Content continues to be a crucial marketing strategy for any organization. In fact, <a href="https://www.searchenginejournal.com/content-marketing-statistics/475206/#close">over 70% of B2B and B2C marketers</a> utilize content marketing as part of their overall marketing goals. Couple this with the fact that content marketing has been found to generate three times as many leads as traditional marketing, and you can see why taking a strategic approach is so vital.
Central to a company’s content marketing strategy is its ability to manage its own website content in an efficient and effective manner. A reliable and flexible content management system (CMS) allows you to create, scale, and enhance any piece of content.
Here’s what you need to know about content management systems and how to choose the right type of CMS.
<h2>What is a CMS?</h2>
A CMS is software that gives you the ability to create, manage and publish content for your website. Traditional CMS platforms, like WordPress, are considered monolithic, meaning everything is packaged together, with the front-end design and layout directly tied to the back-end code and database.
Another type of CMS solution is known as a headless CMS. Designed as a back-end only CMS, content is accessible for display on any device using an API. The result is a content-first approach to your CMS platform.
<h2>Differences Between WordPress and Headless CMS</h2>
Traditional CMS options like WordPress are built to display content through a single application, primarily a website. A <a href="https://buttercms.com/blog/what-is-headless-cms/">headless CMS</a>, on the other hand, is designed for content displays across a number of presentations, not just your website.
The differences between monolithic and headless CMS ultimately affect the content creation, operations, management, consistency, integration, and front-end execution of your content.
<h4>Content Creation</h4>
When it comes to creation and structuring of content in WordPress, information is managed through posts and pages. Posts are added to an existing blog and displayed with the newest at the top. Content is tagged into categories as a method of classification. These pages are considered static with the goal of providing information about one particular subject.
In a headless CMS environment, content and structuring are done through a web-based interface. The interface is accessible by content editors and authorized users who can create, edit, organize, and tag specific content. Content is generally stored in a database and available through API, so it can be displayed appropriately on any device.
Some headless CMS platforms, also have the<a href="https://buttercms.com/kb/category/content-modeling-basics/"> option of content modeling</a>, which allows for custom fields and creation of dynamic content and personalization.
<h4>Content Operations</h4>
Once the content is created and structured, it needs to be organized and produced to meet the needs of the target audience – also known as content operations.
In a monolithic environment, content management and organization involve scheduling, automatic notifications when new content is published, and configuring user permissions. Often, this occurs through third-party plugins, which can increase compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, and more.
In a headless CMS, web-based interfaces can be accessed by any user on any device. WYSIWYG editor options, custom page types, workflow creation, and localization all provide a flexible and dynamic solution to content creation for a wide variety of audiences.
<h4>Content Management</h4>
Content management can be<a href="https://buttercms.com/blog/enterprise-content-management-challenges/"> your ultimate competitive edge</a>, increasing lead generation and conversion. This only happens, however, when you strategically plan your publication calendar.
In WordPress, content management includes SEO optimization tools (typically plugins) as well as automated publishing and scheduling processes.
In a headless CMS, content management is more agile because of the dynamic experience. Based on what device the content is viewed on, a headless CMS can allow for different structures and presentation styles.
<h4>Content Consistency</h4>
In WordPress, content consistency happens through a variety of templates and themes. The standardized look of your website is coupled with specific templates for individual pages and sections. While plug-ins, custom post types, and other items can help aid consistency, there are also several challenges.
Many legacy CMS platforms give users very specific features and functionalities, making it difficult to personalize the experience. In addition, any amount of edits can be time-consuming and difficult to scale.
In a headless CMS environment, content consistency is guided by a set of clear standards for structure, writing, language, tone, and formatting. For instance, a headless CMS could provide custom content types, fields, and typeforms, all centrally located and accessible through APIs.
<h4>Integrations</h4>
Because content does not exist in solely written words, it is important for content teams to pay attention to how content types integrate with one another. In WordPress, this typically happens through third-party plug-ins and themes.
In a headless CMS, things like Rest API, webhooks, CDNs and microservices all handle integration and functionality based on the needs of a particular application. APIs can retrieve and utilize content in the CMS regardless of technology stack or programming language to create a unique, functional user experience.
<h4>Front-end Execution</h4>
In WordPress, front-end rendering is done through code and WordPress templates. Through a system of templates and template tags, you can control the execution of the pages, their structure and layout. In a headless CMS, front-end rendering happens through a separate application that takes the content and places it in an API, resulting in the rendering the user sees.
<h2>The Use of Headless WordPress</h2>
WordPress does have a headless option. However, technically, it’s decoupled, rather than truly headless. That’s because the head is still attached to the backend. In other words, when you use Headless WordPress, you still have to deal, at least partially, with the UI when installing things like main plugins and performing the setup. 
Drawbacks to a decoupled WordPress environment include increased maintenance, need for heightened development experience, plugin dependency, and potential increased cost to get what other truly headless CMS options give you right out of the gate. 
Headless WordPress has several options that could <a href="https://buttercms.com/blog/headless-wordpress-how-to-use-their-blog-data-in-your-app/">benefit</a> organizations who are looking to test a headless approach. However, there are important limitations to consider as you look to align your CMS with long term strategies. 
<h2>How to Decide Which CMS is For You </h2>
There are a number of options to consider when it comes to the use of content for social, web, advertising, internal and more. That’s why it’s important to start at the beginning and develop your digital strategy. Honing your digital strategy will allow you to define your target audiences, set clear goals, audit existing resources, and create a proactive content approach. By understanding what you’re hoping to achieve, you’ll know what the best programs and tools are.
It’s also important to think about where you’re at now and where you’re hoping to go. While a certain product might meet your current needs, looking to the future will help you choose platforms that will grow with you and your company’s content goals.
The best future-proof technology tools will allow you to:
<ul>
<li>Increase productivity and efficiency</li>
<li>Improve the user experience</li>
<li>Allow you to scale</li>
<li>Give you advanced analytics to drive decisions</li>
<li>Enhance search engine optimization</li>
</ul>
Ultimately, understanding your present and future state will help determine the CMS that’s right for you. It’s an exercise that’s worth the time and effort as your website and its content is crucial to success in today’s digital climate.

Marketing 101: Managing Website Content on WordPress vs. Headless

jake-lumetta

The holidays call for a lot of cooking – and one essential ingredient is butter. 
That was also the case for <a href="https://www.tiugotech.com/" target="_blank">Tiugo Technologies,</a> an affiliate of leading M&amp;A firm <a href="https://www.psgequity.com/" target="_blank">PSG Equity</a> that specializes in early-stage mid-market technology companies.

Tiugo Technologies Enhances its Portfolio of Developer Platforms with ButterCMS

cms-critic-staff

Composite of ButterCMS logo, Tuigo Technologies logo, and PSG Equity logo.

ButterCMS has been a favorite of developers for years, garnering some of the best reviews of any headless CMS on the market. Now, with the addition of its <a href="https://buttercms.com/features/?utm_source=referral&amp;utm_medium=guest-post&amp;utm_campaign=cmscritic&amp;utm_content=components-post#flexiblecontentmodeling-components">new Components feature</a>, Butter is poised to gain some serious ground with marketing teams as well.
Components give marketers the ability to build dynamic landing pages. This means marketers can try new ideas, run new tests, and publish entirely unique pages - all with minimal support from their engineering teams.
The addition of components opens up a new world of possibilities for marketers while simplifying the development process for sites and apps built on many popular tech stacks.
<h2 id="a-new-way-of-doing-things">A new way of doing things</h2>
As ButterCMS Founder Jake Lumetta points out, the addition of components adds new layers of flexibility and control that traditional CMS doesn’t offer.
“Many marketers have to schedule a developer each time they want to make a change to a page. Even marketers who already have a good CMS are often limited to controlling content within a static layout,” says Lumetta. “Components give marketers the ability to add, remove, and reorder the elements of a page. This is a level of control some marketers have never had before.”
Today’s results-oriented marketing teams need the ability to continually test content and page variations. Components enable this, and they allow the marketing team to implement many changes on their own, without a developer.
Engineering configures a standard set of components upfront and creates the code to render those components as desired. Marketing can then choose which components to include in a page, and also gets complete control over the content.
<h2 id="how-components-work">How components work</h2>
While this change represents a major turning point in the workflow for developers and content marketers, it is a relatively small change to the ButterCMS user interface. Two new field types enable the component-based approach.
The first new field type is components. A component is essentially a repeatable grouping of fields. One component might include all of the copy and images for the page’s hero section, while another might include all of the links for the footer.
Components enable marketing teams to create standardized page elements, control their content, and easily reorder them within a page.
The second new field type is the component picker. The component picker provides a library of components that marketing can use to build whole pages. Components can be repeated and reordered within a page, providing the flexibility to use any combination and any number of components.
The result is that engineering builds one template, while marketing gets access to many dynamic landing pages.
<h2 id="building-a-page-with-buttercms-components">Building a page with ButterCMS components</h2>
Building a page with components is simple and intuitive. To illustrate, let’s look at the process you would follow to create this landing page:
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/3Sk2yKrvHyafd70wxmQVx7vZkVD7SwWvFjTb9_kBP6w8c4qAuerh8qQMlF8ZctDF144z-UuOHksPEs8Ijk-OobgNSsi4E-_ZZpm2dfZhSGdSRHpLQ759zBmUYvol81zUFRCgwhqS" alt="undefined" /></figure>
This is a fairly standard landing page, but it has many different elements, each with its own layout requirements. If we break this page down into components, a few of them might look like this:
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/z5IdOaI2QFHoi8yp-70x46BEV_Cl74xhgV3ceC3wJNs7_gH-Wv7cjtKMj-guPYLHo1G9ejjaUN0MfOIrVhKKrlxuxXbbptotSW1KxTt80f3zKBu4p1-TWmVO2crJXnIx5vgzL9cM" alt="undefined" /></figure>
This component contains the content fields for the hero section.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/fcAsnmNNzj0EDL7ziwoN_Tm7YboXZH_fQrY88gILhae8A_yzfD5Ro0YBNJ-ncDHJ-8EuXCQQlZWb1K0RvE_zHY5WQfOMRB4vP8XEBQK0BYnGHmgT7iX9ghAZCB_5y10ELMGiC93t" alt="undefined" /></figure>
This component contains content fields for a call-out section with an image.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/HcIC3Oy0niXntGlub7Whv3Qr05HJCujRsKuMntjZMAbDN2mB57Q8_ZXVY_nWq74YscK0PiNhTil78FVFJO4cp7sxi9H3V9PSboYwk1HJgFPv6CeK5FHg3JxFSU1mLUfvLxki4gVd" alt="undefined" /></figure>
This component contains content fields for a call-out section without an image.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/fXGaYQbchHNuDI7yj_UXgJmJlXh8P9ssb1MbNBOhyJPlE0K-PYVJm1xSx9i6-TtSj4DXiaDEK0ahnadtcftjxDAYyR0VhXFjATY9-p9_pdo5ahSY0TgUJ3gW6wpbyayzaAVsVQoL" alt="undefined" /></figure>
This component contains content fields for a use case section.
When your components have been configured, the component picker allows you to choose which of them you want to include in the layout of your current page. You can choose as many custom components as you need, and you can repeat them within a page. Just click on the plus “+” sign to see all available components that your team has customized for you.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/4xm4Zo9QJovuqtdGsA0iMm0TA4JX3OzRL_Nkq9pXxcqB_FIZkOfSlj_jhSzzaHJqIuHUFGEeXz0FomRikZgfSCbHBXVmZLO8Z0tDojBWRZ-V51j5xtRW_00fSG9IvQwP1qhpyfZe" alt="undefined" /></figure>
You can reorder entire sections of the page simply by clicking and dragging.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qdpBwjUSt7jPohI6r3E8euvRZB1vGm2chuyqlIWnQDi06Fy_4nRIbkUark7jHdhgJ60hyUOyQsETgc2-tQwqCPmbnJzoNis9KL7MUrFX6-rVdjCijvLH44UGRo5o4dpB0CF1tIu" alt="undefined" /></figure>
Setting up a page like this is a simple, straightforward process for both engineering and marketing.
After a component has been configured, it can be reused any number of times. ButterCMS maintains a library of your configured components, and you can use them every time you create a new page, even across different page types.
<h2 id="working-with-component-repeaters">Working with component repeaters</h2>
Component repeaters bring even more flexibility to a page by allowing users to repeat groups of fields for related items. It’s a great way to handle image galleries, feature grids, content sliders, and much more.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/y15xQjznquUSOdGYaEbaqkmY1Jo2_0HsOCQ7JrPb25C7kg-z1-kJaeUoQ0gG4g898LrR4E7ivJYzwioavRU4ZOdMQqEWRu5v_-333sqriMKtmuaxvNahshRqrfNbaXdfyJLZcoZO" alt="undefined" /></figure>
Looking at the e-commerce site below, you can see that there are multiple product slides that rotate within the hero section.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/v8K__iKW8l2i0hcYRUlhZqiOBfbOK0ygiIn3uA86mKJz3GgqTBoUdco7G-QJVjntpi7A4wK9yVjE-OlqIK3r9hun9LJrvj1UvqCYS4lNX00mxcB7OG0CUkxWcsycKdtTy3mD5p4-" alt="undefined" /></figure>
To model this in Butter, you would create a page with a hero component, add a repeater to the component, and finally, add fields to the repeater.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TZobfuajjEeBAUZrTuPto7SLmXAhoETqDxassPL3d9iN6M72Kn8-F9h4MkkKwogZQO_kJ3RHOL5oLsCNgcFlsbJbbIqeMAXuC-Gbd7u37XNlb0lAT5TRANv3zxT4c8SRa_sf89uH" alt="undefined" /></figure>
After your page configuration has been saved, you will see the Product Hero component and the Product Slides repeater in the content UI.
<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Y6yw84bClHYmDRYRML71juMdn7qIzX78c7U_oAaXky9FjNSA2RhEH_uHJXTGHCNy4CZRExvUHhAXGaLeG-Dx_h4Isj5M7NL0Gz0Lsc1kRXfoRsoHVt1hC4H3uqSiwjySkB1R2OQA" alt="undefined" /></figure>
At this point, you can begin building your page by clicking the button to add a new Product Slide, and completing the fields that were specified above in the page configuration.

With a completely redesigned Pages Dashboard, Butter offers a lot more capability to easily edit and manage pages for your website including filtering your content and easier localization.

<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/buttercms2_kfgy10.gif" alt="buttercms2" />
If you use different languages to set up your site content, you’ll appreciate ButterCMS’s recently added localization capability that filters down the pages that need to be translated.
<h1><a name="_uh9oeqkhqrlp"></a>Media Library</h1>
Another productivity boost for ButterCMS users comes in the form of the upgrade to the media library based on popular demand to upload multiple images at the same time.

I’ve also noticed they’ve made minor workflow improvements by getting rid of additional steps in the process, allowing you to manage your content much easier.

It takes away the complications of navigating through the website and empowers marketers to easily make changes to the blog pages without the constant need of a developer’s help.
