WordPress Development Company in Bangalore

Go headless when a front-end team already ships React, when several channels need the same content, or when the marketing site must share components with the product. Keep a normal theme when editors rely on live previews, when your plugins render their own front-end output, or when nobody on your side will own a separate Node deployment. Headless adds a second application to host, monitor and release, so it should buy you something specific. We will tell you honestly if a block theme is the better fit.

Both ship well-supported routes. The REST API is in WordPress core, needs no extra plugin and suits simple lists and single entries. WPGraphQL is a plugin that lets the front end ask for exactly the fields and relationships a template needs in one request, which helps when pages combine posts, custom fields and menus. We choose per project, weigh plugin support for custom fields and forms, and put caching in front of whichever is used so the API is not hit on every visit.

Preview needs to be designed, not assumed. The usual pattern is a draft-mode route in the front end: the editor clicks Preview in WordPress, is sent to a secured URL on the front end with a short-lived token, and the page renders the latest draft revision instead of the cached copy. We build and test this early because it is the feature editors miss most after going headless. On a normal theme, preview works out of the box.

We cache in layers and invalidate on publish. Pages are generated ahead of time or on first request, stored at a CDN edge, and refreshed when WordPress sends a webhook after an editor publishes or updates an entry. The API behind it uses an object cache so repeated queries are cheap. The target is Google's published thresholds for a good experience at the 75th percentile: LCP of 2.5 seconds or less, INP of 200 milliseconds or less and CLS of 0.1 or less.

Yes, and it is one of the better uses of the block editor. Design tokens such as colours, type scale and spacing go into theme.json, and reusable layouts such as hero, feature grid, pricing table and testimonial become registered patterns or custom blocks. Editors then assemble pages from approved pieces and cannot drift off brand. For a headless build the same tokens are shared with the React components so the editor and the live site match.

They are integrations to plan, not plugins to drop in. We agree the event names and data layer with your analytics owner, load tags so they do not block rendering, and keep consent handling in one place. For A/B tests on a headless site, variants are normally chosen at the edge or in the front end so there is no flicker; on a theme they can be handled by your testing tool. Customer data platform connections are made server-side where possible.

Code lives in a Git repository, every pull request gets a preview environment, and automated checks run before merge: coding standards, tests where they exist, and a build of the front end. Releases go to staging first, are checked against real content, then promoted to production with a rollback path. Database and media sync rules are written down so staging content never overwrites live edits. The exact tooling is chosen to fit your hosting.

It can be, if writers want a visual editor, review workflow and search without touching Markdown. If your engineers prefer docs as Markdown in the same repository as the code, a docs generator is usually simpler and we will say so. A hybrid also works: the marketing site and blog on WordPress, and the versioned technical docs on a separate docs tool, linked with consistent navigation and a shared design system.

No. Our head office is in Navi Mumbai and we have a team in Bangalore, and projects run remotely with written scope, scheduled demos on a staging link and a monthly progress report. You can be anywhere in India or overseas. Working hours and communication channels are agreed in the proposal. If you want to talk it through first, the contact page is the quickest route.
