Astro Headless CMS made simple
Connect a headless CMS to your Astro project without wiring up APIs or servers. JekyllPad uses Git under the hood, so your content lives in your repository, with clean commits and review-friendly pull requests.
Why use a headless CMS?
Headless keeps content and presentation separate. Editors work in a clean, friendly interface while developers keep full control of Astro components and routing.
- •Editor-first: Non‑technical teammates can publish updates without touching code.
- •Versioned by default: Every change is tracked with Git history, diffs, and PR reviews.
- •Faster workflows: No local setup for editors; publish from the browser.
- •Secure & performant: Your Astro site stays static, fast, and easy to host.
