WordPress Without Limits

The Ultimate Content Management API

We configure WordPress strictly as a backend content engine. By stripping away the theme layer, we unlock raw performance, enhanced security, and complete data structure flexibility via GraphQL and REST APIs.

Content First, Markup Later

In a headless setup, WordPress stops worrying about how to display content and focuses entirely on managing it. This shift transforms your CMS into a powerful data hub.
Our Backend Strategy:
  • Zero-Theme Environment: We disable frontend themes entirely, saving server resources and removing potential attack vectors.
  • Structured Data Modeling: We don’t just dump text into a generic editor. We build robust content models that reflect your specific business logic.
  • API-First Architecture: Every piece of content is instantly available via secure JSON endpoints.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro

Standard posts and pages are rarely enough. We leverage ACF Pro to create bespoke editing experiences tailored to your team’s workflow.
What We Implement:
  • Flexible Content Blocks: Drag-and-drop page builders defined by data, not HTML. Editors can build complex layouts without touching code.
  • Relationship Fields: Connect products to authors, services to case studies, and events to locations—creating a web of interconnected data.
  • Custom Options Pages: Global settings for site-wide data like company info, social links, and API keys.
  • Validation Logic: Ensure data integrity by enforcing required fields, character limits, and format rules before saving.

Enterprise-Grade Form Management

We integrate Gravity Forms to handle complex data collection needs. Instead of building custom form handlers from scratch, we leverage the robust ecosystem of Gravity Forms via API.
Form Capabilities:
  • Complex Logic: Conditional logic, multi-page forms, and file uploads handled natively by the CMS.
  • Notifications: Automated email routing and Slack/Teams notifications upon submission.
  • Integrations: Native connections to HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, and Mailchimp.
  • Headless Submission: Forms are rendered on the frontend but submit securely to the WordPress REST API, triggering all backend workflows seamlessly.

Fortifying the Core

 Without a frontend theme, many standard WordPress vulnerabilities disappear, but we go further to lock down the API.
Security Measures:
  • Disable XML-RPC: Closing legacy gateways that are often targeted by brute-force attacks.
  • JWT Authentication: Implementing JSON Web Tokens for secure, stateless authentication for non-public API endpoints.
  • User Role Capability Mapping: Ensuring API consumers (apps, frontends) only have read access, while editors have write access.
  • Endpoint Obfuscation: Changing default API paths to reduce automated scraping.
