The brief
The challenge
A content-heavy station site with shows, playlists and news needed to stay fast under traffic while keeping a familiar editing experience.
What I did
The approach
WordPress serves structured content over the REST API; a Next.js front end renders it with static generation and incremental updates.
What I built
Headless architecture
WordPress as content API, Next.js as the rendering layer.
Structured content
Custom post types and fields for shows, hosts and programming.
Performance
Static generation with incremental revalidation for fresh, fast pages.

“Our project involved a complex headless WordPress setup with Next.js, and Denis handled every challenge with confidence. The final product exceeded our expectations.”
