The main types of CMS platform. Open one to see every platform of that kind.
- Headless CMS A headless CMS stores and edits content, then serves it through an API to any website or app. Developers choose the front end; editors work in a clean content interface.
- Git-based CMS A Git-based CMS edits content files that live in your own Git repository. There is no separate content database, and every change is a commit you can review and roll back.
- Visual CMS A visual CMS lets editors build and change pages by clicking directly on a live preview, while content is still stored in a structured, reusable way.
- Composable DXP A composable digital experience platform bundles content, personalization, commerce and delivery as modular pieces that large organizations can mix and match.
- Traditional CMS A traditional CMS manages content and renders the website in one system, with themes, plugins and an admin area all in the same installation.
- Website builder A website builder is an all-in-one hosted tool for designing, publishing and managing a site, usually with a drag-and-drop editor and a built-in CMS.
- Desktop site builder A desktop site builder is an app on your own computer. You design and manage the site locally, then publish the result to any host you choose.

How we rank
A CMS that is perfect for developers can be wrong for a localization team. So we never rank platforms in general: every comparison starts with one job.
-
We pick one job
Localization, enterprise governance, developer experience. Each comparison answers one question.
-
Weight the features
We list the features that job depends on and weight them by how much work they save.
-
Check the evidence
Vendor documentation, public reviews and hands-on testing. Roadmap items are marked as roadmap.
-
Re-check often
Vendors ship fast. Every comparison shows when it was last updated.
