In today's fast-moving digital world, websites need to stay updated and relevant — especially during seasonal changes like the monsoon. At Yug Web India, we specialize in creating smart, flexible websites using powerful technologies like PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript.
This blog will guide you on how to use a Headless CMS approach to update your content automatically based on weather or location, using tools like Laravel Scheduler, Weather APIs, and smart content systems. Whether it's showing a rainy-season offer or changing homepage banners by city, we’ll show how you can do it easily — the Yug Web India way.
Let’s dive into building season-aware, smart websites for your users this monsoon!
1. What is Headless CMS (in simple terms)?
Your content (like blogs, banners, offers) is stored separately from design.
You can update anything via admin panel or API – no frontend change needed.
2. Why Use It for Monsoon?
Automatically show monsoon-related blogs, offers, or product banners.
Detect city-wise weather and change content using Weather APIs.
Example: “Show raincoat offer only in cities where it’s raining.”
Technologies You Can Use (PHP Stack):
Frontend (UI & Display):
Use JavaScript along with Laravel Blade Templates for dynamic frontend rendering.
Ajax or Fetch API can be used to call backend APIs and update banners or content without reloading the full page.
CMS (Content Management):
Use Laravel Nova, Statamic, or build a custom Laravel CMS to manage website content efficiently.
All content can be stored in MySQL and retrieved using Laravel API routes for frontend display.
Serverless or Scheduled Updates:
Use Laravel Scheduler for time-based tasks or Laravel Queues for background job execution.
Example: Automatically fetch weather data for selected cities every hour and update content accordingly.
Weather API Integration:
Integrate OpenWeatherMap API to fetch current weather based on city name.
Use Laravel's HTTP client with Http::get() to call the API and update the content table or trigger alerts on the frontend.
