Today we’re giving away all of our secrets! But unfortunately unless you’re a code bro or broette like me you will not be able to cook this recipe on your own.

Many say coding is dead when it comes to web development. In the age of Squarespace, Wix, and Showit this appears at first glance to be both true and obvious. But while these amazing platforms are the best option for many small business owners needing to get their business visible in the online space, they are not without their pitfalls.

Templates look great initially, but over time as your content changes they are easy to break. Before you know it you’re logging many frustrating hours — hours you could be attending to your business and making money! — trying to recreate a coherent design. Time is money and sometimes it just makes more sense to pay a professional to handle it. You have enough things on your mind already when it comes to your business and don’t need a big additional worry haunting you as your head hits the pillow every night.

Additionally choosing a template in the first place can quickly become an overwhelming and time consuming experience. With so many choices it feels like an endless search sifting through all options and becoming ever more confused about what you want. Analysis paralysis sets in. Months pass. You promised yourself you would finally make your website long ago but keep putting off just getting the damn thing done already.

These are the frustrations I hear all the time from business owners that my secret recipe is designed to fix.

My recipe is simple on the surface and only consists of four primary ingredients:

WordPress and the WordPress REST API
The Advanced Custom Fields WordPress plugin
The React JavaScript framework
Frontity’s headless WordPress x React framework
