Headless WordPress development
Need app-like speed, omnichannel publishing or enterprise scalability? Headless WordPress decouples the CMS from the frontend. We use WordPress for content and modern frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue or Angular for the interface, delivering exceptional performance and flexibility without sacrificing editorial ease.
| Criteria | Traditional WordPress | Headless WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Fast with proper caching and optimization | Very fast with static or SSR, granular control |
| Frontend flexibility | Theme-based, PHP templating | Modern JS frameworks, component-driven UX |
| Use cases | Marketing sites, blogs, SMB eCommerce | Enterprise, multi-region, apps and omnichannel |
We help you choose the right approach for your goals, traffic profile and team, then implement a secure, scalable stack with CI/CD, testing and observability.

How much does WordPress development cost?
Costs vary by scope and complexity. As a reference, small business websites with custom design typically start around 5k-15k USD. Advanced marketing sites or stores with integrations often range 15k-60k+. Enterprise or headless WordPress builds, multi-language or multi-site setups can be 60k-200k+. Ongoing maintenance and optimization commonly runs 500-5k USD per month depending on SLAs and feature roadmaps. We provide a scoped estimate after a short discovery call.
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
Rates depend on seniority, region and stack. Typical ranges: experienced freelancers 40-100 USD per hour, specialist agencies 100-180 USD per hour, enterprise and headless specialists 150-250 USD per hour. Fixed-fee projects are common for clearly defined scopes. Beyond the rate, consider code quality, security practices, performance expertise and support responsiveness to assess total value.
Why are some teams moving away from WordPress?
Often due to plugin bloat, slow hosting, poor code quality or outdated setups that create security and performance issues. Modern WordPress, built with a lean architecture, strict security and performance practices, remains a top-tier CMS. For app-like experiences or omnichannel needs, headless WordPress combines editorial simplicity with a modern frontend for speed and flexibility without abandoning WordPress.
