Hello, Your project is exactly the type of Headless WordPress implementation our team specializes in. We understand that the React.js + Vite frontend is already fully developed and must remain unchanged. Our focus will be on integrating WordPress as a Headless CMS, allowing your client to manage content efficiently while preserving the existing UI, UX, and frontend architecture. We propose using WordPress with WPGraphQL to create a scalable content structure for Pages, Blog Posts, FAQs, Feature Content, and reusable content blocks. We will configure the CMS, establish clean content models, and connect the existing React/Vite application through optimized GraphQL queries and data mapping. The scope includes complete Headless WordPress setup, frontend integration, content management implementation for approximately 8–10 pages, blog and FAQ functionality, API testing, and validation to ensure there are no design or layout regressions. Content editors will have a simple WordPress dashboard for ongoing updates without developer involvement. We have hands-on experience with Headless WordPress, WPGraphQL, React.js, Vite, REST APIs, and enterprise content architectures. We are comfortable working within budget constraints and are interested in establishing a long-term partnership for future projects. We can start immediately and would be happy to discuss the existing architecture and workflow requirements. Best Regards

Hi there, Your setup is exactly the kind of integration that usually hides the real challenge: keeping a live React/Vite frontend untouched while making WordPress feel effortless for editors behind the scenes. I’ve built WordPress-based CMS layers, connected them through WPGraphQL and REST APIs, and mapped structured content into existing frontends without breaking layouts or design intent. I can set up the headless WordPress backend, define clean content models for pages, blogs, FAQs, and reusable sections, then connect your React/Vite app so content updates flow through reliably. I’ll focus on scalable queries, careful data mapping, and validation so the frontend stays intact and content editors get a simple dashboard. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. If you’d like, I can also outline the best approach for WPGraphQL vs REST based on your content structure and future growth. Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

Hey, I will set up WordPress as a headless CMS with WPGraphQL, build out custom post types for your pages, blogs, FAQs, and feature sections, and wire everything into your existing React/Vite frontend — no UI changes, just clean data fetching. I will structure queries with persisted fragments so the frontend only pulls the fields it needs — keeping requests fast and avoiding over-fetching as content models grow. Questions: 1) Is the React app using any state management or data-fetching library already? 2) Where is WordPress being hosted — or do you need a hosting recommendation? Send me a message and we can go over the details. Best regards, Kamran

Hi, I've read your brief — integrate a WordPress CMS backend with your existing, fully-developed React.js/Vite frontend, running WordPress as a headless CMS so the client can manage pages, blogs, FAQs and related content themselves. This is squarely our stack at Global IT Vision (headless WordPress + React is everyday work). My approach: - Stand up WordPress as a headless CMS exposing your content via WPGraphQL (or REST), with custom post types/fields (ACF) modelled to match your pages, blog and FAQs. - Wire your React/Vite frontend to consume that API cleanly, with caching so it stays fast. - Make every required content area editable by the client (no developer needed for routine updates), with previews where useful. - Keep SEO intact (meta, sitemaps, clean URLs) and document the setup so content management is simple. I've posted scope questions on the board (GraphQL vs REST, editable types, SPA vs SSR). Could we do a quick call so I can confirm and give a firm price? — Muhammad Idrees / Global IT Vision Pvt. Ltd

Hi, We’d be excited to help integrate WordPress as a Headless CMS with your existing React/Vite application while preserving the current frontend experience exactly as intended. What stands out in your requirements is that this is fundamentally a content architecture and integration project—not a website rebuild. The success of the implementation will depend on creating a clean content model within WordPress and mapping that content efficiently to the existing React frontend without introducing design regressions or disrupting the current user experience. We have extensive experience working with Headless WordPress, WPGraphQL, React.js, Vite, API integrations, and content modeling. Our approach focuses on establishing a scalable CMS structure for pages, blogs, FAQs, and reusable content sections, then connecting those models to the existing frontend through optimized GraphQL queries and predictable data flows. A few questions: • Is WPGraphQL already installed, or should the Headless WordPress environment be configured from scratch? • Will WordPress be hosted separately from the React/Vite application? • Are there any existing content models or API contracts that must be preserved during integration? We look forward to reviewing the project assets and helping establish a maintainable Headless WordPress architecture that supports both your current client and future projects. Best Regards,

Drawing from my extensive 10+ years of experience as a Full-Stack Developer, I have developed comprehensive expertise in all aspects of the stack, including key areas that are directly relevant to your project - Javascript, React.js, PHP and WordPress. I also boast solid experience with API integrations and content modelling which aligns perfectly with your requirement. Having several successful Headless WordPress CMS projects under my belt, I am confident that I can not only effectively integrate WordPress as a Headless CMS with your existing React.js/Vite frontend but do so without causing any damage to the aesthetic and functional aspects that you wish to preserve. One particular skill set that distinctly positions me for this role is my prowess with WPGraphQL, a powerful plugin that enables an elegant way of querying large amounts of data from WordPress. Its GraphQL-based querying system significantly simplifies the process of fetching data efficiently from your Headless WordPress backend. As for the content management aspect, I assure you of a clean and scalable architecture that will be intuitive for your client's team to update and manage - essential for ensuring long-term utility of the solution.

Hi there, Keeping the existing React/Vite frontend untouched while making WordPress the content engine is the key part here, and that’s exactly how I’d approach this. I can set up WordPress as a clean headless CMS, model the content properly for pages, blogs, FAQs, and reusable sections, then connect it through WPGraphQL or REST without changing your current UI. I’ve handled custom WordPress builds, API-driven integrations, and complex content structures with ACF, so the focus will be on stable mapping, editor-friendly content management, and making sure nothing regresses on the frontend. For a project in this budget range, I’d suggest starting with a tight Phase 1 and 2 scope, get the CMS architecture and integration working cleanly, then expand if needed. If you’d like, message me with the current frontend structure and whether WPGraphQL is already preferred by the client, and I can outline the most practical fixed-price approach. Thanks, Srijidh
