Why Startups Should Consider a Headless CMS Early On
Startups move fast. The tech you pick in month one can save (or cost) months later.
A Headless CMS keeps you flexible while you figure out product–market fit.
Simple Reasons It Helps
- Faster launch: Frontend and backend teams work in parallel.
- Flexibility: No theme lock-in—use React, Next.js, Vue, or whatever you prefer.
- Scalability: Handles growth, new locales, and new channels without a rebuild.
- Future-proof: Swap frontends without migrating content again.
- Multi-platform: Publish once, deliver to web, mobile, even devices and kiosks.
Quick Startup Tip
Start small: model one page type, wire a single route, and add preview. If it speeds you up, expand. If not, you’ve only invested a sprint.
