
When seeking to build a secure app, consider using a headless solution, which protects stored data better than a classic CMS.
UX/UI flexiblity
Want to impress your customers with eye-catching design? A headless content mamangement system enables you to get creative and easily adjust the design on-the-go.
Simple to develop and maintain
If your project might be participated by multiple developers, and you want to ensure easy and fast onboarding, headless CMS will help you achieve that.
Headless CMS development from Netguru
Netguru Website Designers
Headless content management system (CMS) allows you to build an app where the interface is completely separated from the content repository, and integrated via APIs. Such a solution has numerous advantages over standard CMS. Some of them being: a seamless experience for all types of devices, super-fast loading time, and higher security levels. But what’s more important is the product’s flexibility from the development point of view. A headless CMS means a future-proof solution, which is scalable and easy for developers to work with.
Netguru developers with full-stack experience will build you a website or a platform which is flexible, secure, and user-friendly. We can either build the CMS completely from scratch or use one of the available premade solutions, thus lowering the cost and speeding up the development time.

Our cooperation with Netguru is a true partnership. Whenever we faced challenges this year, we could rely on Netguru for our urgent staffing needs and time-critical deliverables. The Netguru team has gone above and beyond any expectations of what a strong and reliable partner can be.
My experience of working with Netguru was absolutely excellent. Different software teams go through ups and downs, and good software teams are resilient. What makes the Netguru team succeed is being able to ride ups and downs as a team
As OLX Group experienced a significant increase in demand for design talent, we could count with Netguru to support us as a real extension of our in-house team. Their designers were embedded in our day to day, sharing the same commitment and focus to deliver impactful solutions to our customers. Beyond the great design work produced, they are really nice people to work with, which is equally important to build a long lasting partnership.
When to use a headless CMS
If your project is inflexible and you are losing time because of complicated development operations, or you are seeking to build a project from scratch, moving to headless CMS development might be the perfect solution. Netguru consultants can help you assess your current situation, identify potential benefits and threats, and decide on the right direction to take.
Lack of scalability
A traditional CMS might be a good choice for small businesses and projects. If you have aspirations to keep growing, make sure that your project is easy to manage and develop.
Difficult to integrate
You should be able to take advantage of various tools that will help you improve the project's performance and automate your team's work. A headless CMS makes it much easier to incorporate those.
Legacy technology
Headless CMS is a relatively new solution, which has gained popularity quickly due to its numerous advantages. Implementing it from scratch might be easier than trying to work around outdated code.
Bad UX / UI design
If your project has major design issues that make it hard to navigate, and your frontend makes it hard to change, designing UX and UI from the ground up with the help of headless CMS might be the best choice.
