How to Build a Website with a CMS and Remix
IntermediateQuick Answer
TL;DR
To build a website with a CMS and Remix, set up a headless CMS, scaffold a Remix project, install the CMS JavaScript SDK, fetch content in Remix `loader` functions (server-only), and render with React components. Remix's server-first architecture with nested routing and streaming makes it a strong match for headless CMS content delivery.
Key Takeaways
- Remix `loader` functions run exclusively on the server — ideal for CMS API calls with private tokens
- Nested routes with nested loaders enable parallel CMS data fetching for complex page layouts
- Remix's `defer` + `Await` pattern streams slow CMS data without blocking the initial page render
