Why dotCMS

What is Headless?

A Headless CMS decouples your content from the front-end, letting developers build with the frameworks they love, while content authors create, edit, and publish without code.

 

dotCMS goes further. With our Visual Headless approach, your development teams get all the flexibility of headless while still allowing marketers the control they need.

Build once. Use anywhere.

Visual Editing Meets API-First Architecture

  • Universal Visual Editor: Drag-and-drop layouts, live preview, and in-context editing — no IT tickets required.
  • API Everything: RESTful and GraphQL APIs for content, layout, search, and assets.
  • Freedom to Build: Use any front-end framework. Empower development teams to move fast.

Built-In Governance & Compliance

Eliminate risk — without slowing down

  • Granular Permissions: Role-based controls down to the component level.
  • Multi-step Workflows: Approvals and reviews tailored to your organization.
  • Audit Trails & Version History: Every action, documented.
