The flexibility for developing and customizing
Brightspot’s architecture is based on four core tenets: easy to develop on, easy to operate, easy to troubleshoot and easy to customize. Have full control over your audience’s experience, wherever and whatever that may be.
Brightspot CMS for Developers
Brightspot CMS for Developers
If you choose a headless approach, you can deliver ready-to-consume, channel-agnostic data made available through a self-documenting GraphQL API, enabling two of the most important factors in content development: speed and flexibility.
Brightspot's API-first approach gives teams the ultimate flexibility without having to compromise on how the solution is implemented on the back end.
Our customers love Brightspot’s out-of-the-box front-end design system including fonts, color palettes an logos—and we give you full control to the front-end code, so you have the option to make it your own.
Inside the toolkit for development and customization
Brightspot’s forward-thinking architecture is designed to be flexible and fast—with built-in debugging tools, APIs and more, all designed to save development teams time and money.
