Wisp CMS — Headless CMS for Next.js Apps
Wisp is a headless content management system designed for Next.js and React applications. It enables you to manage content and images without the overhead of Markdown formatting, accelerates editorial workflows, and optimizes delivery via a global CDN. Built to reduce developer friction, Wisp integrates with Next.js through a lightweight SDK and provides a distraction-free editor, SEO features, and starter kits to ship content and features faster.
What it solves
- Slow content updates by non-developers
- Image hosting and cluttered codebases from media management
- Distractions from core feature development due to content formatting and structure tasks
How it works
- Integrate with Next.js: Use the Wisp SDK to connect your Next.js site (TypeScript-ready).
- Manage content and media: Create posts, pages, and custom content types with a user-friendly editor. Host images via Wisp’s global CDN for fast delivery.
- Delivery and SEO: Content is served with Next.js caching and a built-in SEO toolkit (JSON-LD, sitemaps, metadata) to boost search visibility.
- Publish and iterate: Editors can publish updates quickly without touching code, while developers benefit from a clean integration and performance optimizations.
Getting Started (3 steps)
- Write your first post: Sign up with Google, GitHub, or email and start in the New Post tab.
- Choose a setup method: Integrate with your existing Next.js site or start with a Next.js blog starter.
- Follow setup instructions: Use provided code snippets and examples to wire up the SDK and deploy.
