How composable content differs from headless CMS?


Consumer behaviors and expectations are changing rapidly, and with them businesses are looking for the best way to adapt.


While a headless CMS decouples the back-end from the front-end, it introduces greater complexity into the mix that can increase costs to build and maintain. 


In a composable content platform like Contentful, your content is broken down into modular components. With composable content, you can create infinitely and reuse existing content in fresh ways across brands, use cases, channels, and regions.

Finding the right composable content solution

Knowing which solution is right for you isn’t always a straightforward path. Here’s what a best-in-class composable platform looks like.

Un-silo your content

A customer-first approach starts with breaking down information and content silos and unifying access to that content within a single platform.

Built-in intelligence

Instead of getting bogged down by manual tasks, look for intelligent features that automate tasks and visualization tools that enable teams to collaborate effortlessly.
