The Challenge

Facility management content at scale, without a sluggish monolith.

Keystone markets Hard FM, Soft FM, PPM, projects, and multiple sectors across the North West. The site needed room to grow service and sector pages while keeping editors in control of copy, not trapped in rigid templates or slow classic WordPress themes.

The Fix

Headless WordPress, Next.js, and Vercel as one pipeline.

We decoupled content from presentation: WordPress powers structured editorial workflows and APIs; Next.js renders a fast, component-driven public site with sensible caching and image behaviour; Vercel hosts production and previews so releases stay low-friction for the team.

The Outcome

Editorial speed plus a visitor experience that feels modern.

Marketing can iterate in WordPress while the Next.js layer delivers a crisp experience for property managers and decision-makers. The stack is ready for more sectors, proof content, and local relevance without another full replatform.

Deliverables

What we shipped

Workstreams and outputs we owned end to end on this engagement.

  • Headless WordPress CMS and content modelling
  • Next.js application and UI component system
  • Vercel deployment, previews, and edge delivery
  • Service and sector landing architecture
  • Hard FM, Soft FM, PPM, and project storytelling templates
  • Performance, SEO-friendly rendering, and media handling

Keystone Facility Management delivers practical facilities management for property teams across Greater Manchester and the North West: Hard FM, Soft FM, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), and project work through one accountable contact. The marketing site has to carry dense service and sector copy without feeling like a brochure PDF, and it has to stay fast for mobile site managers checking scopes on the move.

Primed Pixels shipped a headless WordPress setup for editorial workflows and structured content, with a Next.js front end and production hosting on Vercel. That pattern matches how we approach web development when the team wants WordPress for content but a modern, performance-first experience for visitors. It also pairs naturally with technical SEO and local SEO as service and area pages grow.

The Challenge

FM sites often accumulate pages for every service, sector, and location. Without discipline, that becomes slow templates, duplicated messaging, and a CMS that fights the design. Keystone needed:

  • Editors who could publish and iterate in WordPress without waiting on developers for every copy tweak.
  • A public site that felt credible to commercial and residential clients, not generic trades clutter.
  • Performance and deployment that did not rely on traditional shared hosting when traffic or campaigns spike.

The Build

Headless WordPress

WordPress remains the system of record for pages, posts, and reusable content models. The team keeps familiar editing tools while the front end consumes content through a clean API contract, so presentation can evolve without migrating years of editorial history.

Next.js front end

The public experience is built in Next.js with route-level composition, optimised images, and a component library suited to long-form service explanations, sector entry points, FAQs, and conversion paths. Server rendering and caching behaviour align with how web design and web development should feel on first load: fast shell, readable hierarchy, and predictable navigation across Hard FM, Soft FM, PPM, and project work.

Vercel deployment

The site is deployed on Vercel so builds, previews, and edge delivery stay straightforward for ongoing releases. That reduces operational drag when the marketing team ships new sector pages or campaign landers tied to North West FM prospects.

Why it works

Keystone sells reliability and clarity. Headless WordPress keeps content ownership with the client; Next.js keeps the visitor experience sharp; Vercel keeps hosting and scaling boring in the right way. Together they form a stack you can extend with more sectors, locations, or proof content without re-platforming.
