I will build a headless wordpress site with rest API integration
Arslan Ejaz
About this gig
I set up headless WordPress builds where WordPress handles the content and backend, and a modern frontend like React or Next.js handles the actual site the user sees. This gives you faster load times, more design flexibility, and a cleaner separation between content and presentation.
I work with the WordPress REST API and can build custom endpoints when the default ones don't cover what you need. I also have experience connecting WordPress to mobile apps and external systems through APIs, so if you need WordPress to talk to another platform, I can set that up too.
This is a good fit if you already have a frontend built and just need WordPress wired up as the content backend, or if you're planning a new project and want a decoupled setup from the start.

FAQ
What exactly is headless WordPress?
It means WordPress is used only for managing content and data through its backend, while a separate frontend, like React or Next.js, handles what visitors actually see. The two communicate through the REST API instead of WordPress rendering the pages directly.
Do I need to already have a frontend built?
No. I can work either way, if you already have a frontend and just need WordPress connected as the backend, or if you're starting from scratch and want the whole decoupled setup built from the ground up.
What if the default WordPress REST API doesn't cover what I need?
I build custom REST API endpoints for specific data or functionality that the default API doesn't expose. Just tell me what your frontend needs to access and I'll set it up.
Can WordPress connect to something other than a website, like a mobile app?
Yes. I've connected WordPress to mobile apps and other external systems through APIs before, so if you need WordPress to serve as a backend for something beyond a typical website, that's possible too.
Do you handle ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) setup as well?
Yes, ACF integration is included in the Standard and Premium packages, since it's often needed to structure custom content for headless builds.
Will I get documentation for the API endpoints?
Full API documentation is included in the Premium package. It's not included in Basic or Standard by default, but can be added if needed.
What technologies do you work with for the frontend side?
I mainly work with React and Next.js for headless frontends, and I can advise on the best setup depending on what your project needs.
