At the start of the year, our marketing site was running on WordPress. It worked—but barely. Slow load times, clunky admin interface, constant plugin conflicts. Every time we wanted to update something, it felt like performing surgery with oven mitts on.
So we made the leap: rebuilt the whole frontend in React, with a headless CMS on the backend. Page speed went through the roof. SEO scores improved. Most importantly, our dev team finally had full control over components, layout, and logic—without battling with theme limitations or shortcode mess.
It wasn’t just about performance. It changed our entire workflow. New landing pages now take hours, not days. And because the content is decoupled, our marketing team can still update copy and media without touching code.
Moving from WordPress to React wasn’t just an upgrade. It was a shift in how we work. And we’re not looking back.

Re: From WordPress to React: Best Decision We Made All Year
Couldn’t agree more—we made a similar move last year and the difference was night and day. One thing that really stood out post-migration was how much smoother everything ran on mobile. A proper mobile-first approach made our site feel faster and more polished across the board. The shift from wordpress to react didn’t just solve old problems—it unlocked an entirely better user experience.
