Our Capabilities

WordPress as Headless CMS

Use WordPress purely as a content management layer via REST API or GraphQL — decoupled from any front-end rendering concerns.

Next.js Frontend Development

Lightning-fast React frontends built with Next.js, leveraging SSR, SSG and ISR for optimal performance and SEO.

WPGraphQL Integration

Strongly typed GraphQL API for WordPress via WPGraphQL — fetch exactly the data your frontend needs in a single round trip.

ISR & Static Generation

Incremental Static Regeneration keeps your statically generated pages fresh without a full rebuild — the best of both static and dynamic worlds.

Multi-Channel Content Delivery

Deliver the same WordPress content to your website, mobile app, digital signage, and any other channel through a single API.

Headless WooCommerce

Full WooCommerce functionality — cart, checkout, orders — delivered through a custom Next.js frontend for a superior shopping experience.

How we work

Fixed milestones, working software every fortnight, and no surprises on the invoice.

  1. 01

    Architecture Design

    We define the data flow between WordPress and your Next.js frontend, plan the API structure, authentication strategy, and CDN/caching layer before writing any code.

  2. 02

    WordPress API Setup

    Custom post types, fields (ACF/Meta Box), WPGraphQL schema configuration, and REST API endpoints set up and documented for your content model.

  3. 03

    Next.js Frontend

    Component-driven React development with TypeScript, static generation where possible, ISR for dynamic content, and full SEO metadata control via Next.js App Router.

  4. 04

    CDN & Deployment

    Deployment to Vercel or Netlify with edge caching, preview deployments for content editors, and on-demand ISR revalidation triggered by WordPress publish events.

Accountable partners, not outsourced vendors

How we price, who we staff and what happens after launch — the parts that decide whether a project actually lands.

Common questions

If your question is not here, a senior engineer will answer it within one working day.

Ask our team
  • Headless WordPress separates the content management back-end (WordPress admin) from the front-end presentation layer. Instead of WordPress rendering the HTML pages, it exposes content via REST API or GraphQL, and a separate application (like Next.js) handles rendering. The result is a dramatically faster, more flexible website.
