What is Headless WordPress development?
Headless WordPress development refers to a website structure where the backend content management system (CMS) is separated from the frontend design layer. Usually, WordPress manages both the content and how it’s displayed on the website, whereas with a headless WordPress agency, Frontend developers are not limited by the default WordPress themes. Instead, they’re able to create a completely custom user interface tailored to the specific needs of the website.

Why choose a Headless WordPress CMS?
Imagine using any building blocks you like to design your website. Headless WordPress lets you ditch the standard WordPress themes and use modern tools (like React or Vue.js) to create a completely custom user experience.
Need a special section to showcase your products? With a headless setup, you can create unique content types that perfectly match your needs, making your content super organized.
Your website can work seamlessly across any device, whether it’s a phone, tablet, or computer. Headless lets you deliver content through an API, ensuring a consistent experience no matter how someone accesses your site.

What is involved in a Headless WordPress CMS?
Headless CMS core
Manage content in the familiar WordPress interface.
API
The API bridges the gap, allowing your frontend to request content from the CMS.
Frontend Framework
Ditch themes and build a custom design using modern frameworks like React or Vue.js.
Performance optimisation
Headless setups leverage frontend techniques (code-splitting, image optimisation) to improve website speed, potentially reducing CDN reliance.
API Security
Secure measures control access to your content through the API.
Separation of concerns
Content management (WordPress) is separate from design (frontend framework) for flexibility, scalability, and security.
