Frequently asked questions
What is a headless CMS?
A headless CMS stores and manages content but does not control how it is displayed. The content is delivered through an API to a separate front end — usually faster, more secure and easier to reuse across a website and apps than a traditional CMS.
Will we lose Google rankings if we migrate from WordPress?
Not if the migration is planned properly. We keep URLs where possible, map every changed URL with a 301 redirect, carry over titles and meta descriptions, and check indexing after launch.
Strapi, Sanity or Contentful — which should we choose?
Strapi is open source and can be self-hosted, which keeps running costs low. Sanity and Contentful are hosted services with excellent editing experiences but monthly fees that grow with usage. We recommend one after understanding your team, budget and hosting preferences.
Can our marketing team edit pages without developers?
Yes. We build reusable page blocks so editors can create and rearrange pages, with live preview before publishing.
