Challenge
Many clients need content editing, but they do not always need WordPress to control the whole visible experience.
Solution
I analyzed a decoupled approach where WordPress serves content and the frontend is built with modern tools and stronger visual control.
Outcome
A technical base for projects where clients need content editing without sacrificing experience.
Results
- Clear route for projects with a familiar CMS
- Better separation between content and presentation
- Foundation for faster, more maintainable websites
