Wrap your head around headless
What can a hybrid headless approach do for you?
Separate in your mind the back end of your CMS, the bit where the content management takes place, from the front end, the bit your customers see, aka the presentation or “head” of your website. A headless CMS is that back end piece only. It acts as a repository for your content and allows developers to access this content and display it on any device using APIs. With a headless CMS there is no built-in front end, or presentation layer. There is no ‘head’, hence the term ‘headless’. In fact, there isn’t even a user interface for content management. All these things have to be created and configured from scratch by your developers. This gives you flexibility, but it's also a lot of work and takes a while to deploy.
Our hybrid headless approach combines the freedom and flexibility of a headless architecture, with our much loved back end user interface (CoreMedia Studio) and the out-of-the-box content management you expect from a great CMS. It allows your teams to get up and running with content management and site creation quickly. They can use the content management features of a traditional CMS, without compromising the flexibility developers need to customize the tech to meet the current and future needs of your business.
In a traditional CMS there’s a tight relationship between the front end (how your end-user experiences your website) and the back end (your content creation, management and storage). Ever needed a new landing page template and had to wait to get one developed? That’s what happens when your content is so closely linked to a specific template, design or layout. With a traditional CMS there's a tight structure and set of features clearly defined. With this rigidity come limitations, and it's not anywhere near as easy for developers to create new integrations, or adapt to new channels and technologies. Our hybrid headless CMS frees you from the frustration of a traditional CMS, while at the same time offering much more structure and definition to out-of-the-box features than a full headless CMS.
Hybrid headless sits in the sweet spot between full stack and headless, giving you the instant impact of a full-stack traditional CMS together with the development flexibility of headless architecture. You can combine exceptional content management capability out-of-the-box, with a composable architecture that gives freedom and flexibility to innovate when you need to. Fully accessible code means developers have the freedom to make our CMS their own. Devs can use APIs to easily connect marketing tools and configure new ways to deliver your content to devices and channels. At the same time our content management engine is available to your marketing teams so they can be up and running quickly.
