I will build a headless wordpress site with a fast nextjs frontend


About this gig
Your WordPress site is slow because WordPress is rendering every page. Headless fixes that. WordPress stays as the admin your team already knows, and a Next.js frontend serves the pages.
Editors keep the same dashboard. Visitors get a site that loads in well under a second.
What you get: your existing WordPress content pulled through the REST or GraphQL API into a Next.js frontend, deployed to Vercel, with your URLs preserved so your rankings survive the move. Images, fonts and layout shift all handled properly on the way through.
I map the redirects first, not last. That is the step people skip, and it is why most replatforms lose traffic.
Tell me your current site and roughly how many pages and posts it has, and I will tell you whether headless is actually worth it for you. On a small brochure site it often is not, and I will say so before you order.

FAQ
Will my WordPress admin still work the same?
Yes. WordPress stays exactly as it is for your editors, same dashboard, same workflow. Only the public facing frontend changes, so nobody on your team has to learn a new tool.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if the redirects are mapped properly, which I do before building rather than after. Your URLs stay the same wherever possible, and anything that has to change gets a permanent 301 redirect.
Do I need to move my hosting?
The WordPress backend can stay exactly where it is. The Next.js frontend gets deployed to Vercel, which has a free tier that covers most business sites comfortably.
Is headless worth it for a small site?
Often not. Under about ten pages with no traffic problem, a straightforward WordPress speed pass is cheaper and gets you most of the benefit. I will tell you that before you order rather than after.
Can you keep my existing design?
Yes. I can rebuild your current design in the Next.js frontend, or redesign it while we are in there. Rebuilding what you already have is faster and cheaper, and most people start there.
What about my plugins?
That is the first thing to check. Plugins that render frontend output, like sliders, forms and page builders, need replacing on the Next.js side. Send me your plugin list and I will flag which ones actually matter before you order.
