Architecture headless (or "headless") decouples the content management part (backend) from the presentation part (frontend). This approach offers greater flexibility, better performance and increased security for your digital projects, whether it is a CMS (like WordPress in headless mode), an e-commerce store, or a web application. Geekworkers, a web development in Lausanne, is an expert in designing and implementing headless solutions. We use modern frontend technologies (React, Vue.js, Next.js, Nuxt.js) that consume data via APIs from your backend (headless CMS, headless e-commerce platform, or custom backend).
Choose the frontend technology of your choice (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) to create rich and personalized user experiences, independent of the backend.
Headless sites are often much faster because the frontend can be optimized separately (eg: static sites generated with Next.js/Nuxt.js, served via CDN).
By decoupling the backend (where the data and logic are) from the frontend (publicly accessible), you reduce the attack surface of your system.
The same backend (headless CMS, headless e-commerce) can power multiple different frontends : website, mobile application, connected objects, etc. It is a key approach of our Web Developments.
In a headless architecture, the backend (e.g. a CMS like WordPress, or an e-commerce platform) only manages content and data, and exposes them via an API (often REST or GraphQL). The frontend (e.g. a React site or mobile app) is a separate application that consumes this data via the API to display them to the user. There is no "theme" managed by the backend. Our experts in Lausanne explain this to you in detail.
Using WordPress in headless mode allows you to benefit from its user-friendly administration interface to manage content, while having an ultra-efficient and flexible frontend built with modern technologies like React or Next.js. This offers the best of both worlds.
Headless is particularly relevant for projects that require very high performance, great frontend design flexibility, an omnichannel strategy, or increased securityFor simpler sites or with more constrained budgets, a traditional monolithic approach may still be valid.
Modern JavaScript frameworks like React (with Next.js for server rendering and static generation), Vue.js (with Nuxt.js), or Svelte (with SvelteKit) are very popular for building fast and interactive headless frontends.
Headless development can be more complex initially because it involves managing two separate applications (frontend and backend) and setting up a robust API. This may therefore represent a higher initial development cost. However, the gains in performance, flexibility and maintainability can make it profitable in the long run.
