Headless WordPress, with Next.js.
Keep the WordPress editor your team knows, and put a fast Next.js front end in front of it.
What is headless WordPress?
Headless WordPress uses WordPress only for editing content. A separate front end, in our case Next.js, fetches that content through the WordPress REST or GraphQL API and shows it to visitors. Editors keep the WordPress dashboard; visitors get a faster site with less for attackers to target.
Headless WordPress splits the editor from the website. Your team writes in WordPress as usual, and visitors get a Next.js site that loads fast and exposes far less to attack.

Headless WordPress FAQs
When speed, security or a custom front end matter more than plugin-driven features, or when you want an online store with a fast front end. For a simple content site, a well-built classic WordPress theme is often enough, and we will tell you so.
Hardly at all. They keep the WordPress editor they use today; we add previews so they can check pages before publishing.
Plugins that manage content, such as custom fields, keep working. Plugins that change the front end don’t, so we rebuild those features in Next.js.
Yes. We keep your content in WordPress, build the Next.js front end, and keep or redirect your URLs so search rankings carry over.
