What TerminusCMS gives you that WordPress can't

Built for Serious Content Management

WordPress was built for bloggers, whereas TerminusCMS is a solution for developers to intelligently build content delivery to an array of stakeholders.

Modern Code

WordPress is a nightmare to extend, has many security holes, and is built with old code. TerminusCMS is for developers, features GraphQL, and the ability to code in many different languages. It has native collaboration, revision control, and access control features to make developers’ jobs easier and less time intensive.

More than Websites

WordPress has a place for simple websites and blogs. However, when you have more complex needs such as back-office management, SaaS, and applications, a flexible and extendable solution like TerminusCMS will save developer time and provide far superior user experiences.

Headless by Design

You can use WordPress as a headless CMS, but that was not the intended use, and the difficulties that come with it highlight this fact. TerminusCMS is headless first, enabling you to leverage powerful native features with an easy-to-configure GraphQL API.

CONTENT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CONNECTED WORLD

Limitless Potential

TerminusCMS has a number of unique features for developers and users to create and connect content to use internally and externally. It removes the technical burden from IT, gives admins a tailored-to-them methodology, and provides first-rate user experiences.

Revision Control

TerminusCMS has an immutable data structure and changes are stored as deltas. Branch and merge both data and schema as well as work offline and push changes later. With diff and conflict-checking tools, developers and users use these features to build efficiently and create amazing frontends. Strapi does not feature native version control making it difficult and time-consuming to extend and scale.

Collaboration Model

The ability to branch, create custom workflows, and compare any two versions of content, means collaboration is built into the foundations of TerminusCMS. For teams working together, TerminusCMS makes it easy to share knowledge concurrently to work faster and more efficiently.

Semantic CMS & Graph Analytics

GraphQL is coupled with a powerful Datalog query language to enable back and frontend users to utilize powerful queries to find, use, and manipulate data on the fly. Under the hood of TerminusCMS is a document graph database, storing data as JSON and semantically connecting content, assets, and data to let you leverage the relationships between data, content, and assets.

Admin UI Flexibility

Give your CMS users the UI they want. Create and publish content together as a team. With powerful full-index search and graph queries, it’s easier to find and use content and data from across the organization to communicate the right information to the right people.
