Which headless CMS should I pick?

For most content-led B2B sites: Sanity if editorial flexibility matters and you have decent technical support; Contentful for larger enterprise teams with established workflows; Payload for projects where you want the CMS in your own codebase. Strapi and Directus are strong open-source options if you can self-host. Avoid Webflow and Framer for sites with more than a few hundred pages — they don't scale well for programmatic SEO.

How do I keep WordPress editors happy after migrating to headless?

Two paths. First: headless WordPress — keep WP as the admin, rebuild only the frontend. Editors don't notice anything changed. Second: replicate the WordPress UX in the new CMS — block editor, draft/preview, scheduled publishing. Sanity Studio and Storyblok handle this well; Contentful needs more custom work.

What's the biggest mistake when setting up a headless CMS?

Letting editors design their own pages. Free-form page builders re-create every problem the original WordPress had. Use structured content models with predefined modules — blog post, location page, product page, FAQ section. Editors fill in fields; they don't lay out pages.

Headless CMS without locking out your editors

The biggest reason 'modern' rebuilds fail isn't performance — it's that marketing teams can't publish without a developer. Here's how to ship a headless CMS your editors actually use.
