A headless content management system benefits enterprises that want to publish on multiple channels and deliver highly personalized user experiences. But if your brand only operates a single website populated with static content that doesn't change often, you have little need to switch to a headless CMS. But if you're a modern brand with ambitions to conquer multiple channels with personalized content, continue with your headless cms comparison.
Are you looking to increase efficiency in content production, or do you want to generate more leads? Make sure everybody's expectations are aligned and set KPIs that will indicate whether you achieve your objectives. Consider your budget, taking into account implementation as well as ongoing costs. How much time are you willing to spend comparing potential solutions and on the implementation process? Think about how you can split the implementation of the CMS into multiple phases? Can you start with a pilot project for a single brand and then spread the CMS to minimize risk?
When explaining the benefits of a headless CMS to management and other business stakeholders, it's essential to highlight the technical advantages of the solution model, as well as their future-proof and extensible nature. While traditional implementation models require the CMS and UI to be developed in together, headless solutions allow the CMS to evolve at a different rate than the UI. Headless solutions are also offer the flexibility to evolve alongside the ever-changing expectations of modern consumers. Using a headless CMS solution, additional channels and emerging touchpoints - such as wearables, apps, and voice assistants – can be included into the solution over time, with all content managed centrally in one place. Delivering a highly future-proof architecture, headless solutions provide agility, simplify cross-channel engagement, and position organizations to more quickly adapt to the newest customer experience trends.
Your content team, development team, and marketing team all have their needs for the content management system. And of course, the business has some demands of its own. Make sure you are connected with all stakeholders and include criteria for every team within your company to ensure a balanced headless cms comparison.
A 1-on-1 live demo with the vendor will not only help you get answers to your product questions, it's also a unique opportunity to learn more about who you'd be working with. Are they responsive? Do they have someone in your area or at least in your time zone? Don't let the vendor rely on PowerPoint presentations in their demo. Give them your most important use cases and let them show you what it's like to complete typical tasks in their CMS. Record the demo so that you are well prepared for the next step.
Now you may want to cut the headless cms comparison list down to your top three options and go for the test drive. Most cloud-based headless CMS vendors offer free trials that can help your developers and marketers get to grips with the model and user interface—and we highly recommend taking advantage of those offers before investing too heavily. If you plan a complex architecture, do a proof of concept or ask the vendor to create a proof of concept for you. You can use the critical use cases mentioned in the previous step. This concludes our list of most important steps for your headless cms comparison.
Content comes in a million forms. Articles, videos, pages, events, performances, a. Don't get stuck with fixed content structures and make sure to choose a headless cms that offers flexible content models.
When publishing content for multiple brands and websites, you want to keep your content and data consistent across the whole platform. Make sure to choose a cms that enables you to manage content models, metadata, interaction data and profiles for all brands in one place.
Managing and translating content for different languages can be hard. When you publish multi-language content, look closely at how easy and flexible it is.
Traditional cms systems only manage content, but don't show you how your audience engaged with your content. This is valuable data for your team that provides crucial insights to improve the user experience, drive data-driven marketing campaigns and deliver targeted recommendations. Modern content management systems store interaction data right with the content to make sure you can provide an optimal user experience.
Personalized recommendations are a great way to increase the time people spend with your content. Modern headless CMS tools store behaviour data of your visitors and use this data to provide real-time AI-powered recommendations.
Look beyond basic metrics like page views and popularity to understand how your audience interacts with your content. Learn what they like and what can be improved. Check if your headless cms can provide the level of detail you need to make informed decisions. This concludes our list of things to look at while comparing headless cms tools. Good luck with your journey.
