Why go headless
Every reason to decouple. Zero reasons to delay.
Each of these advantages is available to you from day one of a headless conversion — and compounds over time as your content, traffic and team grow.
Blazing fast performance
Perfect Lighthouse scores
A smaller attack surface
Scale without limits
Content everywhere
Future-proof architecture
How it works
Drupal as the brain. Any framework as the face.
In a headless architecture, Drupal manages your content, permissions and editorial workflows exactly as before. The difference is what happens at the public URL — instead of Drupal rendering HTML on every request, a pre-built front-end serves pages from a CDN in milliseconds.
- Editors continue using the Drupal admin they know
- JSON:API exposes all content as structured data
- Front-end framework fetches and renders at build time
- CDN serves static assets to visitors worldwide
- Drupal server never touched by public traffic

Our process
From traditional Drupal to headless in weeks, not months.
A proven five-step process refined across dozens of headless projects — from small business sites to complex enterprise platforms.
Discovery & Architecture Review
We audit your existing Drupal site — content types, views, integrations and editorial workflows — and design a decoupled architecture that preserves everything your team relies on.
API Layer Configuration
We configure Drupal's JSON:API and any required custom endpoints, set up authentication for preview routes, and establish a robust content delivery pipeline.
Front-End Build
Your new front-end is built in the framework that best suits your team — typically Next.js for maximum performance and SEO — with full parity against your existing site.
Testing & Optimisation
Comprehensive cross-browser QA, accessibility testing to WCAG 2.2 AA, and performance tuning until Lighthouse scores are where they should be.
Launch & Handover
Zero-downtime cutover, DNS migration and a full knowledge-transfer session for your team. Ongoing support plans available from day one.
