System design for Public Domain platform showing how editorial, commerce, and community components work together
While we start with a traditional WordPress theme for Phase 1, the API layer is built to support a fully headless setup in the future if needed. This gives flexibility to evolve the frontend without touching the backend.
Changes made on the web (new posts, product updates, inventory) reflect instantly in the mobile app via API polling or webhooks. Users get a consistent experience across devices.
Community functionality (profiles, submissions, comments) is built modularly so new features like membership tiers, direct messaging, or collaboration tools can be added without rebuilding the core system.
CDN for media delivery, database query optimization, lazy loading for images, and edge caching ensure fast load times globally. Mobile users on slower connections still get a premium experience.
