API-first backend
A website built so its content lives behind a clean data interface, an API.
An API-first backend is a website built so its content lives behind a clean data interface, an API, rather than being welded to one set of pages. The content is entered and stored in one place, then served on request to whatever needs it: your website today, a mobile app tomorrow, a partner's system after that. WordPress can work this way through its REST API, which is what makes headless setups possible. The payoff is reach, since the same content, written once, can feed many front ends. The cost is complexity, so it earns its keep on larger builds rather than a simple brochure site.
