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.

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.
