A Headless Content Management System, or simply Headless CMS, is a content management system without a head, that is, without front-end presentation components . In effect, by removing the presentation layer, this type of CMS can deliver content not only to a channel like a desktop website , for example, but also to smartphones , smartwatches , industrial devices, smart refrigerators , social networks, kiosks, and much more, all from an application programming interface ( API ). In this article, you will learn about the advantages of a Headless CMS.
A Headless CMS is therefore different from a Monolithic CMS. In the case of the Monolithic CMS, the content is linked to a single channel. Meanwhile, a Headless CMS is ideal for e-commerce businesses like yours to deliver personalized content across multiple channels and unify the shopping experience. This can certainly help optimize communication at all stages of the Customer Journey and thus increase lead capture and customer generation.
MORE ADVANTAGES OF THE HEADLESS CMS
A Headless CMS can provide countless advantages for your business. Through this system, the retailer can, for example:
- Make the reuse of content flexible across multiple communication and sales channels;
- Optimize the loading time of your online store desktop with e screen and thus generate more sales;
- Reduce advertising costs, as pages load faster, reduce dropouts and improve ROI;
- Improve consumer experience through the implementation of ready-made, previously tested functionalities and components;
- Optimize the experience omnichannel through the distribution of advertising content across different channels;
- Connect with various e-commerce platforms and, thus, facilitate migration when necessary;
- Facilitate the creation of new virtual stores and new features in existing online stores;
- Structure and restructure content according to demand.
As you can see, a Headless CMS can help you truly boost your unified commerce. With this feature, you'll have much more ease in distributing your content and delighting consumers across different commerce channels and platforms.
HEADLESS CMS EXAMPLE
One of the best examples of a headless CMS today is deco.cx , which excels at creating ultra-fast storefronts and product pages for online stores. This CMS delivers pages with scores above 90 on PageSpeed Insights , on a scale from 0 (poor) to 100 (excellent). Furthermore, it features testing and analytics tools in the best Digital Experience Platform (DXP) style.
To give you an idea of the potential of deco.cx, Agência e-Plus rebuilt Lojas Torra with this CMS and the final result was very impressive. Previously, the store took 11 seconds to load, giving it a score of 27 on PageSpeed Insights. Soon after the redesign with deco.cx, Lojas Torra started to load in just 2 seconds, achieving a score of 94 on PageSpeed. This generated an increase in sales for the company.
It didn't take long for Lojas Torra to be considered the fastest online store in Brazil . According to the Allomni Ranking, Lojas Torra surpassed the speed of e-commerce websites from multinational giants like Amazon, Carrefour, and Mercado Livre. Finally, perhaps it's time for you to implement a Headless CMS like deco.cx in your business.
