This Website — Headless WordPress + Astro

The site you're looking at: content managed in WordPress, served as a blazing-fast static Astro frontend. Bilingual, SEO-optimised, with a custom-built contact pipeline. Practice what you preach.

The challenge

A developer who builds websites should have a site that holds up to scrutiny: fast, bilingual, easy to update, and built on the same stack I recommend to clients.

What I built

Content lives in WordPress as a headless CMS and is pulled in over GraphQL at build time. The frontend is a static Astro site — every page is pre-rendered, so nothing waits on a database when you visit.

The site is fully bilingual (English and Dutch), SEO-optimised with structured data, and uses a custom-built contact pipeline instead of an off-the-shelf form plugin.

Why it matters

It's the same architecture I offer to clients who want WordPress's editing experience without WordPress's performance trade-offs. Practice what you preach.
