WordPress & Headless CMS

Content you can edit yourself, on a site built to last.

When your team needs to publish blog posts, update service pages, or add new team members on its own, I build on a content management system set up around how you work. That can mean a custom WordPress site with an editor you'll recognize, or a headless CMS like Strapi or Prismic paired with a fast, modern front end for sites and web apps that need more flexibility.

WordPress is still a great choice for content-heavy sites — blogs, news, resources, and service pages your team updates often — as long as it's built cleanly, with a custom theme and no pile of plugins slowing it down. For projects that outgrow a traditional site, a headless CMS keeps the easy editing experience but separates it from the front end, so the same content can power a website, a web app, or both, with the speed and flexibility of custom code. Try it in the Juniper & Rye demo, a made-up bakery whose owner edits the menu, hours, and specials and watches the site update live, or see what a custom front end can do on the Vantor demo site. Based in Richmond, IL, I work directly with business owners, marketing teams, and organizations across Northern Illinois and Southeast Wisconsin, with no agency account managers in between.
