Headless CMS Development

A headless CMS separates where content is edited from where it is displayed. Anekant Tech sets up and customises headless CMS platforms so your marketing team can create, preview and schedule content on their own, while your website and apps pull that content through a fast, secure API.

Frequently asked questions

What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS is a content management system that stores and manages content but has no built-in website theme. Your website, mobile app or any other channel fetches the content through an API and decides how to display it.

Is a headless CMS better than WordPress?

Not always. Traditional WordPress is fine for simple sites; headless pays off when you need speed, design freedom, several channels or stronger security. See Headless CMS vs WordPress for a full comparison.

Can editors still preview pages before publishing?

Yes. We configure live or draft preview so editors see exactly how a page will look on the real site before it goes live.

Which headless CMS do you recommend?

Sanity suits highly customised editorial experiences, Strapi and Payload suit teams that want an open-source CMS they host themselves, and Contentful suits larger organisations wanting a managed enterprise product. We recommend one after understanding your team and budget.

Will moving to a headless CMS hurt SEO?

Done properly it usually helps, because pages load faster. We preserve URLs or add 301 redirects, keep metadata and structured data, and generate sitemaps automatically.
