Plan
Define content → API contracts → caching. Pick REST or GraphQL based on use-case, not fashion.
Architecture
Headless & APIs
Keep editing simple in WordPress. Ship a fast front-end in Next.js. Add only the APIs you need — typed, cached, and resilient.
Connected & flexible
Headless works best when the split is clear: editors get a straightforward CMS; the site gets a fast, resilient front-end. We design contracts that don’t surprise you later: typed responses, safe auth, and caching that keeps things snappy without stale bugs.
- Map content to API contracts before build
- Choose REST or GraphQL by fit — not hype
- Typed clients, predictable errors, graceful fallbacks
- Edge caching & revalidation with sensible TTLs
- Secure sessions & rate-limits without user pain

How we architect
Implement

Headless & APIs FAQs
Quick answers to common questions
01REST or GraphQL?
We choose by use-case. REST is great for stable resources and caching. GraphQL shines when clients need flexible shapes. We can support both if needed.
02Will editors still use WordPress?
Yes. Editors work in WordPress with ACF fields mapped to your content model. Publishing stays simple; the front-end stays fast and decoupled.
03How do you handle auth and security?
Role-based access, short-lived tokens, and secure session patterns. We add basic rate-limits, input validation, and clear error models from the start.
