What Is Headless CMS?
A Headless CMS is an API-based system that separates the content management backend entirely from the frontend presentation layer. Redora builds fast, modular, and scalable projects using these systems.
Content is delivered through the same API to different devices and platforms, enabling easy omnichannel strategies.

Redora selects and customizes industry-leading headless CMS platforms—like Strapi, Sanity, and Contentful—based on project needs. These integrate seamlessly with modern frontend frameworks such as React, Next.js, and Vue.
- Strapi: Node.js–based open-source headless CMS
- Sanity: Real-time data management with portable content structures
- Contentful: Enterprise-grade content infrastructure
