3-column overview

Introduction

This lab shows how TYPO3 as a pure frontend connects to three different headless CMS: Directus, Strapi, Payload. A unified connector swaps the data source live.

Approach

Schema-first: data model before UI. Live preview in every language.

  • Structured blocks instead of HTML blobs
  • Reusable components
  • Containers for layout
