Websites with a headless backend

There is no backend to log into. You simply say what needs changing.

Sound familiar?

You need to fix two sentences on your site. You log into Wix and spend twenty minutes working out where the text actually lives — because it has been eight months since last time.

The editing system is the most expensive part of the site. It is also the part you use least.

How it works

The site is updated by saying what needs to change, in plain language. An agent carries it out within a fixed frame: it may add a project or fix a line, but it may not touch design and structure.

The rest of the time the site is just a site. Fast, because there is no editing system running behind it.

Why it matters

You do not have to learn a system. And you do not have to learn it again six months from now.
