FAQ

Headless CMS — Common Questions

A headless CMS is a content management system that stores and delivers content through APIs, with no built-in frontend. Unlike traditional CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, a headless CMS lets you build your website with any technology — React, Next.js, Vue, or even mobile apps — while editors manage content in a clean, purpose-built interface.

WordPress combines content management and presentation into one system. A headless CMS separates them. Your content lives in the CMS (like Contentful CMS, Sanity CMS, or Strapi CMS) and is delivered via API to a custom frontend. This means faster sites, better security, easier scaling, and the freedom to use modern frontend frameworks.

It depends on your team, budget, and workflow. Contentful CMS is ideal for large enterprise teams with complex localization needs. Sanity CMS is best when you need deep customization and real-time collaboration. Strapi CMS is the go-to if you want open-source flexibility and full data ownership. Last Rev can help you evaluate each option against your specific requirements.

Most migrations take 6-12 weeks depending on the size of your content library and complexity of your current site. Last Rev uses automated migration pipelines to move content, preserve SEO metadata and URLs, and validate everything before cutover. We run old and new sites in parallel so there is zero downtime.

Yes, but the learning curve is much smaller than you might think. Modern headless CMS platforms like Contentful, Sanity, and Storyblok have intuitive editing interfaces. Last Rev includes hands-on training as part of every implementation so your team is productive from day one.

Absolutely. If you have already selected a headless CMS, we can handle the implementation, content modeling, frontend build, and migration. We work with Contentful CMS, Sanity CMS, Strapi CMS, Hygraph, Storyblok, Prismic, and Directus.

Project costs vary based on scope — a straightforward marketing site on Contentful or Sanity typically starts at $50K-$80K, while complex multi-locale enterprise builds range higher. Contact us for a free consultation and we will give you a transparent estimate based on your requirements.
