Headless CMS with a modern Astro or Next.js live site
I build headless CMS setups where your team keeps WordPress for editing, but visitors get a fast Astro or Next.js site - pre-rendered and ready for traffic spikes.
No PHP on every page view, no plugin stack on the public web - just pre-rendered pages that stay quick when traffic surges.

WordPress you already understand
Block editor, ACF, and custom post types - sensible models for pages, blogs, and landing pages.

Type-safe data fetching and production builds tuned for Core Web Vitals.
Fast global delivery
Static and edge-rendered pages on Cloudflare, Vercel, or Netlify.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose a headless CMS over a normal WordPress theme?
Headless keeps WordPress for content management and puts the visitor-facing site on Astro or Next.js, pre-rendered for speed. You get faster loads, safer public infrastructure, and room to grow without re-platforming editors.
Can my team still edit content in WordPress?
Yes. Editors use familiar workflows. Content syncs via WPGraphQL or REST, with preview and staging flows wired where needed.
Astro or Next.js - which do you recommend?
Astro suits content-led marketing sites. Next.js suits apps needing more client interactivity or complex routing. I recommend based on your model, not a default.
How is this priced?
Every project is scoped after a short discovery call, then quoted as a fixed price. Complexity depends on content models, integrations, search, multilingual setup, and preview workflows - I will give you a clear number before any build starts.
