HEADLESS CMS
Build Headlessly, Edit Visually
With a multi-tenant, a tech-agnostic architecture, and powerful visual editing tools, dotCMS empowers technical and content teams to collaborate and deliver content globally, on any stack, and at any scale.
The dotCMS 'Beyond Headless' Philosophy
Not all headless CMS solutions are created equal. At dotCMS, we believe in a Universal CMS—one that’s tech-agnostic, giving developers the freedom to build with any front-end framework while empowering marketers to visually manage content and page layouts with ease.
Choose your technology
dotCMS is API-first and framework-agnostic, giving developers complete freedom to build with their preferred front-end framework and programming language. Whether you're developing for web, mobile, IoT, AR/VR, or other emerging technologies, dotCMS lets you tailor experiences to each channel. With a decoupled architecture, developers can fully control the front-end while keeping content flexible and scalable.
Deliver content across any channel
Manage all your sites, apps, and digital experiences from one platform, no matter how many brands, regions, or channels you need to support. With dotCMS’s multi-tenant architecture, you can easily scale and deliver content across websites, apps, digital signage, and voice assistants without being locked into a single front-end. Whether you're launching new campaigns, expanding into global markets, or handling traffic spikes, dotCMS gives you the flexibility to grow without limits.
Enable content teams with visual editing
Marketers and content creators shouldn’t be bottlenecked by developers to make simple content and page layout changes. Unlike traditional headless CMS solutions, dotCMS has a universal visual editor, which empowers content teams to manage content and page layouts, even when the front-end is built headlessly. With drag-and-drop editing, in-context previews, and personalization features, content creators can focus on crafting engaging experiences while developers maintain control over the tech stack.
Integrate with anything
dotCMS is built to connect seamlessly with your existing tech stack. Whether you need to integrate with CRM, eCommerce, analytics, marketing automation, or custom APIs, our flexible headless CMS ensures smooth interoperability. Leverage REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and microservices to build those connections and keep your workflows running smoothly.
Content Modeling
Content modeling helps you define content types, their attributes, and how they relate, ensuring consistency and efficiency. With dotCMS, your content stays structured and reusable, making it easier to manage, validate, and deliver across any channel.
Front-End Framework Support
Build with the framework that fits your project best, whether it's React, Angular, Vue.js, or something else. dotCMS gives developers the freedom to create a fully customized front-end while ensuring a seamless, unified user experience.
APIs & Webhooks
dotCMS’s REST and GraphQL APIs gives developers full control over content, assets, workflows, and layouts, all through a flexible, API-first architecture. With compact JSON responses, it's easy to access, update, and manage content programmatically, making integration seamless across any tech stack.
Universal Visual Editor (UVE)
Edit content visually, even on JavaScript-rendered pages. dotCMS’s Universal Visual Editor (UVE) brings a true WYSIWYG experience to headless content, allowing non-technical users to edit pages on remote web apps and headless websites without needing help from a developer.
Multi-Tenant Support
Easily manage multiple sites, applications, and brands from one platform. dotCMS’s multi-tenant architecture lets you handle separate content environments with different front-end frameworks while keeping everything organized in a single CMS.
Multilingual Support
Deliver content in any language with dotCMS’s built-in localization tools. Whether you're expanding globally or personalizing content for different regions, you can manage translations and create a more engaging experience for all your audiences.
