Contentful

Contentful is a Headless Content Management System (CMS) – an API-first content management platform to create, manage and publish content on any digital channel.

A headless CMS is a content management system that separates the presentation layer (where content is presented) from the backend (where content is managed). A headless CMS allows you to manage content in one place and be able to deploy that content on any digital channel you choose.
