Current CMS Trends: Content Commerce and Headless CMS
Content Commerce: Merging of CMS and Shop System
Content commerce ensures that the entire customer journey is impressive. By bringing together content distribution and shopping experience, your customers have the option to make a purchase at any time. Nevertheless, for the technical implementation, the CMS and e-commerce solution must also work together.
Multi-Channel Strategy with Headless CMS
The requirements for a CMS solution have changed over the years. The website is only one of the many available media types used to deliver content – other media output channels include mobile apps and social media. With a headless CMS and its APIs, content only needs to be created once before it can be distributed across multiple channels.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Us as a CMS Agency
Why do I need a CMS?
Today, most online users are not necessarily looking for specific products, but rather for information, advice and inspiration. To gain and retain customers, a company must stand out with high-quality content. The prerequisite for appealing web content across various channels is an optimally functioning CMS.
What types of CMS solutions are there?
In a traditional CMS, both content creation and management are integrated. One such solution is TYPO3. Conversely, a headless CMS enables content to be simultaneously distributed across multiple channels. Headless CMS providers include Adobe, Contentful, Magnolia and Bloomreach. As an agnostic CMS agency, we help you find the perfect solution for your company and adapt it to your specific requirements.
How much does a CMS cost?
In terms of software costs, a distinction must be made between community and enterprise systems. Community solutions such as TYPO3 are available without any licensing costs. Enterprise solutions such as Adobe, Magnolia and Salesforce require the corresponding licensing fees to be paid. Further costs for system integration as well as hosting are individually adjusted based on the client's specific requirements. dotSource is happy to advise you in this regard.
