Strapi is a headless CMS or content management system. A CMS is designed to manage content of a website. A headless CMS is a CMS that does not have a frontend, only a backend API. There's no web page for users to interact with; all the work is done on the backend, and all interactions are done via APIs.
TODO: Fill this out in simplified form with screenshots.
