Discover the simplest, quickest way to manage content across all channels
Deliver brilliant digital experiences with Contentful and Vaimo
Contentful isn’t just any CMS platform; it’s a headless CMS. A traditional CMS couples the content creation and storage with the presentation layer (the frontend of a website or app). Contentful decouples these two aspects and lets you manage content independently from how it’s presented to users. This separation of content from presentation is often referred to as a “headless” or “API-first” approach.
In a headless CMS like Contentful, content is stored in a structured manner, and it’s accessed and delivered to various platforms via APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). This allows you to build custom front-end experiences using various programming languages and frameworks, while still using the content stored in Contentful.
Discover how Contentful and Vaimo can help you take control of your content and deliver it when and where it matters the most.
