We are looking for an experienced Headless WordPress developer or team to integrate a WordPress CMS backend with an existing React.js/Vite frontend application. The frontend website is already fully developed. The objective is to implement WordPress as a Headless CMS so the client can manage website content, pages, blogs, FAQs, and related content sections through a user-friendly WordPress dashboard while keeping the existing React/Vite frontend intact. *** This is NOT a website rebuild. The frontend already exists and must remain unchanged *** Existing Setup * Frontend: React.js + Vite * Target CMS: WordPress (Headless) Scope of Work Phase 1 – Headless WordPress Setup * Install and configure WordPress as a Headless CMS * Configure WPGraphQL (preferred) or WordPress REST API * Create a clean and scalable content architecture * Configure content models for: * Pages * Blog Posts * FAQs * Feature Content * Reusable content sections where appropriate Phase 2 – Frontend Integration * Connect the existing React/Vite frontend to WordPress * Fetch content dynamically from WordPress * Ensure content updates reflect correctly on the frontend * Implement appropriate API queries and data mapping Phase 3 – Content Management Enable content editors to manage: * Homepage content * pages * Integration pages * FAQs * Blog posts * General website content Estimated content-managed pages: Approximately 8–10 pages. Most pages contain relatively limited content, with only a few pages containing more extensive content sections. Phase 4 – Testing & Validation * Verify all frontend content renders correctly * Ensure no frontend design/layout regressions * Test all API integrations * Verify blog functionality * Verify FAQ functionality * Ensure content can be managed comfortably through WordPress Important Requirements Existing Frontend Must Remain Intact The project must NOT: * Rebuild the frontend * Change the existing UI/UX * Modify/Remove existing designs unnecessarily * Break existing layouts * Introduce frontend regressions The objective is CMS integration, not redesign. Ideal Experience Please apply only if you have proven experience with: * Headless WordPress * WPGraphQL * WordPress REST API * React.js * Vite * API integrations * Content modelling * WordPress + React architectures Long-Term Collaboration Opportunity We are an agency looking to build long-term relationships with reliable development partners. Please note that we have a limited budget for this initial project, so competitive pricing will be an important factor in our selection process. However, if this project is delivered successfully and the client is satisfied, there is a strong possibility of four additional projects of a similar nature from the same client. Therefore, we are not only looking for someone to complete this project, but potentially an agency/development partner for future collaborations as well. Additional Information The complete website details, project assets, and workflow expectations will be shared with shortlisted candidates during the next stage of discussions. Timeline: Looking to start as soon as possible. Budget: Please submit your most competitive fixed-price proposal.

Connecting a headless WordPress backend to an existing React/Vite frontend without touching the current UI is exactly the kind of integration work I specialize in. I'll set up WordPress as a headless CMS with WPGraphQL, create clean custom post types and content models for your pages, blogs, FAQs, and reusable sections, then wire up the React frontend using Apollo Client or urql to fetch content dynamically. Your editors get a friendly WordPress dashboard to manage all 8-10 pages of content, and every update reflects on the frontend immediately without any rebuild needed. The existing React/Vite codebase stays completely intact — I'm only adding the data layer to pull content from WordPress instead of hardcoded values. I'll structure the content architecture to be scalable so adding new sections later is straightforward. Can start immediately — just share access to the React repo and I'll begin with the WordPress setup.

Hi there, I will set up WordPress as a headless CMS with WPGraphQL, build out the content models — pages, blog posts, FAQs, feature sections — and wire everything into your existing React/Vite frontend without touching the current UI. One thing I will prioritize: structuring ACF flexible content fields mapped to your existing React components so editors get an intuitive dashboard experience while the frontend stays untouched. I will also implement a lightweight caching layer on the GraphQL queries to keep page loads fast and reduce unnecessary API calls. Questions: 1) Are the current 8–10 pages pulling content from hardcoded data, JSON files, or another source? 2) Is WordPress hosting already provisioned, or do you need a recommendation for that as well? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi there, Your setup is exactly the kind of project where content flexibility can be added without disturbing the working frontend , that’s the hidden risk here, and I’m aligned with it. I’ve built WordPress backends and connected them to React-based frontends using WPGraphQL and REST API, with careful content modeling so pages, blogs, FAQs, and reusable sections stay easy to manage in the dashboard. I’ll keep the existing React/Vite UI intact, map the content structure cleanly, and make sure dynamic updates render reliably without layout regressions. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. If helpful, I can start by reviewing the content types, API flow, and the safest way to organize reusable sections so future pages stay scalable. Should the WordPress setup include custom preview, SEO fields, or reusable page modules beyond the listed content types? How are you planning to handle SEO fields, featured images, and any custom page modules inside WordPress? I can also suggest the best approach for previews and editor workflow so your team can manage content comfortably. Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Sincerely, Asad

Hi I can integrate WordPress as a headless CMS with your existing React/Vite frontend while keeping the current UI and layout intact. The main technical challenge is mapping editable WordPress content into the existing frontend structure without introducing design regressions or messy hardcoded exceptions. I would solve this with a clean WPGraphQL setup, structured custom post types, reusable fields, scalable content models, and careful API-to-component data mapping. I can configure WordPress for pages, blog posts, FAQs, feature content, homepage sections, integration pages, and reusable content blocks. On the React/Vite side, I will connect dynamic queries, normalize the returned data, and update only the content layer where needed. I will make sure editors can manage the 8–10 pages comfortably from the WordPress dashboard without touching code. I will also test rendering, blog pages, FAQ behavior, API responses, and responsive layouts so the existing frontend remains stable. The final handoff will include clean code, content-management guidance, and clear notes for future agency projects. Thanks, Hercules
