Everything Headra can do

One content engine for every kind of content, an API any website can use, and SEO that works even on static hosting.

Content

One engine handles every kind of content, so a type you create works exactly like a built-in one.

Custom content types, no code

Build recipes, products, case studies or anything else in the admin. Each new type instantly gets its own screens, API endpoints, permissions, SEO fields and sitemap.

Ready-made types

Posts, pages, events, testimonials, FAQ and team members, each switched on or off per website.

  • 15 field types: text, long text, rich text, number, yes/no, date, image, gallery, file, dropdown, multi-select, email, URL, relationship and repeater
  • Required fields and validation, with clear messages for editors
  • Rich text cleaned automatically, so pasted content can't break the site
  • Nested pages, with parents and children in the API
  • Nested categories and tags, each with their own SEO
  • Authors with a bio and social links
  • Search across titles and every text field

Publishing workflow and revisions

Every item moves through clear stages, and each step can be limited to the right people.

DraftReviewApprovedPublishedArchived
  • Writers submit, approvers approve or send back, publishers publish
  • Publishers can go straight from draft to live
  • Schedule posts to go live at a set time
  • Live content protected: changes need publish rights
  • Full history of every change: who, what and when
  • Compare any two versions, field by field
  • Restore an earlier version in one click

Content API

A fast, documented REST API that returns clean JSON. Every content type gets endpoints the moment it's created.

  • Paging, full-text search and sorting
  • Filter by category, tag or any custom field
  • Ask for only the fields you need
  • Images, authors, terms and related content in one response
  • Categories, tags, authors, menus and redirects too
  • Create, edit and publish through the API
  • Cached responses that refresh within seconds of a change
  • Callable from any domain

Public keys

Read-only and only see live content. Safe in website code.

Private keys

Full account access for your own server-side tools.

Personal keys

Belong to one person, with exactly their permissions.

SEO, built in

Headra handles SEO itself, so even a plain static website gets proper sitemaps, social cards and structured data.

  • Search title, description, canonical and robots on every item
  • Open Graph and Twitter cards
  • Smart fallbacks and a site-wide title template
  • Structured data: Article, BlogPosting, NewsArticle, Recipe, Event, Product and FAQ
  • sitemap.xml and robots.txt on your own domain, with images
  • Sitemaps rebuilt automatically when content changes
  • Address patterns per type, e.g. /blog/{year}/{slug}
  • Redirects manager with bulk import and loop checks

Agencies and multi-site

One Headra account runs all your clients' websites, with every website's content completely isolated from the others.

  • Several websites per account
  • Separate content, media, menus, SEO and keys per website
  • Switch features on or off for each website
  • Plans with clear limits, shown in the admin

Users, permissions and security

Decide exactly what each person can do, and on which website.

  • Account admins and team members
  • View, create, edit, delete, publish, approve and manage rights per area
  • Per website or across all websites
  • Editor, Author and Viewer roles ready to use
  • Two-factor sign-in with recovery codes
  • Sign-in rate limiting and idle session timeouts

Cookie-free analytics

See what people read without a cookie banner. Headra counts views as anonymous daily totals and stores nothing about the people visiting your websites. See exactly what's stored.

  • No cookies, so no cookie banner needed for Headra
  • No IP addresses, visitor IDs or tracking across sites
  • Built with GDPR, CCPA and other privacy laws in mind
  • Bots and crawlers ignored
  • Views per day and most-viewed content
  • One line of JavaScript, even on static hosting
  • View counting doesn't use your API allowance
  • API use, storage and an activity log of every change

Built-in help

Plain-English guides for every part of the admin, written for non-technical editors, plus a developer guide filled in for each website with copy-and-paste code.
