What it gives you

ReactWP is meant to give teams a modern frontend runtime without throwing away the practical side of WordPress.

Faster delivery for client projects of any size

A more homogeneous WordPress admin from project to project

A clearer editorial experience for clients and internal teams

React-powered route rendering without giving up WordPress practicality

A shared structure for themes, plugins, and mu-plugins

Core ideas

ReactWP is not trying to replace WordPress. It is a starter that gives WordPress a cleaner frontend runtime and a more intentional project structure.

WordPress stays in charge

Keep content, settings, menus, and editorial workflows in familiar WordPress territory.

React handles the runtime

Own transitions, route rendering, asset orchestration, and frontend behavior with a clear runtime layer.

One payload shape

Use shared bootstrap and route payloads for first render and client-side navigation.

Start in the right place
