Headless Drupal - oh no!!

What is Headless Architecture?

Headless architecture within a content management system (CMS) decouples the frontend (presentation and publishing) from the backend (content database).  By doing so, Drupal is able to offer greater flexibility and content delivery innovation. It also increases development time.  According to  Adriana Alarcón,  enterprises can see a 30% boost in developers' productivity and a 35% increase in user engagement through personalized content strategies.

To grasp the concept of a headless CMS, it's essential to first understand traditional CMS. In a traditional CMS, the presentation layer is tightly coupled with the content management layer, which simplifies content deployment on websites but often limits customization, performance improvements, and the user experience.

A headless CMS, however, decouples content management from content presentation. By separating the backend (where content is managed) from the frontend (how content is presented) and connecting them via an API, it offers more flexibility and a personalized experience across different content platforms.

Is Drupal right for you?

Drupal stands out as a powerful and reliable choice when considering a headless CMS solution for your business. Its robust content management capabilities, extensive integration possibilities, API-first approach, scalability, and supportive community empower businesses to deliver exceptional digital experiences across multiple channels. By leveraging Drupal as your headless CMS, you can benefit from its flexibility, scalability, and industry-leading features, ensuring seamless content delivery and a future-proof digital presence.
