FAQ
Questions I get on this skill.
Headless vs traditional WordPress u2014 which is right for me?
Headless makes sense when you need a custom frontend, multi-channel content delivery, or strict performance requirements. I help you evaluate the trade-offs honestly.
Do you work with WPGraphQL or REST API?
Both. WPGraphQL for complex data relationships; REST API for simpler setups or when third-party tools require it.
