Headless WordPress: Why We Went for It

Last year, the WP Engine team was hyper-focused on one task: making wpengine.com a fully headless experience. Working with our web design and development partners at drewl, the team was able to migrate WP Engine’s site onto a headless architecture within the span of a few months.

In this DE{CODE} session, you’ll hear firsthand accounts from the developers, designers, and content creators who made the switch to headless possible, including the obstacles they faced and the benefits they’re enjoying post-migration!

Hear why WP Engine decided to drink our own champagne by making the switch to headless on wpengine.com using Headless WordPress!
