Web Development
CMS (Content Management System) is the administration of your site. Thanks to a CMS, you don't need to call a programmer every time you need to change the price of a product, add a new blog article, or correct an error in the text. You do this in a user-friendly visual interface similar to Microsoft Word.

The most popular CMS

The CMS market is huge, but there are a few undisputed leaders: • WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world (more than 40% of all sites work on it). Free, flexible, suitable for blogs and corporate sites. • Shopify - a specialized platform for e-commerce. Paid, but ideal for quickly launching an online store. • Webflow - a modern No-Code platform for designers. Allows you to create complex animations and custom designs without code. • Sanity / Strapi (Headless CMS) - a modern approach for large projects, where the admin (backend) is separated from the visual part (frontend).

How does it work?

CMS stores all your texts and photos in a database. When the user enters the page, the CMS takes the necessary text from the database, inserts it into the design template and displays the finished page. For you, it looks like simply filling in the fields in the editor.

When is a Headless CMS needed?

01Omnichannel

If you need to display the same news on the site, in the mobile application, and on the screens in the store. Headless CMS delivers content via API anywhere.

02High speed

Classic CMS are often slow. With Headless, developers can use modern fast frameworks (Next.js) for the frontend.

/ FAQ

For simple information sites - yes. But for complex products, B2B platforms or high-speed landing pages, it is better to use modern stacks (Next.js + Headless CMS).
