Prismic

What is Prismic?

Prismic is a developer friendly headless CMS built around reusable components (Slices) for page building, suited to teams wanting headless content with a practical page building approach for marketers. Developers build reusable content components called Slices (for example a hero, a feature list, a testimonial), and marketers then assemble and edit pages from those Slices, combining headless, API first delivery with a page building experience, so content teams compose pages while developers keep structure and control, with REST and GraphQL APIs and strong framework support. This Slice based approach makes Prismic practical for building marketing sites and pages headlessly. Well suited to developer and marketer collaboration, Prismic is a leading developer friendly headless CMS. For developer friendly page building, Prismic is a leading choice.

Prismic's distinction is its Slice based page building on a headless core. Developers create reusable Slices and marketers build pages from them, so content teams compose and edit pages practically while developers keep headless structure and control, which pure headless CMS without page building do not match for marketer friendly page composition. That Slice based page building sets it apart.
