Everything you need to know about headless websites
What is a headless website?
A headless website separates content management (CMS) from the presentation layer (frontend). You keep the familiar admin interface in WordPress, Sanity, or Payload CMS, while the frontend is built with lightning-fast technologies like Next.js. The result is a website that combines easy content editing with top performance.
Why is headless faster than traditional websites?
Traditional CMS like WordPress dynamically generates pages on each request, which is slow. Headless architecture pre-renders pages as static HTML files served from a global CDN. This eliminates database queries and server processing, delivering load times under 1 second and 100/100 Lighthouse scores.
What does a headless website cost?
Headless websites start from 75,000 NOK for a standard business site with Headless WordPress or Sanity. Medium projects with e-commerce or multilingual support cost 120,000-150,000 NOK. Enterprise solutions with advanced integrations start from 180,000 NOK. All packages include 3 months of free support.
What CMS options do you offer?
We offer three main options: Headless WordPress for those already familiar with WordPress, Sanity for modern content teams needing flexible structuring, and Payload CMS for developers wanting full control. All three deliver the same lightning-fast frontend performance - the choice depends on your team's preferences and needs.
How long does it take to build a headless website?
A standard business site takes 4-6 weeks from start to launch. Medium projects with customizations take 6-10 weeks. Enterprise solutions with complex integrations take 10-14 weeks. We use agile sprints with weekly demonstrations so you see continuous progress.
