Headless content with Strapi for every channel
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built on Node.js. Editors manage content in an admin panel, and developers deliver it through REST or GraphQL APIs to websites, apps and other channels.
Strapi is self-hostable, customisable and free of per-seat licensing, which suits teams that want control over content infrastructure. It works well when the same content feeds several frontends. The trade-offs are hosting and upgrades you manage yourself and a need for developer involvement to change content models. For a single simple marketing site, WordPress or Webflow may be less work; for heavily relational business data, a framework-based admin such as Filament can be a better choice.

Strapi questions
What does headless CMS mean?
The CMS manages content but does not render pages. Your website, app or other channel fetches the content through an API and displays it.
Is Strapi free?
The open-source edition is free to self-host. Paid plans and hosted options add features and support; you still need to budget for hosting and maintenance.
Where can Strapi be hosted?
On any server or cloud that runs Node.js with a supported database, or through Strapi's own hosted service. We set up hosting in your account so you own it.
How do you design content models in Strapi?
We work with your editors to define content types, components and relations that match how content is actually written and reused, avoiding one-off fields for every page.
Can Strapi control who edits and publishes content?
Yes. Roles and permissions govern what each editor can see and do, and draft and publish workflows keep unfinished content off the live site.
Can you build custom Strapi plugins?
Yes. Plugins and custom controllers extend the admin panel and API with features such as integrations, custom fields or bespoke workflows.
Can Strapi serve content to a mobile app as well as a website?
Yes. Content is delivered through REST or GraphQL APIs, so websites, mobile apps and other channels can all use the same source.
How do you secure a Strapi API?
We restrict public API access to what each frontend needs, use API tokens for server-to-server calls, keep the admin panel protected and update dependencies regularly.
Can you migrate our content from WordPress into Strapi?
Yes. We map existing posts, pages and media to new content types, import them with scripts and check links and images before switching over.
What does upgrading Strapi involve?
Minor updates are usually straightforward, while major versions can change APIs and plugins. We test upgrades on a copy of your data before touching production.
