Going headless sounds like a big change, but for the people writing your content, almost nothing changes. That is on purpose. With Soames, your editors still log in to WordPress, still use the block editor, and still manage pages, posts, and media exactly as before.

A question we hear a lot: why is a Soames front end static instead of a live WordPress site? The short answer is speed and safety. A static site is just pre-built files. Nothing runs a database query when a visitor arrives, and no plugin executes on each request.

Soames is a way to build WordPress sites that don’t feel like WordPress on the front end. Your team keeps the editor they already know, and your visitors get a fast, secure, static website. This is a quick intro: what Soames is, why we built it, and who it’s for.
