Headless CMS & Next.js: A Powerful Combination

For modern web development, a powerful combination is often recommended: Next.js for the frontend and a headless CMS for the backend. This approach, known as a decoupled architecture, offers incredible flexibility and performance.

What is a Headless CMS?

Unlike WordPress, where content management (backend) and the presentation layer (frontend) are tightly coupled, a headless CMS is just a content repository. It delivers content via an API to any frontend you choose—be it a Next.js site, a mobile app, or even a smart-watch.

Why This Stack is Recommended:

• Blazing-Fast Performance: Next.js sites are incredibly fast, which is great for SEO and user experience.
• Enhanced Security: Decoupling your backend reduces the attack surface.
• Omnichannel Content: Use the same content for your website, mobile app, and more.
• Developer and Marketer-Friendly: Developers love the modern workflow and marketers get a user-friendly interface to manage content.

This is the future of web development. It is the stack that powers many high-performance projects.
