Headless CMS

Headless is an approach that ensures effective support for multiple digital channels on the same solution architecture. It’s an increasingly popular way to develop.

Why choose headless?

Headless is the separation of the front-end user experience and the back end of an application. This makes your website content accessible without needing a front-end or presentation layer. It allows digital channels to have individual designs and multiple data sources based on the same solution architecture.

The future of headless

We have a long history of implementing headless solutions. The first steps towards separating the presentation layer and the platform were taken in 2015. Today, the majority of new projects are implemented in a headless fashion. At Novicell, we see the adoption of headless as a step towards replacing custom frontend development and embracing "frontend as a service." This is an area that is still being consolidated in the market, and we are closely following the developments.

When is headless relevant?

Headless is not suitable for all business models. The two main factors are the requirement for multiple data sources (CMS, Commerce, Search, Personalisation, etc.) and multiple digital channels such as websites, apps, or in-store solutions. In these scenarios, a headless solution is advantageous in terms of efficiency and flexibility. It allows for the support and customisation of channels independently of other sources. If you run a webshop with a single channel and have no intentions of adding more, headless may not suit you.
