Model content once, deliver everywhere, and keep editors happy.
Headless separates content from presentation. Editors model content once; frontends reuse it across web, apps, kiosks, and feeds. Static/edge delivery keeps things fast and resilient.
Design atomic blocks that can be recomposed—don’t bake layout into content. Use references to avoid duplication. Validate fields (URLs, aspect ratios, alt text) so content is robust.
Pick a blend of SSG/ISR/SSR per route. Invalidate caches by **content id** via webhooks. Serve media via a smart CDN that handles resizing and modern formats.
Give editors live previews, field hints, and automated QA: broken link checks, reading level, alt coverage, and localization completeness.
Localize at the field level so you don’t fork content. Use workflows for review/publish and restrict access by role. Keep a clean audit trail.
Version schemas as you would APIs. Write migration scripts and adopt dual-read strategies while you roll out changes to avoid downtime.
