Headless website examples FAQ
What is a headless website?
A headless website separates the part visitors see (the frontend) from the systems that manage content, products, bookings and other data (the backend). This gives developers the freedom to create a fully custom website while using a platform to manage the features behind it.
With Wix Headless, you can build unique websites, web apps and online stores while using Wix tools like CMS, ecommerce, bookings and members to manage the content and functionality.
What is Wix Headless?
Wix Headless lets developers use Wix as the backend for a custom website or web app. You can build your own frontend while connecting it to Wix tools for ecommerce, CMS, bookings, payments, members and more.
Wix manages the business features and data through APIs, so developers can focus on creating the design and functionality of the website instead of building these systems from scratch.
What frontend frameworks work with Wix Headless?

How is a headless Wix website different from a regular Wix website?

A headless Wix website gives developers more control by allowing them to create a custom frontend while using Wix to manage content, ecommerce, bookings, members and other features.
Do I need a Wix account to build a headless website?

Where are Wix Headless websites hosted?
The frontend of a Wix Headless website can be hosted on the platform that works best for your project.
Wix manages the backend systems, while developers can choose how and where to host the frontend.
Are Wix Headless websites good for SEO?
Yes. Wix Headless gives developers control over how pages are built, which allows them to implement SEO best practices like metadata, structured data and page performance optimization.
Like any custom-built website, SEO setup depends on how the frontend is developed and maintained.
How do I get started building a headless website with Wix?
Start by creating a Wix site and choosing the business features you want to use, such as ecommerce, CMS or bookings. Developers can then connect a custom frontend using Wix APIs and build the experience they want.
