About This Service
Love editing in WordPress but tired of slow, clunky front ends? Go headless: keep WordPress as your content backend and I'll build a fast, modern Next.js frontend on top of it.
Your editors keep the WordPress they know. Your visitors get a site that loads instantly and ranks well. I know both sides deeply — 12 years of WordPress and 3+ years of production Next.js.
What you get
- A decoupled setup: WordPress backend + Next.js frontend
- Content pulled via the WP REST API or WPGraphQL
- Fast, server-rendered pages with great SEO
- Your existing content and editing workflow preserved
- Deployed and documented
How I Work
How I work
- Assess your WordPress — content types, plugins, and what needs to carry over.
- Wire the data layer — REST API or GraphQL, cleanly typed.
- Build the Next.js frontend — fast, responsive, SEO-ready.
- Match & migrate — preserve URLs and SEO so rankings don't drop.
- Deploy & hand over — live, with docs for your team.
Why clients trust me
- 12+ years shipping to production — not tutorials, real products used by real people.
- Proof, not promises — I've built ReviewX (10,000+ active users), a WooCommerce reviews SaaS on Laravel, and open-source WordPress tools with 5,000+ installs.
- Clear communication — you get regular updates, honest timelines, and a developer who actually replies.
- Clean, documented, maintainable code — so you (or your next developer) are never stuck.
- AI-accelerated delivery — I use agentic AI coding to compress what used to take months into weeks, without cutting corners on quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do my editors keep using WordPress?▾
Yes — that's the whole point. The WordPress admin and editing experience stay exactly the same. Only the public frontend changes.
Will I lose my SEO rankings?▾
Not if it's done carefully — I preserve URLs, add redirects where needed, and keep metadata intact so rankings carry over. Often speed gains *help* SEO.
REST API or GraphQL?▾
Both work — I'll pick based on your content complexity. WPGraphQL is great for rich, nested content; the REST API is simpler for straightforward sites.
Does ACF work headless?▾
Yes — Advanced Custom Fields exposes cleanly to both REST and GraphQL, and I use it regularly in headless builds.
Do I own everything?▾
Completely — both the WordPress config and the Next.js source are yours.
Why headless?
- Speed — Next.js front ends load far faster than typical WordPress themes.
- Security — your WordPress admin isn't publicly exposed on the front end.
- Flexibility — build any UI you want without theme constraints.
- Familiar editing — your team keeps the WordPress workflow they know.
