Headless WordPress & Shopify Development
Keep your team’s CMS and commerce tools. Upgrade the customer-facing site so it’s faster, more flexible, and not held back by theme limitations.
We build headless WordPress, WooCommerce, and Shopify sites that load quickly, handle real traffic, and make it easier to create the exact experience your customers need.
- Built for speed & conversions
- WordPress, WooCommerce & Shopify
- Flexible customer experiences
Why go headless instead of staying on themes?
Traditional WordPress and Shopify builds are great for getting started. Headless becomes attractive when speed, custom functionality, and scale start to matter more.
Noticeably faster pages
Visitors get a snappy experience because pages can be delivered quickly from a global network. That means better load times, smoother browsing, and stronger Core Web Vitals.
Custom flows without duct tape
Complex filters, memberships, scheduling, dashboards, and multi-step journeys become built-in features—rather than a fragile stack of plugins and workarounds.
More places, same content
Your WordPress or Shopify setup can power your main site, microsites, and future experiences. When it’s time to refresh the look and feel, you don’t have to rebuild your content or catalog from scratch.
A safer setup
The public website is separated from the admin area. That usually means fewer direct attacks on your CMS/store admin and less risk of one issue affecting everything.
How the pieces fit together
We don’t replace WordPress or Shopify. We keep what already works—and improve how customers experience it.
- 1
WordPress/Shopify stay the source of truth
Content lives in WordPress. Products, inventory, and orders live in WooCommerce or Shopify. Your team keeps working in familiar tools.
- 2
Reliable connections + smart caching
We connect the customer-facing site to your content and product data, then add caching so it stays fast and consistent during busy periods.

A fast customer-facing site
This is where we build your navigation, layouts, shopping and lead flows, and all the “polish” customers notice—optimized for speed, clarity, and conversion.
When headless is—and isn’t—the right move
Probably overkill if…
- You just need a simple marketing site with a few pages.
- You’re happy staying inside a page builder and don’t need custom customer journeys.
- Budget and complexity need to be minimal, and speed isn’t tied directly to revenue.
A strong fit if…
- Speed and conversion matter (eCommerce, memberships, high-intent lead gen).
- You need things themes struggle with: complex filtering, multi-step forms, app-like experiences, or multi-brand setups.
- You support multiple brands or locations and want one clean, repeatable foundation instead of one-off builds.
How Raven Rock Technology approaches headless
We build it so your team—or a future team—can operate it confidently. Clear decisions, clean structure, and no “mystery meat” setup.
Plan first, build second
We start by understanding your site, your goals, and what’s slowing you down today. Then we map a practical approach that fits how you actually work.
Clean data connections
We make sure your content and product data flows reliably to the website. That means fewer surprises, fewer “why is this broken?” moments, and smoother upgrades later.
Speed from day one
We design for real-world performance upfront so the site stays fast under actual traffic—not just in a quick demo or a lab test.
Safe launches & clean handoffs
We treat redirects, monitoring, documentation, and maintenance as part of the project—not an afterthought. Launch should feel controlled, not chaotic.
