Headless WordPress development
Keep the editor your team knows. Serve the site from a fast Next.js front end.
What is included
The usual scope. We adjust it to your systems, team and budget, in writing, before work starts.
- WPGraphQL or REST API setup
- A Next.js front end with preview and draft workflows
- Caching and revalidation so edits appear quickly
- A redirect and metadata plan so a migration keeps its search visibility
- Documentation for editors and developers
A straight answer
Headless costs more to build and maintain than a good traditional theme, and some plugins stop working. If a well-built theme will do the job, we will tell you.
How it runs
Understand
We agree on your audience, goals, constraints and what success has to look like before anything is designed.
Plan
You get a page structure, a written scope and a delivery sequence, so you know what is being built and in what order.
Build
We work in visible increments with a working preview you can click through, and review points along the way.
Launch and improve
We check the launch, watch the essentials, and agree the next improvement based on what the numbers show.
Headless WordPress: common questions
Will our editors notice a difference?
They keep the same WordPress dashboard. Preview works through the new front end, and we document anything that changes.
Which plugins still work?
Plugins that manage content and data usually keep working. Plugins that change the front end, like page builders and some form or SEO tools, need a replacement. We audit them first.
What happens if the front end goes down?
Pages are pre-rendered and cached, so a WordPress outage does not take the public site down. Hosting and monitoring are part of the plan.
