WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT · CMS · MULTILINGUAL
Next.js website development with a headless CMS your team can manage.
OJC Labs builds business websites around what customers need to find and what your team needs to manage. We connect the public experience to the right CMS, publishing workflow, integrations and technical SEO foundation.

THE WEBSITE HAS TWO USERS
Customers need clarity. Your team needs control.
A website should make the offer easy to understand without making every update a development project.
Choosing between WordPress and headless architecture depends on the publishing problem you are actually trying to solve.
For your team
A publishing setup that makes routine changes manageable without destabilising the public site.
For the system
Clean routes, maintainable templates and a technical SEO foundation that remains consistent as the site grows.
MIGRATION
Headless CMS migration without sacrificing search visibility
We migrate WordPress and legacy websites to Next.js with Sanity, Contentful, Directus or a headless WordPress backend. The migration plan covers content models, URL parity, 301 redirects, canonical tags, structured data, XML sitemaps, multilingual routing and post-launch indexation checks. Editors get a cleaner publishing workflow; search engines keep stable routes and signals; developers get a codebase that can grow without plugin debt.
See the MIC multilingual headless migration and the supporting technical SEO and indexing system.
WEBSITE ARCHITECTURE
Choose the stack around the work the website needs to do.
Moving to headless architecture is useful only when its control justifies the additional implementation and maintenance responsibility.
WordPress
A familiar publishing environment for teams whose page structure and integrations can remain within one managed platform.
Headless WordPress + Next.js
WordPress manages structured content while Next.js controls the public interface, routing and rendering. The split adds flexibility and explicit integration responsibility.
Custom or API-connected
A tailored web layer for businesses whose content, applications or customer journeys need connections that a conventional CMS cannot responsibly provide.
CONNECTED PUBLISHING
The website should connect to what happens after the visit.
Publishing connects to content workflow automation. Enquiries can move into email and CRM systems. Important actions need conversion tracking, while recurring handoffs can be handled through business process automation.
CONNECTED SYSTEMS
The work around this system matters too.
SEO and Indexing
Keep crawlability, metadata, internal links and multilingual signals inside the website architecture.

→IN PRACTICE
Headless multilingual publishing for MIC.
MIC shows what headless architecture looks like when the editorial workflow, language routes and search layer are designed together. WordPress remained the editorial interface while Next.js handled the public experience.

Questions before implementation.
What is a headless CMS and do I need one?+
A headless CMS separates content management from the public website. It can help when a team needs custom interfaces, multilingual publishing or several connected channels. We compare that need with cost and maintenance before recommending it.
Can you work with our existing WordPress website?+
Yes. WordPress can remain the publishing interface, be improved in place or become the content source for a separate Next.js frontend. The decision follows the actual publishing and integration requirements.
Can this be implemented without rebuilding everything?+
Often. We identify the templates, routes and integrations causing the constraint, then scope the smallest responsible change. A full rebuild is proposed only when the current architecture prevents the required outcome.
What does our team manage after handover?+
The handover defines which content fields, pages and publishing actions your team owns, which technical changes still need development and how releases should be checked.
Can you support multilingual website publishing?+
Yes. We structure language routes, localised metadata, navigation and reciprocal language relationships around the markets and editorial responsibilities involved.
