Modern decoupled architecture featuring a WordPress CMS backend and a high-performance Next.js frontend.

Headless WordPress with Next.js

Project Overview

Architected and deployed a headless CMS solution for optimal performance and security. The backend resides on a managed WordPress instance via AWS Amplify, exposing data through the WP REST API. The frontend is a highly optimized Next.js application hosted on Vercel, utilizing Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) to deliver lightning-fast load times while maintaining dynamic content updates. This setup provides the best of both worlds: familiar content management for admins and a modern, secure developer experience.
