(And how Laioutr fits in) A headless CMS decouples content management from the frontend and delivers content via an API – but you have to build and maintain the frontend yourself. That's exactly where Laioutr comes in: as a frontend layer in front of your headless CMS, you build storefronts fast, and marketing teams edit directly in the live storefront – no separate CMS tab, no developer tickets. ![Laioutr – Studio The Visual Page Builder](https://eu-west-2.graphassets.com/cmii2mlqi0dux06l5543v7nkc/resize=width:800/auto_image/cmlhz2yahp2nm08mm78v7l3fc) Visual Editing ## Visual editing right in the live storefront Laioutr sits as a frontend layer on top of your headless CMS and shows content changes instantly in your real storefront – not in a separate preview window. Inline editing, live preview, and drag-and-drop: marketing edits pages exactly as customers see them. No developer ticket for every text fix. No context switch into the CMS tab. Editing happens right where the content lives: in the commerce frontend. [See the Visual Editor in action](https://laioutr.com/en/shop-demos) ![About Laioutr For business and marketing teams](https://eu-west-2.graphassets.com/cmii2mlqi0dux06l5543v7nkc/resize=width:800/auto_image/cmk2md0ushhwc07mlkiqyl70s) ## For marketing teams: visual preview set up in minutes How do you set up a visual preview for the marketing team?

Laioutr sits as a frontend and editing layer on top of your existing stack – Storyblok, Hygraph, or Contentful remain your content source. In the composable commerce stack this means: your headless CMS for content, your commerce engine for products, Laioutr as the connecting frontend and presentation layer.

Laioutr doesn't replace your CMS, it adds exactly the visual frontend layer that pure headless CMS tools don't bring: content becomes visible and editable directly in the real storefront. The result: fast-built frontends and comfortable visual editing – without replacing your existing content system. [Laioutr and Storyblok compared](https://www.laioutr.com/en/laioutr-und-storyblok-im-vergleich) ✅ Accessibility ## GDPR-compliant with hosting in Europe Built for German and European teams: Laioutr is a GDPR-compliant frontend platform with hosting in Europe. No data detours, clear data processing agreements, EU data centers. Together with your headless CMS, that's how you meet the GDPR requirements that authorities and enterprises place on their stack. ![WCAG Accessible by design](https://eu-west-2.graphassets.com/cmii2mlqi0dux06l5543v7nkc/resize=width:1600/auto_image/cmj8pfea6acrt07mn95jifdm5) What is a headless CMS? A headless CMS separates content management from the frontend and delivers content via an API. That way you use the same content model for web, app, and other channels. Laioutr adds the frontend and visual editing layer directly in the storefront – so frontends come together fast. How do I set up a CMS with a visual preview for my marketing team? In three steps: connect the storefront, release page templates, invite the team. After that, marketing edits content with a live preview directly in the real storefront – no development effort, no separate CMS tab. How does my headless CMS get real visual editing? Laioutr sits as a frontend layer on top of your headless CMS and is built for marketer-friendly visual editing: inline editing, drag-and-drop, and live preview directly in the storefront – instead of an abstract input form in the CMS backend. Headless CMS vs. DXP – what's the difference? A headless CMS manages content; a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) orchestrates the entire experience stack. Laioutr connects both for commerce – more on this on our Composable DXP page. What is an agentic CMS? An agentic CMS uses AI agents that create, translate, and optimize content – on-brand and in the context of the storefront. It's the next level after the classic headless CMS. ## Your next step The overarching topic, related pages and matching solutions. ### Headless CMS Manage text, images and video centrally in Laioutr and deliver them to every channel via the Delivery and Management API.
