Craft allows for a flexible and customized design, making your website to stand out and be unique from your competitors.

Is Craft CMS Secure?
Craft is very secure, with plenty of the latest and best safeguards in place to ensure your website stays safe.

Is Craft CMS headless?
Craft is a hybrid CMS so you can use it as either a monolithic CMS (controlling the presentation of your website through the standard, built-in templating system) or you can use it as a headless CMS (allowing you to custom code all of the front end presentation using the GraphQL API). You can also combine the two if you’d like, allowing you to use templates to control website display while building a headless presentation for your apps!
