Trusted Headless CMS for Custom Builds

ButterCMS was created in 2015 to power custom builds of websites, portals, apps, or any other digital content as one of the very first headless CMS. Since then ButterCMS has become trusted by developers around the world because of our simplicity, speed, and support. We are proud of the G2 user ratings we’ve earned that prove this.

What is a Headless CMS?

A headless CMS is a content management system that does not control the “head” or visible front end of the content. This allows developers to build their front-end in the programming framework of their choice and integrate it via API to a simple, easy to use CMS back-end where content creators can easily create, edit, and publish content.

Why use a headless CMS? First, it frees developers from the drudgery of making daily website changes for their content creators. It empowers content creators with maximum flexibility and efficiency in their content. ButterCMS speeds up the content creation, maintenance, and publishing process.

SEO Benefits?

How can a headless CMS help SEO? There are several ways. First, any CMS should help your content team fill in the most important technical SEO tags for any content. Second, a headless CMS will reduce the code-bloat that slows down the page load speed with any traditional CMS like Wordpress. ButterCMS checks both of these boxes, prompting your content team with fields for the most important meta tags and title tags for SEO, and also allowing your team to improve page load speeds with lightning-fast code. ButterCMS takes page load speed a step further by automatically optimizing images for smaller sizes and distributing them on a fast global CDN.
