Headless website development

Headless where it helps,
simpler where it doesn’t

A headless website separates your content system from the pages visitors see, so one source of content can serve several channels. We assess your publishing workflow, integrations and upkeep, and recommend a conventional site when it fits better.

A board director’s site,
built headless

We created the headless website for energy executive and board director Gaurdie E. Banister Jr., and we host and manage it.

Architecture assessment

Is headless right for your website?

How many channels need the same content? What do your editors need to preview? Who owns the frontend, deployment and integrations? The answers show whether headless is worth it for you.

The content model and publishing workflow matter as much as the interface when deciding whether the flexibility justifies the ongoing work.

Connected content,
clear ownership

Start with an architecture assessment or a headless build. We plan the work around your channels, integrations, publishing requirements and your team’s technical capacity.

01

Architecture assessment

We compare headless and conventional approaches against your editorial workflow, integrations and capacity to maintain them. You get a practical recommendation, with ownership and maintenance responsibilities clear from the start.

02

Reusable content models

We define content types, fields and relationships around what each channel needs to show. The structure follows how your team creates and reuses information.

03

Frontend and integrations

We build the interface and connect it to the CMS and the business systems it relies on. Integration behaviour, data flows and responsibilities are documented in the technical scope.

Editorial and release workflows

We plan previews, publishing and deployment for editors and developers alike. Clear review stages and support responsibilities show your team how a content change reaches the live site.

Working together

Different needs,
one architecture

Editors, developers and business stakeholders bring different requirements to the architecture. We make those visible before shaping the content model and build.

01

Check the fit

Review your current platform, content, channels and technical constraints. Establish the publishing tasks and integration requirements that the new approach must support.

02

Plan the architecture

Assess the architectural options and define the content model, frontend scope and workflow requirements. Agree responsibilities for hosting, releases and ongoing care.

03

Build and connect

Develop the structure and interface, connect content and systems, and review the publishing experience with the people who will use it.

04

Launch and review

Check the site as a visitor and as an editor, against the plan. Record who handles releases and support, and list the improvements to make next.

A technical foundation
your team can own

We agree who will manage content, deployments, integrations and maintenance after launch. Our ongoing support covers further development when you need it.
