AI + SEO Architecture Built-In

Headless WordPress Website Design Agency

Custom Next.js frontends. WordPress backends. Built for SEO and AI discoverability from day one.

As a specialist Headless WordPress Website Design Agency, we decouple your CMS from your frontend so your content team keeps WordPress, your site loads in under 100ms, and search engines (plus LLMs) can actually parse your content.

Projects from £18,000 | 8-week delivery | AI + SEO baked in

Built for growing SMEs who've outgrown their WordPress site

This is for you if:

Your site is slow and you've already tried caching plugins, faster hosting, and image optimization
You're losing rankings to competitors with better Core Web Vitals
You want to future-proof for AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)
Your dev team is tired of debugging plugin conflicts
You need a site that can scale with you over the next 2-3 years

Not for you if:

You need a quick refresh under £10K, or you're happy with a page builder. No hard feelings - headless is overkill for some businesses.

Expert FAQs: Headless WordPress

Everything SMEs need to know before going headless.

How long does a headless build take?

8 weeks from kickoff to launch. This includes discovery and architecture (2 weeks), frontend development (4 weeks), and integration plus QA (2 weeks).

What is the investment?

£18,000 - £35,000 depending on scope. Most projects for SMEs land around £22,000 - £28,000 for a comprehensive 10 - 15 page site with 2 - 3 key integrations.

Will my content team need training?

Minimal. Your team keeps using the WordPress dashboard they already know. The only difference is how the content is delivered - through a fast API instead of a slow theme.

What makes you different from a typical agency?

We specialise in headless builds optimised specifically for SEO and AI discoverability. Most agencies bolt SEO on at the end - we architect for it from day one. Plus, you're working directly with our specialist team, not a rotating cast of juniors.

Is headless overkill for my business?

Maybe. If you're running a simple brochure site with no performance or SEO issues, traditional WordPress is fine. Headless makes sense when speed directly affects your conversions, you're competing for top rankings, or you're planning for significant growth.
