Great Video, Thanks Joel :)

[@markyu1996]

Well explained, thanks

[@AgilityCMS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carlolo607]

Contentful allows you to organize as well and page management. 🙌 Excellent information!

[@JoelVarty]

Thanks! I think the fact that Agility has pages, modules (components), and sitemaps as native constructs is the biggest differentiator I was getting at here, essentially allowing you to expose component-driven development concepts for your editors.

[@AgilityCMS]

True, but with Contentful you pay extra for it as an add-on :)

So with headless wordpress does that eliminate having to use the wordpress dashboard, I'm not a fan of wordpress in general, it just feels too clunky, I much prefer building with something like React, must learn Next and Gatsby soon.

[@kendraessig3102]

can you explain more about hybrid headless api? Not seeing a lot of info about it anywhere else. Thanks!

[@AgilityCMS]

Hey, Kendra. A hybrid headless API adds a layer of customization and control on top of a traditional API. This allows for the separation of content management and delivery, while still providing a familiar interface for developers to work with.

What about software like Publii, flat file CMS, would those be headless too? Not in the Cloud but can be accessed by anything (as far as I know) because they don't use a lot of different code. I've been trying to understand headless CMS for awhile, thanks for the explanation. Made it a bit clearer but still not quite what I want. I'm not a fan of the Cloud yet, I like having more control of my content than leaving it out there.

[@AgilityCMS]

Publii is a flat file CMS, which means it stores website content in files instead of a database. It is designed to be used for creating static websites, and it does not have a built-in API to serve content to other applications- short answer is no, Publii is not a headless CMS, as it does not separate content management from presentation. With a headless CMS, the content management system only provides an API for accessing the content, while the presentation layer is left to the front-end application. This allows for more flexibility and control over the presentation layer, but it requires more development work to build and maintain the front-end. If you prefer to have more control over your content and do not want to use a cloud-based CMS, a flat file CMS like Publii may be a good choice. However, keep in mind that a flat file CMS may not be as flexible or scalable as a traditional CMS or a headless CMS.

I was looking to agility cms for WordPress blogs clients then realized how hard it is ....

[@jonvoigt5842]

You can now start with our blog starters but Wordpress is a very different type of system, hard to compare the two. Agility is more flexible and built for larger, more scalable solutions that need security and the flexibility to share content across multiple channels. If you don't know development or have a development team to setup your initial site then yes Agility CMS would be difficult for you. :)

[@xyz-ey7ul]

so the headless wordpress, is just the traditional cms with api attached

[@AgilityCMS]

pretty much.... agilitycms.com/resources/posts/headless-wordpress-bad-idea

Salesforce Marketing Cloud would be a DXP?

[@AgilityCMS]

While Salesforce Marketing Cloud is not typically classified as a full-fledged Digital Experience Platform (DXP), it does offer several features that are commonly found in DXPs, such as personalized content and experience management, marketing automation, analytics and reporting, and integrations with other systems. However, a DXP typically provides a broader set of capabilities, including content management, customer data management, e-commerce, and digital asset management, among others. In contrast, Salesforce Marketing Cloud is primarily focused on marketing automation and campaign management.
