Key Takeaways
What matters most here
Headless architecture is powerful, but not always commercially justified. The right decision depends on publishing needs, team capability, and roadmap complexity.
- Choose classic WordPress for speed-to-market and content velocity.
- Choose headless when product requirements justify the added complexity.
- Measure maintenance cost, not only launch flexibility.
Why it matters commercially
