REST API & Headless WordPress
The WordPress REST API turns a familiar CMS into a backend for anything — a React or Next.js frontend, a mobile app, a kiosk, or another system that needs your content.
I design and build custom endpoints with proper authentication (application passwords, JWT, or OAuth), response shaping so clients get exactly the fields they need, and caching so the API stays fast under load. Having built production systems on both sides — years of WordPress plus real Next.js applications — I’ll tell you honestly when headless is worth the added complexity and when a well-built classic theme serves you better.

Common questions about this service
Headless WordPress uses WordPress only as a content management backend. The frontend is built with modern frameworks like React or Next.js, fetching content via the REST API. This separates content management from presentation.
Yes, your content team continues using the familiar WordPress admin to create and manage content. The only difference is how that content is displayed to visitors — via a modern frontend instead of PHP templates.
Headless is ideal for multi-platform content delivery, high-performance sites, or when you need a custom frontend. For standard websites, a traditional WordPress setup is often simpler and more cost-effective.
Yes, I can transition your existing WordPress site to a headless architecture. The backend stays the same while I build a new frontend that consumes your content via API.
Defense in layers: expose only the routes the frontend actually needs, require authentication on everything that isn't public content, disable user-enumeration endpoints, validate and sanitize every parameter server-side, and rate-limit at the edge so scripted abuse can't hammer the database. Public content endpoints get cached aggressively, which protects the server and speeds up clients at the same time.
