Websites with a headless backend

There's no backend to log into. Just an agent.

The front of gronborggroup.com, with the name and the selected films below. gronborggroup.com, a portfolio site for Søren Grønborg. Click to see it.

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's been eight months since you last did it.

The editing system is the most expensive part of the site. It's 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 fixed limits: it can add a project or fix a line, but it can't touch the design or the layout.

The rest of the time the site is just a site. Very fast, because it doesn't need a database or a dynamic framework.

Why it matters

You don't have to learn a system. And you don't have to learn it again in six months.
