Description
Experience Level: Entry
Development: Full Stack / Frontend
1. Project Description
We're looking for an experienced developer to build a modern, fast-loading website using a decoupled (headless) architecture. This is not a traditional WordPress theme build we want a custom-coded frontend that pulls content from WordPress as a backend CMS only.
2. Tech stack requirements:
The frontend should be built in Next.js using the App Router, with server-side rendering for performance and SEO. Styling should use Tailwind CSS (utility-first, no separate handwritten stylesheets). Fonts should be optimized using Next.js's built-in font system (self-hosted Google Fonts, no external font requests). Images need to run through Next.js's built-in image optimization so files are automatically resized/compressed on delivery. The site should be deployed on Vercel. Error/performance monitoring should be set up via Sentry so we get visibility into production issues.
On the content side, we want WordPress set up purely as a headless CMS on a separate subdomain used only to manage content (text, images, blog posts, pages, etc.) through the WordPress dashboard, with no public-facing WordPress theme or frontend. The Next.js app should fetch this content via the WordPress REST API or WPGraphQL.
3. What we need from you:
Please share examples of past projects where you've built a Next.js frontend decoupled from a headless WordPress backend. Let us know your experience with Tailwind CSS, Vercel deployment, and Sentry integration. We'd also like to understand your typical process for structuring content models in WordPress so they map cleanly to a custom frontend.
4. Project scope:
Build a CMS-managed marketing website from an existing Figma design a standard brochure/lead-gen site (WordPress or equivalent), fully editable by our team afterward.
Pages/templates:
Home (hero, packs preview, process steps, gallery preview, testimonials, Instagram feed, CTA); Pack template (reusable, CMS-addable, with pricing, specs, gallery, FAQ); About; Examples (portfolio gallery); Project template (reusable case-study CMS post type, with gallery and related projects); Terms template (reusable for legal pages); Contact (enquiry form + map); Send an Enquiry (consultation booking form + map); site-wide responsive navigation.
Requirements: All content editable via CMS, no dev needed. Pack and Project templates must be repeatable CMS entries. Both forms submit to email/CRM. Fully responsive, matching Figma exactly.
Out of scope: No custom API/booking integrations, no custom backend.
5. Deliverables
Fully responsive site matching the above stack, deployed and live on Vercel, with WordPress CMS configured and documented for our team to manage content independently going forward.
6. Budget
To be agreed
