Can non-technical team members still edit content easily?

Yes. By introducing a modern headless CMS (like Sanity, Strapi, or Headless WordPress), your marketing team gets an intuitive visual editing interface with live previews and permission controls.

Can we modernize incrementally without doing a complete rip-and-replace?

Yes. Using reverse proxy routing (e.g. Nginx or Cloudflare Workers), we can migrate high-priority sections like marketing or product pages to Next.js while keeping legacy systems running until they are replaced.
