Headless WordPress Development

One Content Hub. Every Screen.

WordPress can feed far more than a website. AlphaWeb uses the WordPress REST API to power mobile apps, web apps and other channels from one place your editors already know.

When Headless Makes Sense

We recommend it only when it fits.

Many channels

The same content must reach a website, iOS and Android apps and other screens.

App experiences

Your product needs app style interactions a theme cannot deliver.

Familiar editing

Editors keep the WordPress dashboard while developers choose the front end.

What We Deliver

Decoupled WordPress done carefully.

Architecture review

An honest look at whether headless or a block theme fits better.

Custom REST API endpoints

Secure endpoints shaped for your apps and front ends.

Mobile apps from WordPress

Authentication and SSO

Logins and user data shared across web and app.

Editorial previews

Workflows so editors can see content before it publishes.

Performance and caching

Headless WordPress FAQs

Do we need headless?

Often not. A well built block theme is simpler for many sites. We will tell you which fits.

Can WordPress power our mobile app?

Yes. Our AppPresser team builds iOS and Android apps driven by WordPress content.

Will editors lose the WordPress experience?

No. Editors keep the dashboard they know.

Is the REST API secure?

Yes, with proper authentication, permissions and caching, which we configure.

Can we start with a website and add an app later?

Yes. We design the content model so an app can be added later.
