How to connect a self-hosted headless CMS to Eleventy — build-time fetches, webhook rebuilds, and when markdown is enough.
A job board is a structured-content problem: listings, filters, search, expiry. Build the backbone on a CMS you own and wrap your own frontend.
A knowledge base is a content problem, not a help-desk one. A self-hosted CMS gives you articles, categories, and search — and you own it all.
Prismic is already headless, so migrating off it is a data transform, not a page rebuild. Export JSON, map fields, repoint your frontend.
UnfoldCMS and Prismic are built for different people: developers rendering content vs marketers assembling slices. Full head-to-head.
UnfoldCMS and Cosmic solve the same problem from opposite ends: self-hosted pay-once vs AI-native SaaS. Full head-to-head comparison.
Builder.io is excellent at visual page building on SaaS. If you're leaving over hosting, cost, or just need a content source, here are the alternatives.
Prismic is great at slice-based page assembly on SaaS. If you're leaving over hosting, pricing, or lock-in, here are the best alternatives.
Hygraph is GraphQL-native SaaS. The best alternative depends on one question: do you still need GraphQL? Self-hosted and REST options compared.
Cosmic is a polished, AI-forward SaaS CMS — but SaaS-only and metered per user and per bucket. Here are the best alternatives by cost and ownership.
Qwik ships almost no JS and owns its performance. Pair it with a CMS you control — self-hosted, your database, read in routeLoader$.
SolidJS does less at runtime and owns more. Pair it with a CMS you control — self-hosted, your database, read with createResource.
