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.

What is involved in a Headless WordPress CMS?

  1. Headless CMS core

    Manage content in the familiar WordPress interface.

  2. API

    The API bridges the gap, allowing your frontend to request content from the CMS.

  3. Frontend Framework

    Ditch themes and build a custom design using modern frameworks like React or Vue.js.

  4. Performance optimisation

    Headless setups leverage frontend techniques (code-splitting, image optimisation) to improve website speed, potentially reducing CDN reliance.

  5. API Security

    Secure measures control access to your content through the API.

  6. Separation of concerns

    Content management (WordPress) is separate from design (frontend framework) for flexibility, scalability, and security.
