Ask HN: Is headless a good solution for small businesses?
The headless CMS approach seems to have growing adoption among enterprise businesses. However, for small businesses with a simple marketing or ecommerce website I'm not sure they can reap the same benefits, in particular cost saving.
For example in one report I read the average cost to implement headless architecture for enterprise business is $2.6 million. But for small businesses, if they need custom development each time they want a new feature added the headless model becomes cost prohibitive when the same feature could easily be added with a plugin/app on a traditional WordPress or Shopify site.
Interested to hear other peoples' experience with using a headless CMS for small business clients and thoughts on opportunities for the future?
