CMS

The SCAYLE Storefront Application includes robust, local CMS modules designed to enable seamless content management and help you deliver custom, dynamic content that elevates your shop's customer experience.

What is a CMS?

A Content Management System (CMS) is an application that allows users to create, modify, and manage digital content without specialized technical knowledge. In the context of a modern, headless e-commerce storefront, the CMS acts as the central repository for all non-product-related content (e.g., editorial banners, static pages, visual blocks, promotional copy). It separates content from presentation, allowing the Storefront Application to fetch and display content through its own high-performance front-end.

Driving Business Value with an Integrated CMS

A modern, integrated CMS is critical for business agility and conversion optimization. Our modular approach ensures that your content management is decoupled from your deployment cycle, providing immediate strategic benefits:

  • Marketing Agility: Empower your marketing and merchandising teams to react instantly to seasonal events, new product launches, and shifting market demands without requiring developer intervention or code deploys.
  • Conversion Optimization: Quickly test and launch new content formats, compelling hero sections, and promotional messages directly on high-traffic pages (like the homepage or PLPs) to maximize conversion rates.
  • Seamless Experience: Handle all content-related tasks—from building rich editorial landing pages to managing specific product promotions—within a centralized system that maintains performance and design fidelity.

CMS Setup

We offer a flexible, modular architecture that allows you to easily plug in your preferred CMS provider. The CMS module is automatically registered and loaded based on your application's configuration.

To select your preferred provider, edit the cms property at the root level of your nuxt.config.ts.

Out-of-the-Box Integrations

The Storefront Application currently provides high-quality, seamless integrations with two leading headless CMS platforms, Storyblok and Contentful.

Crucially, we support the exact same library of core components on both platforms, ensuring consistency and future flexibility, regardless of the provider chosen.

We have prioritized these two providers to give our clients the best combination of visual editing power and enterprise content scalability right out of the box:

  • Storyblok: A powerful visual editor and component-based structure, perfect for visual merchandising and marketing-led content creation. We chose Storyblok for its unmatched True Visual Editing experience, which speeds up content iteration for marketing teams.
  • Contentful: A highly scalable, content-model-first platform ideal for handling large volumes of complex, structured editorial and enterprise-level content delivery. We chose Contentful for its API-first stability and robust architecture, which is essential for high-volume content needs.
