About Contentful
Founded in Berlin in 2011 as a start-up with three employees, Contentful GmbH has grown into one of the big players on the CMS vendor market within just a few years. Unlike traditional CMS providers, the headless CMS focuses on interfaces and is thus extremely streamlined, versatile and easy to integrate.
With a headless CMS, content can be distributed simultaneously to many different types of media – websites, (progressive web) apps, digital signage – via application programming interfaces (APIs) without having to transfer it manually.
Gain More Flexibility and Autonomy with Contentful CMS
Contentful is a popular cloud-based alternative to traditional content management systems – especially for companies that focus on multi-channel marketing and want to distribute their content quickly, freely and flexibly across various channels.
The solution is a decoupled CMS, which means that the front end and back end are separated. This special infrastructure has substantial benefits for both content creators and software development teams: Content only needs to be created and distributed once, significantly reducing the time required to complete these tasks.
In addition, published content is automatically adapted to the user's device and screen size. Developers can work with any type of code and install additional extensions as required.
Contentful Features and Benefits
Contentful stands out across development, marketing and decision-making – especially due to its strong performance and scalability. Marketers like the intuitive operation of the web app, with development teams appreciating the innovative API-first approach: Structured data and a separation of the content and presentation layer enable the integration of content into mobile apps and progressive web apps beyond website creation.
The software also has a flexible microservices architecture, which ensures additional speed and customisability in all currently relevant programming languages. Contentful can therefore be easily integrated with other systems such as product information management, customer relationship management and e-commerce solutions.
