Headless

Headless CMS for publishers: headless and static explained. When a headless CMS or static site suits a publisher, how editorial preview and workflow change, and what it costs to run.

A headless CMS stores and manages content but leaves the website itself to separate code. A static site generator builds every page in advance. Both can make a publication faster and more flexible, and both move work from the CMS to developers. This section explains the trade-offs for newsrooms: editorial preview, scheduling, search and the real cost of the extra moving parts.
