Is the switch from traditional to headless cms worth it?
My work is considering switching to a headless cms. We’ve been trying to understand when it actually makes sense to move away from a traditional setup.
From my experience with WordPress and Adobe AEM, traditional CMS platforms feel easier to manage day-to-day. Everything is in one place, and content teams can move quickly without relying too much on developers. But at the same time, it feels limiting for us, especially once you need more flexibility or want to scale across different channels.
Headless seems great for flexibility, multi-channel delivery, and giving dev teams more control. But it can also be pretty complex, depending on the team.
Did your team make a switch, and was it worth it? Did headless help with speed, scalability, or workflow? Or was it just a shift in where the problems are? Any and all insight is really appreciated!
