Overview
ToolyConvert brings hundreds of everyday utilities together in one fast site, with categories for developer tools, image tools, text tools, calculators, SEO, file conversion, editing and security. Most tools run directly in the browser, so files don't need to be uploaded to a server. The articles are managed in WordPress and served to the Next.js frontend through the REST API, the same architecture as this website.

How I approach a Next.js + headless WordPress build
The same steps I follow on every project like this one.
- 01Clear boundary
WordPress manages content; the Next.js frontend owns rendering, caching and SEO.
- 02Typed data layer
REST responses are mapped to typed models, so components never depend on raw WordPress fields.
- 03Fast by default
Server rendering, incremental revalidation and optimised images keep pages quick.
- 04Search-ready
Canonicals, sitemaps and structured data are generated by the frontend from the same data as the pages.
