“All vendor websites look the same today.” That was an observation volleyed by Andrew Kumar of Uniform at a recent Boye & Co CMS Experts session in Toronto. Is he right?

I’ll say it: the word “headless” isn’t exactly a great catch. Or catchy, for that matter. I’m not alone in this opinion (or malady, take your pick). It suffers a multitude of problems, but mostly a basic lack of brand appeal. We all get it. The idea of “cutting off” a head – be it from a fish or a presentation layer – is intuitive enough.

The soiree started back in 2023 when the two announced an expanded partnership designed to streamline the building of AI apps and bring more Salesforce products to the AWS Marketplace.
