Headless CMS Agency: DatoCMS, Contentful, Prismic & Contentstack
A headless CMS keeps content separate from design, so marketing teams publish faster while the website stays fast, secure and on-brand. ANML designs and builds them on DatoCMS, Contentful, Prismic and Contentstack.
ANML is an official DatoCMS, Contentful and Prismic partner, and has rebuilt enterprise websites on Contentstack. Our own site, anml.com, runs on DatoCMS. Clients include Salesloft, Panorama Education, Enfabrica, OrthoFX, Axon and World Central Kitchen.
A headless build is more than a new CMS. We model the content around reusable components so marketing can launch pages without a developer, migrate every page that matters without losing search traffic, and build a fast front end, usually Next.js, on top. The same senior team designs the site, builds it, and supports it after launch. The case studies below show that work on each platform.

FAQ
Is ANML a DatoCMS agency?
Yes. ANML is an official DatoCMS partner, and anml.com itself runs on DatoCMS. Enfabrica, an AI infrastructure company, runs its website on DatoCMS, designed and built by ANML. For OrthoFX, a clear aligner company, ANML designed and built the consumer website on DatoCMS with a library of predefined components, so the OrthoFX team could publish new pages and content without a developer.
Is ANML a Contentful agency?
Yes. ANML is an official Contentful partner. For Panorama Education, ANML modeled the content in Contentful, migrated more than 200 editorial pages off HubSpot, and built the front end on Next.js on Vercel. The site launched on schedule in three months and brought in 2.5x more inbound leads.
Is ANML a Prismic agency?
Yes. ANML is an official Prismic partner. We built Axon's website on Prismic, telling the story of the TASER maker's product ecosystem to law enforcement agencies, its B2B buyers. For World Central Kitchen, ANML built a flexible platform on Prismic in 2020 to handle new initiatives and support expanding relief efforts around the world; that work won a 2022 Anthem Award. We build Prismic sites around reusable slices, so marketing teams can assemble and publish new pages on their own.
Does ANML build on Contentstack?
Yes. ANML rebuilt Salesloft's website on Contentstack when Salesloft merged with another company. The team consolidated 10,000 pages into one brand on one domain, preserved 208 referring domains, and launched in four months, with a 50% higher MQL-to-sales rate afterwards.
What is a headless CMS, and when does a B2B company need one?
A headless CMS stores and manages content separately from the website that displays it. Marketing teams edit content in the CMS, and developers build a fast front end that pulls it in. It's a good fit when a B2B company has a large or growing site, several teams publishing, multiple regions or products, or a site that has become slow and hard to change on an all-in-one platform.
How do you move to a headless CMS without losing search traffic?
Every existing URL is mapped to its new home before launch, redirects are tested in bulk, and the pages that bring in links and leads are carried over first. On the Salesloft rebuild, that process consolidated 10,000 pages while preserving 208 referring domains. Content is modeled in the CMS around reusable components, so the new site launches complete rather than half-migrated.
How long does a headless CMS website take, and what does it cost?
Most ANML headless CMS builds launch in three to four months: Panorama Education launched in three, and Salesloft's 10,000-page consolidation in four. Projects start at $50,000 and typically run from $50,000 to $500,000+, depending on the number of templates, the size of the content migration, and integrations. Every project includes post-launch support.
