Frequently Answered Questions

Everything about our headless WordPress development services

What is headless WordPress?

WordPress manages the content; a separate front end (usually Next.js) displays it. They talk through an API.

Is headless right for my site?

It pays off for high-traffic, multi-channel or app-like sites. For a standard marketing site, a fast traditional build is often cheaper and just as quick. We'll advise honestly.

Will editors lose the visual editor or preview?

No. We build block-to-component mapping and live preview so the editing experience stays familiar.

Do WordPress plugins still work on a headless build?

Backend plugins (SEO fields, forms data, ACF) do. Plugins that output front-end markup need a React equivalent, which we plan for in discovery.

How does headless WordPress affect SEO?

Done right, it improves it. We use server rendering, managed metadata and sitemaps so search engines see complete pages.

How long does a headless WordPress build take?

Typically 8–16 weeks depending on content model and integrations.

Can you convert my existing WordPress site to headless?

Yes. We keep your content and admin, and replace the theme with a new front end.
