Decoupled CMS Engineering

Headless Drupal as a content backend, with a real frontend.

Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 as a JSON:API or GraphQL backend. Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, or React on the frontend.

We ship the editor experience, the delivery layer, and the hosting that makes both fast.

When headless makes sense, and when it doesn't.

Honest Take

check_circle Good fit

check_circleContent shared across web, mobile, and digital signage
check_circleMarketing site that needs sub-second LCP at scale
check_circleFrontend team that already runs Next.js or Astro
check_circleEditorial workflow stays in Drupal, frontend stays static

cancel Wrong fit

closeSmall content team, no JS frontend dev capacity
closeMarketing tooling tightly coupled to Drupal Layout Builder
closeAuthors expect Webform module on the same domain
closeSingle site, low traffic, no multi-channel ambition

What a WebEvra headless build includes

Backend, delivery layer, frontend, hosting. End to end.

api

JSON:API or GraphQL backend

Drupal core JSON:API by default, with GraphQL when the access patterns warrant it. Authenticated endpoints for previews, public endpoints for production reads.

view_in_ar

Next.js or Astro frontend

SSG with ISR for marketing sites. SSR for personalized content. We pick based on cache hit-rate goals, not framework loyalty.

edit_note

Editor preview that works

Authors hit "preview" and see the actual rendered frontend in milliseconds, against draft content. No more "publish to see it".

refresh

On-demand revalidation

When a node updates in Drupal, the relevant pages on the frontend are revalidated immediately via Drupal cache tags + Next.js revalidate.

image

Image pipeline

Drupal image styles plus a CDN image API. Authors upload once, the frontend gets the right format and size automatically.

deployed_code

CI/CD for both halves

Drupal deploys via Git + drush deploy. Frontend deploys via Vercel, Netlify, or your own runner. Both wired into one PR workflow.
