Contentful is a headless CMS that allows users to upload content such as text, images, or videos, and then organize and edit it according to their needs. It stands out because it is not page-based like traditional CMS systems. In Contentful, it is not the content that adapts to the software, but the other way around.
A key feature of Contentful for content creators is its use of structured content. This means that content can be used in multiple places. For example, author biographies in blog posts are often reused. In Contentful, you can set this biography as a content type, and then link to it each time you create a new post for that author. When you edit the content type of the biography in the future, the changes will be applied everywhere it is used – no matter how long ago the post was published.
