Smart websites are headless

“Speed is the critical driver for Google rankings as well as keeping your users happy.”

Websites built on a Headless CMS load 4x as fast as a non-headless website like WordPress.

ESCAPE THE WORDPRESS FRANKENSTACK

If you’re outgrowing WordPress, it might be time to consider graduating to a Headless CMS.

Many WordPress users experience these common frustrations:

Frankenstack: Combining multiple plugins often results in a patchwork solution that only meets part of your needs, forcing compromises and limiting your website’s true potential.
Outdated Platform: Older WordPress sites can suffer from security vulnerabilities and an over-reliance on numerous plugins.
Unstable Website: Frequent updates can lead to instability and fear of adding new content.
Digital Handcuffs: Being locked into a subpar hosting environment or web vendor.
Poor Performance and SEO: Plugins can bloat your website, slow down performance, create security risks, and hurt your SEO rankings.

A Headless CMS can solve these issues and offer several benefits:

Flexibility: Use any front-end technology like React, Angular, or Vue.js, allowing for more creative and effective web design.
Scalability: Scale your front-end and back-end independently to handle large amounts of data and traffic.
Speed and Performance: Deliver content faster without server-side rendering.
Improved Developer Experience: Developers can work on the front-end and back-end independently, enhancing productivity.
Multi-channel Delivery: Deliver consistent content across web, mobile, and IoT devices.
Better Security: Enhanced security by separating the front-end from the back-end.
Easier Integration: Seamlessly integrate with e-commerce, analytics, and marketing automation tools.

Are you ready to unlock your website’s full potential? Let’s discuss how a Headless CMS can transform your digital presence.

Featured Project

Liberty Tax

Headless CMS & API Integrations

Doing taxes can be stressful – to help alleviate stress for Liberty Tax’s customers and franchisees we implemented a modern, ultra-fast technology stack that cut their page load times by 50%. Our solution features NextJS, which is trusted for its fast speed and ability to easily integrate core features such as SEO and APIs. We also configured their Google Search Console to track error-free indexing, implemented an advanced user tracking ID/fingerprint with Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics events to track metrics for each type of service, and utilized a best-in-class headless CMS to control content and layout. This, coupled with creative usage of their system for FAQs, global banners, and other repeatable components, enabled us to power weighted search terms, advanced affiliate tracking, and custom franchise office page configuration controls.
