How To Create A Headless WordPress Site On The Jamstack

Just this morning, Chris shared a streamlined way to get a static site up and running with Netlify. As it happens, Sarah and I also wrote up a little something that expands that idea where a static site can pull content from WordPress using the REST API.

Using Vue, Nuxt, axios, and Netlify, it's possible to get both the performance and continuous integration benefits of Jamstack with the powerful publishing and editing features of a CMS. It's really amazing what pairing different stacks can do these days!

Being a WordPress junkie myself, I learned from a lot from Sarah about setting up a progressive web app and working with a component-driven architecture. She equipped me with several resources, all of which are linked up in the article. There's even a complete video where Sarah walks through the same steps we followed to set things up for this app.

In other words, it's worth the estimated 18 minutes it takes to read the article. I hope you walk away with as much as I did getting to work on it.
