Headless Development
Flexible publishing. A considered technical foundation.
Assess and build a separate content and presentation architecture where it suits your website, integrations and team’s long-term needs.
What we can work on together.
Start with the areas that matter most to your organisation. We shape the following capabilities into a defined project or an ongoing scope, with clear priorities and responsibilities.
Architecture assessment
Compare headless and conventional approaches against your editorial needs, integrations and maintenance capacity.
Content modelling
Define reusable content types and relationships around the channels and experiences you need to support.
Frontend development
Build the agreed interface and connect it to content and business systems through documented integrations.
Editorial and release workflows
Plan previews, publishing, deployment and ongoing support so both editors and developers can work with the system.
Part of your wider digital picture.
Headless Development works best when it connects to the rest of your business. Through Cornerstone Partnerships, we can coordinate this work with the relevant brand, website and marketing priorities in one ongoing programme.
A clear process, from brief to delivery.
Your specialists work from the same brief, with priorities and review points agreed with your team.
Understand the context
We discuss the business, review the available material and clarify what the work needs to achieve.
Agree the scope
We define deliverables, responsibilities and review points so your team knows what is included and what we need from you.
Deliver together
We coordinate the agreed work with your team, share progress and raise decisions or dependencies as they arise.
Review the next steps
We review the delivery and relevant feedback, then agree whether further improvements or ongoing support would be useful.
