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. Headless changes how the site is delivered, not how it is written.

Publish, then rebuild

There is one new habit to learn. Because the front end is static, hitting Publish in WordPress does not instantly change the live site. A quick rebuild (a button, a webhook, or a schedule) picks up your latest content and redeploys it, usually in a minute or two.

The trade is worth it: your team gets the workflow they already know, and your visitors get a faster, safer site.
