A Frontend System

Not a Builder. A Frontend System.

The Big Differentiator

Components vs. Builders

Page builders are great for assembling pages. PhantomWP is for building frontend systems.

Page Builders

  • →Editor components - live in the editor UI
  • →Proprietary data - stored in database schemas
  • →Tightly coupled - locked to the builder runtime
  • →Hard to diff - can't Git compare page changes
  • →Great for - assembling pages quickly

PhantomWP Components

  • Frontend components - real files in your repo
  • Git-native data - diffable, testable, versionable
  • Portable - take it anywhere, no lock-in
  • AI-friendly - predictable structure AI understands
  • Great for - building maintainable frontend systems
"Builders give you components to assemble pages. PhantomWP gives you components to build a frontend system."

Why Structure Matters

WordPress themes (PHP themes) have no shared, predictable frontend structure. That's the root cause of most WordPress pain.

The Theme Problem

  • Markup scattered across PHP templates
  • Hooks & filters inject code unpredictably
  • Plugins output HTML wherever they want
  • Inline styles and CSS overrides everywhere
  • Refactoring, maintenance, and automation are hard

The Component Solution

  • Real components as files in predictable locations
  • One design system (Tailwind + tokens)
  • Explicit data flow via WP REST API
  • One source of truth for styling
  • AI can reason about and modify safely

Same component. Different data. That's the power of a real frontend system.
