Frequently Asked Questions
A Headless CMS is a content management system where the content repository (the "body") is separated from the presentation layer (the "head"). It delivers content via an API to any device or channel. You should consider a headless CMS if you need to publish content to multiple platforms (e.g., website, mobile app, IoT devices) or if you want to use modern frontend frameworks like React or Vue for a faster, more dynamic user experience.
Project timelines vary based on complexity. A standard implementation of a platform like WordPress might take 4-8 weeks. A custom-built enterprise CMS or a complex headless implementation can range from 3 to 9 months or more. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial discovery and strategy phase.
