Headless CMS — The Emerging eCommerce Technology
Everyday new technology is emerging and expanding the ways customers and vendors interact. Vendors are trying to ease the way customers shop and use the latest technologies to reach and attract new customers through mobiles, tablets, wearable devices etc.
With the rise of new business models in the e-commerce industry, the need for unique and innovative tech solutions has also been raised. The sector requires agility, flexibility and creative control to build solutions without any constraints.
Headless CMS is the latest emerging technology in the world of e-commerce. It ensures seamless functioning and empowering businesses to have a robust digital presence.
But to understand headless CMS better, we need to understand traditional CMS first.
The traditional CMS was made up of two parts, the body (backend) and the head (frontend). These two parts are tightly wound together or in technical terms, it is called coupling. In traditional CMS, everything was put together in one place.
Let’s explore Headless CMS!!
In headless CMS, the head i.e presentation layer is completely separated from the body part i.e. code. Both layers are connected through API (Application Programming Interface) that enables two applications to communicate with each other.
The headless Laravel CMS allows brands to introduce new touchpoints, features and functionalities etc. using the single backend logic. Also, the same backend is used to create multiple heads (frontend) for mobile apps, IoT devices etc.
Let’s have a look over the benefits of Headless CMS
- Single repository of content for multiple channels. The API allows you to access your content from anywhere.
- Developers are free to choose the programming language they want, it’s not tied with the CMS framework.
- You can optimize the same content differently for many platforms.
- Headless CMS has smaller code that is lighter to carry.
- Headless CMS keeps pace with emerging technologies and is secure from cyber-attacks.
