In short

A headless website separates the content system from the front end, so content lives in a CMS and pages are built with a framework such as Astro or Next.js. Built as static or server-rendered HTML, headless sites load very fast, give full control over SEO and structured data, and are easy for AI agents to read.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is headless overkill for a small business?

Often, yes. A well-built Wix Studio site is usually the better value for a small service business. Headless pays off for large content sites, custom features and performance-critical projects.

Can our team still edit content?

Yes. Content is edited in a headless CMS with a visual interface, and changes publish to the site automatically.
