I will migrate your wordpress website to a headless react or nextjs frontend
PHPbyAdnan
About this gig
WordPress themes get slower every year, plugins pile up, page builders bloat every request, and Google notices before your visitors do.
I migrate WordPress sites to a headless setup: WordPress stays exactly where it is as your CMS (your team keeps the dashboard they already know), and a Next.js/React frontend takes over rendering, typically cutting load times to a fraction of a traditional WP build.
What's included: WordPress connected via REST API or WPGraphQL, a custom Next.js frontend (SSR/SSG), full redirect mapping so your URLs and search rankings survive the move, responsive design, and deployment to Vercel or your host of choice.
Honest note. Headless is a real upgrade for content-heavy or high-traffic sites, but it's overkill for a 3-page brochure site. Send me your URL and I'll tell you straight whether it's worth it for your case before you spend anything.

FAQ
Do I still manage content through WordPress after this?
Yes. Your WordPress dashboard stays exactly as it is - you keep writing posts and editing pages the same way. Only the part visitors see (the frontend) changes to Next.js.
Will I lose my Google rankings during the migration?
No, if it's done properly. I map every existing URL to its new equivalent and preserve metadata, sitemaps, and structured data, which is the step that gets rankings lost when skipped.
REST API or WPGraphQL - which do you use?
Depends on your site. WPGraphQL is usually better for complex content structures and custom fields; REST API is simpler and faster to set up for straightforward sites. I'll recommend one after reviewing your content.
Will WooCommerce still work after going headless?
Yes - I can connect WooCommerce through the WordPress or Storefront API so your product catalog, cart, and checkout still work behind the new frontend.
Is headless actually worth it for my site?
Depends on size and traffic. Content-heavy sites, blogs with real traffic, and stores usually see a big speed and SEO gain. A small brochure site often doesn't need it - I'll tell you honestly if a simpler fix is a better fit before you order.
How long does a migration take?
5 days for a small audit-scope migration, up to 18 days for a full 10-page platform with WooCommerce. Message me your page count for an exact timeline.
Where do you deploy the finished site?
Usually Vercel for the Next.js frontend, with WordPress staying on your existing host. I can also deploy to your own infrastructure if you prefer.
What if I need changes after delivery?
Bug fixes tied to the delivered scope are covered. New features or additional pages beyond the original scope would be a separate order.
