Key Features
Faster builds, more profit
Designed for building headless websites quickly and efficiently
Let’s face it, most of the time you want to use a headless CMS because it plays nice with your tech stack, but then it takes forever to configure and the end result stresses out even your most experienced developers.
Stop overcomplicating your headless website builds. Create simple, headless websites, following our easy & repeatable methods that save you time, stress and money.
Delightful developer tooling
To get you going quickly we’ve built out starter kits with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, they use our recommended setup, are pre-configured with our SDK and come with best-practice content modelling and example content.
As part of every Contento license we offer a robust Image Optimization API, this allows you to optimise images on the fly via a simple URL syntax and have them delivered at speed from our global CDN.
Marketing and content teams love us
An intuitive editing experience
Contento is built with one primary use-case in mind — managing content for your website. This lets us strip away all the unnecessary bloat and give you a CMS that marketing folk actually want to use.
With our easy to use interface, editing content is quick, simple and all within the context of the page.
Tired of repeating yourself?
My Library - Your very own content model store
We know good content modelling takes time. So we created a way for you to store your favourite content models to use in any new sites you build. You can also choose from our library of pre-built content models to speed up the process.
Perfect for agencies or those building multiple sites that want to save time on the setup.
Everyone needs to see how it looks before they hit publish
Visual Preview
All our starter kits come pre-configured to use Visual Preview with your local dev environment. You can use it whilst developing your site, or when you need to add new components and pages — then when you go live, you can switch it over to work with your production domain.
Content editors request less help from the dev team if they can see what they’re creating in realtime before they publish it.
How are we different?
A headless platform built for websites
If you want to build a website and use a headless CMS to hold your content, then we’re a perfect fit.
Because we are built to manage website content, we give you out-of-the-box tooling that Just Works™.
Intuitive user interface for non-technical users
Let your content editors write and manage content without the headache of using a complex interface.
Too often the CMS scares off users, so we built Contento to be simple and easy to use.
In-built SEO & Open Graph to help you rank well
Switch on and configure our SEO module to get first-party technical SEO done right.
Set up automatic rules for defaults, and let users override what they need to on a per-page basis.
Starter kits to get you up and running in no time
Hand built, best-practice starter kits from the Contento team to get you going super fast.
Kits come complete with content modelling, example content and a git repo for you to use to bootstrap your next project.
Image Optimization API — pick that low-hanging fruit
No website should ever be serving huge images, scaled down by the browser.
Our Image Optimization API is similar to many others you may have paid to use before, but comes for free as part of your Contento license.
All the features you’d expect from a modern CMS
Robust content API, SDK clients for major frameworks, visual preview, multi-language and more.
Crucially however, nothing you don’t actually need for a modern marketing website.

“When I started to see what Contento was capable of I got pretty excited! It’s a lot easier to work with than most of the others I’ve tried. Especially when it comes to content modelling. I love that you have a NextJS toolkit already. I was so excited to share it with my team.”
