A headless CMS for API-driven content and full frontend freedom.
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built on Node.js that serves content over a REST or GraphQL interface and leaves the frontend entirely open. In the Content-Type Builder you define your content models visually, and Strapi generates the matching APIs along with a roles and permissions system automatically. Because you host it yourself, you keep full control over data and infrastructure without being tied to a vendor. That makes it a solid choice when editorial maintenance in a familiar interface and a fully bespoke design need to come together.
More in the documentationWe use Strapi when you want a self-hosted headless CMS that structures your content cleanly yet stays in your own infrastructure. We build the frontend freely with Next.js while your editorial team maintains content in the Strapi admin, never touching our design. You get the separation of content and presentation without binding yourself to per-entry cloud billing.
const res = await fetch(
"https://cms.example.com/api/projects?populate=cover&sort=publishedAt:desc",
{ headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + token } },
);
const { data } = await res.json();
const projects = data.map((entry) => entry.attributes);Good to know
Plan schema changes early. Strapi writes the data model into versioned files, and deep changes to existing content types do not migrate themselves. Getting the model right before real data lands saves you awkward data migrations later.
