Headless CMS: maintain content once, publish everywhere

A compact website with a headless CMS is sometimes possible in the Starter package from €2,500, provided the content model and number of pages are manageable. Multiple channels, multilingual setups or migrations we usually implement in the Professional package from €8,000; large content platforms we price individually as Enterprise. License or hosting costs of the chosen CMS are listed separately.

That depends mainly on the content model and on the migration of existing content. A new website with a clear structure is implemented much faster than a platform with several channels. We set the schedule after the content audit.

It is worth it when content serves several channels, load time plays a major role or the front end should be designed freely. For a simple company website without further channels, a traditional CMS such as WordPress is often more economical – and we will tell you so.

Yes. Modern headless systems offer clear interfaces, and with a live preview, editors see how content appears on the website. We set up roles and approvals and train your team.

Yes, WordPress can be run headless via its REST API or GraphQL extensions. This is a good option if your team already knows WordPress but the front end needs modernizing.

After the free initial consultation, we analyze content and channels, choose the CMS and model the content. Then front end and components are built, content is migrated, and after testing and training, the website goes live.

A headless CMS is a content management system without its own presentation layer – that is, “without a head”. It stores content in a structured way and makes it available through an interface (API). A separate frontend determines how the content looks – for example a website built with Next.js, an app or a customer portal.

Systems such as Strapi can be self-hosted as open source without a license fee; license terms do differ by system, however, and cloud variants usually cost a monthly fee. The project is still not free: effort goes into the content model, frontend, hosting and maintenance. We review license terms and ongoing costs with you before the selection.

That depends on your editorial team, your channels and your hosting requirements. Strapi and Directus are suited if you want to run the system yourself and extend it freely; Storyblok offers a visual editor as a cloud service; headless WordPress makes sense if your team already knows WordPress. We compare the options with you and explain our recommendation clearly.

With headless commerce, your store system, such as Shopware or Shopify, remains responsible for products, cart and orders, while a custom frontend handles the presentation. This enables fast load times, free design and the combination of store and editorial content. It is mainly worthwhile for merchants with high demands on design, content or multiple channels.

Yes. We set up self-hosted systems such as Strapi or Directus on servers in German or European data centers on request. For cloud services, we check which server locations the provider offers and document the data flows. That supports your data protection documentation. This does not replace legal advice.
