Frequently Asked Questions

A headless CMS separates your content from the channel it’s presented in. Unlike a traditional CMS, which bundles backend and frontend together, a headless CMS lets you manage content in one place and deliver it to any device or channel, giving developers full freedom and editors & content creators a highly flexible and modern content toolbox.

We’re built for teams who values the power of flexibility and an intuitive, fast editorial experience. From easy-to-use content models to real-time preview and AI-assisted workflows, Strife reduces friction for developers and brings the smoothest and most productive Editor Experience on the market.

We’re currently working on an awesome sandbox for editors and marketers to experience Strife. While we’re building, reach out and we’ll be happy to give you a personalized demo.

Strife is a template based CMS with a rich toolbox for customization and extension. To build a website or any other digital service based on Strife you need access to developer skills. This can be via a digital agency or inhouse developer resources. Upon request, Strife provides expert services and implementation assistance. We can also point you to a suitable Strife implementation partner based on your preferences.

Strife enables you to manage and distribute content assets such as editorial content, media and product information. Since Strife is decouples back- and frontend you can use Strife as a central content repository to serve multiple content channels. These content channels can be everything from websites to PDF files, product configurators and mobile apps. With Strife, you can build information, brand or product oriented solutions, e.g. a transactional focused E-com or an information oriented website.

Just like for any other CMS it depends on the scope and complexity of your project. We have had Strife projects built and launched within days and we have customers that has built extensive solutions with a higher complexity over a period of 6-12 months. To streamline implementation time, Strife is built on web components and comes with ready made content editors.

Strife focuses on doing what we do best - Delivering an exceptional content management experience. We’ve made an intentional choice not to build our own E-commerce engine, because we believe your transactional needs are best served by dedicated E-com platforms that already excel at that.

Instead, Strife is designed to integrate seamlessly with the E-commerce solution that fits your business — whether you use Shopify, Norce, Commercetools, or any other headless commerce engine. With our flexible API-first architecture, you can easily connect your Strife-powered content to any store, checkout flow, or product catalog — giving you the best of both worlds: a powerful CMS and a best-in-class E-commerce stack.

Not at all. Editors and marketers can create, update, and publish content without any tech skills. You can even create new features for content presentation in Strife without writing a singel line of code. Developers handle the tech setup, while your team stays focused on the content.

We have put a lot of effort making migration as seamless and friction free as possible. We provide migration tools, proven migration workflows, and active support to quickly help you transfer from your old CMS to Strife with minimal downtime. A typical migration takes 3-5 days.

Being AI-first means we build AI directly into the heart of Strife — not as a separate add-on, but as a natural part of the editorial experience. Our goal is to make everyday tasks faster, easier, and more productive.

With Strife, AI helps streamline content workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and even empower editors to create new components without writing code. We constantly explore how AI can remove friction and boost results — always as an integrated, optional support that works when you need it.

We offer flexible plans based on usage, team size, and project needs. Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, you only pay for what you need. More info on pricing can be found here
