Headless WordPress

The pitch is real: you get WordPress's editorial experience and content model with a fast, modern front-end you can shape without theme constraints. The catch is operational — you now run two systems instead of one, with two deploy pipelines, two hosting bills, and two failure modes.

Our rule: headless wins when you have either (a) a heavy, interactive front-end where theme PHP would slow you down, or (b) editorial volume high enough that the editor experience matters more than the simplicity. Otherwise block-themed WordPress is usually the better answer.

We tell you which fits on the discovery call, not before.
