Your Agency for Headless CMS

Headless architectures offer great advantages. Thanks to the decoupling of the backend and frontend, headless architectures enable the best user experience and seamless integration of various data providers and peripheral systems. Different frontends can be connected to the same backend, simplifying data management and offering openness to future new channels.

Our team of experienced headless architects and consultants has successfully implemented numerous projects with decoupled, multi-layered architectures in recent years. We are happy to share this expertise with you.

Advantages of Headless

  • Frontend User Experience

    The user experience in the frontend feels more modern and faster. Since only the content is loaded and not the entire page, an intuitive and smooth user experience is thus created.

  • Full Control

    Developers have full control over the frontend structure as they are independent of the backend.

  • Platform Independence

    The frontend is independent of the backend. This allows different data providers – besides the CMS, for example, and also a CRM – to connect directly to the frontend. At the same time, multiple independent frontends can connect to a headless backend.

  • Optimized Development Processes

    Frontend and backend teams can work independently, allowing for parallel development cycles and increased efficiency.

  • Faster Load Times

    By separating the frontend and backend, content can be delivered to end users more efficiently and quickly.

What is Headless?

Headless content management systems and decoupled architectures are a significant trend. Rightly so, because by separating the frontend and backend, users enjoy a seamless user experience even when data is distributed across multiple peripheral systems. This is especially advantageous in complex projects with a diverse system landscape and websites that pull data simultaneously from various systems such as a CMS, CRM system, and other peripheral systems.
