The Problem
- A legacy monolith kept content and presentation tightly coupled, slowing page delivery and making front-end changes risky to ship.
- Editorial and engineering releases were locked together, so publishing content meant waiting on full-stack deployments.
The Solution
- Decoupled the CMS into a headless WordPress backend that exposes content through WPGraphQL and the WordPress REST API.
- Built a Next.js frontend with a preview pipeline so content ships independently of front-end deployments.
- Separated concerns let editorial and engineering release on their own cadence without blocking each other.
Tech stack
This headless WordPress build decouples the CMS from the presentation layer: content is authored in WordPress and delivered to a Next.js frontend over WPGraphQL and the REST API. The result is a flexible, front-end-agnostic architecture where editorial and engineering can move at independent speeds.
