Headless CMS development: separating content from its presentation.
A headless CMS manages content separately from the website or application that displays it. Content is delivered through APIs, so the same material can support different frontends. This approach is useful when publishing requirements, integrations, or custom experiences need more flexibility than a theme-based website provides.
Content-rich publishing platforms
Publishers can organize articles, authors, topics, and media in one CMS while building a reading experience around their audience. The editorial setup can remain consistent as the frontend evolves.
Content across multiple channels
Organizations publishing to websites, apps, and other digital channels can reuse structured content across those experiences. Teams maintain the underlying information without recreating each item for every destination.
Custom websites and applications
A separate frontend gives development teams control over interactions, layouts, and rendering. This can suit websites with complex interfaces or requirements that are difficult to accommodate in an existing theme.
Content-led ecommerce
Stores can combine product information from their commerce platform with editorial content from a CMS. Buying guides, campaign pages, and product storytelling can be managed without making the CMS responsible for checkout.
Multiple brands or websites
A shared content foundation can support several sites with different designs and publishing needs. Content models and permissions determine what can be reused and what each team controls independently.
Existing CMSs with frontend constraints
A business may be able to retain its existing CMS while replacing the presentation layer. Headless WordPress is one example, provided the content model and integrations support the new architecture.
Real projects. Real results.
Fiore Designs uses a Next.js storefront with WordPress and WooCommerce managing content, products, and orders. The separate frontend gives the business a shopping experience built around its floral products and services.
Teton Gravity Research moved more than 10,000 articles from ExpressionEngine to a headless WordPress platform, bringing Shopify products and video into the publishing workflow.
What our headless CMS development services cover.
- 01
CMS Selection and Architecture
We assess editorial workflows, channels, integrations, and ownership requirements before recommending a CMS and frontend approach. The architecture accounts for daily publishing as well as technical requirements.
- 02
Content Models and Editorial Workflows
We define content types, reusable fields, relationships, and validation rules around what your team publishes. Editing interfaces and preview workflows help authors work confidently within that structure.
- 03
Headless Frontend Development
We build the website or application that presents your content, including page templates, navigation, search interfaces, and responsive behavior. Rendering and caching are planned around the experience and update frequency.
- 04
API and System Integration
Connect content with commerce, search, CRM, newsletters, and other services. We define how systems exchange updates and handle failures so the publishing workflow has clear dependencies.
- 05
Content Migration
We map existing content into the new model, transform formats, and account for media, relationships, URLs, and metadata. Trial imports reveal structural issues before the final move.
- 06
Launch and Ongoing Development
We test publishing, previews, integrations, and content delivery before launch. Continued support can cover performance, workflow improvements, and the separate systems that make up the platform.
Let’s talk Let’s talk
"Their project manager was among the best I've worked with. They migrated 1,000+ articles, handled testing through production, and let our team focus elsewhere without micromanaging."
"For a stretch, Refact was effectively our whole engineering team, and it never once felt that way. They moved with us as we grew five times over, shipped what we needed when we needed it, and treated the product as if it were their own."
"They’re very knowledgeable and want to understand my company and my needs. The team isn’t just trying to sell me something; they’re trying to help me reach my business goals and objectives."
How we work.
Everything stays connected under one team from the earliest conversations. The people who help define the project are the same people who design, build and support it, ensuring important decisions are not lost between separate partners and the work stays consistent throughout.

We understand your current state, define the future state, and shape the right solution, resulting in a clear project blueprint that guides the work ahead.
Design
We translate the agreed direction into user journeys, screens, and interactive flows your team can review before development begins.
Build
Senior engineers turn the approved direction into a fast, reliable and maintainable digital product, thoroughly tested across the devices and environments your users rely on.
