Changing Static React T3 Stack Site to become editable using WordPress CMS

  • Hello,

    I’ve developed a website, primarily a health & wellness platform, which is currently hosted on Vercel with the domain from GoDaddy for my client. The site is built using a T3 stack, primarily with React and Next.js. I’ve been considering using WordPress to make the site editable for my client. The main reason for this is to allow my client to make periodic updates, like adding Stripe packages, updating images, etc.

    However, I’m concerned about the viability of this shift. Besides the frontend technologies, my site integrates with APIs like Stripe for payments. Will these integrations pose a challenge in a WordPress environment?

    Given my site’s nature and technical stack, would it be advisable to switch to WordPress to offer my client editing abilities? Or are there any alternative solutions I should consider? How would I actually give my client editing abilities using WordPress?

    Thank you in advance.

    Ensure your host meets these WP requirements. If it does, you can use WordPress to build a new site that’s more accessible to tech naive clients. A good part of a block based WP site is also React based, but you will only need to get into React coding if you need to develop new custom blocks that are not already available.

    How much of the current site would need migrating to WP? WP does have a data import tool that works off a XML data file of a particular structure. There are many export tools for various other CMS systems that can write to this format. If there is not an existing tool for your current data, you’d need to develop a bespoke export tool in order to migrate any existing data.

    Interfacing with external APIs is not a problem in WP. There are many plugins that will do so with many popular APIs. If you cannot find a plugin for the API you need to access, you can develop your own bespoke solution. There are all sorts of plugins available that will provide a solution to most common needs. With bespoke code in WP, you can pretty much do anything that’s possible for any web server. It’s more of a question of accessing the right resources than if it can be done at all.
