Looking for some advice! Currently working in wordpress to built some sites for clients. Looking to make a change and reading up on next.js and seems like it could be a great solution but is there a CMS that is comparable to Wordpress from a client making content updates standpoint?

  • payload

    The best way to build a modern backend + admin UI. No black magic, all TypeScript, and fully open-source, Payload is both an app framework and a headless CMS.

    • I don’t recommend using Wordpress as a Headless CMS because eventually you will have maintain and update plugins and more. If you know how to code, I would recommend PayloadCMS. My website is currently built with Next.js and Strapi. But I am planning to move to PayloadCMS in the near future. Strapi is good if you prefer no-code. PayloadCMS in case you know how to code with Typescript and Node.js.
