Headless WordPress VS Craft CMS

Headless WordPress

A headless WordPress site is one that uses WordPress for content management and a different, personalized frontend stack to show material to site visitors.

Headless WordPress can be readily incorporated into many different "stacks" by eliminating the front end. An app's or digital product's stack is essentially its framework.


With Headless WordPress, a marketing team and content team may keep using their familiar WordPress interface, while the development team can continue using their favorite technologies, like React and GraphQL, in a workflow that is known to them with Git.

Craft CMS

Pixel & Tonic launched Craft, a content management system, in 2013. Craft is a versatile, user-friendly CMS for building personalized digital experiences for the web and beyond. Craft is a PHP program that can connect to MySQL and PostgreSQL to save content.

This software program allows users to manage the creation and editing of their digital content. Craft, being a blank canvas, prioritizes content.

An easy-to-use control panel for content development and administrative operations. A fresh start to content modeling and front-end development that makes no assumptions about your material or how it should be consumed.
