Back-end and front-end often mean server-side and client(browserside respectively, eg Front-end developer.

So to be clear, headless CMSs have an admin-facing front-end and back-end to manage content, but only an API for a process to render the content into HTML/CSS/JS for visitors.

That said, headless CMSs can be used for more than just websites.
