A headless architecture comprises a headless CMS for content management and a site builder using static site frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, and Nuxt.js. Content is retrieved from the CMS, and bundled code is deployed via a distribution platform. Headless CMS examples include Contentful and Sanity, offering editor interfaces, page previews, and APIs. Site builders use CMS client SDKs to transform data, and distribution platforms enhance performance with CDNs. Third-party services and hosted assets can be integrated.
