## What it is
A Next.js starter template that turns WordPress into a headless CMS, generating a static, SEO-friendly site via WPGraphQL. It ships with blog, pages, categories, authors, search, RSS, and sitemap support and deploys easily to Vercel or Netlify.

## Use cases
- build a static blog with WordPress as headless CMS
- use Next.js with WordPress content via WPGraphQL
- deploy a WordPress site to Vercel or Netlify
- create a fast SEO-friendly front end for WordPress
- replace WordPress theme with a React front end
- add RSS and sitemap to a headless WordPress site

## When to choose
- you want to keep WordPress for editing but serve a static Next.js front end
- you need an out-of-the-box headless WordPress starter with SEO features
- you prefer no third-party static services and deploy anywhere

## When to avoid
- you need a fully dynamic WordPress site with PHP themes and plugins rendering markup
- you use a different CMS or framework like Gatsby or Astro
- you don't want to maintain a Node.js build pipeline
