MPress

When it comes to Microfrontend, we think BIG.

MPress is a microfrontend framework that lets development teams build powerful, interactive frontend applications once — and deploy them natively as plugins to WordPress, Shopify, and Mustard CMS. No platform lock-in. No redundant builds. Just a single codebase that works wherever your clients are.

Whether you're an agency delivering custom solutions across a mixed client portfolio, or a product team that needs to reach users on multiple platforms, MPress gives you the foundation to ship faster without compromising on quality or flexibility.

Native plugin deployment

MPress applications deploy as first-class plugins to WordPress, Shopify, and Mustard CMS — not iframes, not workarounds. Your microfrontends integrate the way the platform expects, which means better performance, better compatibility, and a better experience for end users.

Platform-agnostic codebase

Write your application once and target multiple platforms from the same source. MPress handles the platform-specific packaging and plugin scaffolding so your team focuses on building features, not maintaining parallel codebases.

Business Server integration

MPress is built to work independently, but connects seamlessly with Business Server when you need backend services, identity management, or data infrastructure behind your frontend. The integration is available when you need it — and stays out of the way when you don't.

WordPress

WordPress powers over 40% of the web. MPress lets your team deliver sophisticated, interactive frontend applications as native WordPress plugins — without the constraints of traditional theme development or the fragility of custom page builder implementations. Your application installs, updates, and behaves like any other plugin, with none of the limitations.

Shopify

MPress deploys to Shopify as a native app or theme extension, giving merchants powerful frontend capabilities — custom configurators, interactive product experiences, dynamic content blocks — without requiring a custom Shopify build from scratch.

Mustard CMS

For clients running on Mustard CMS, MPress is the natural frontend layer. Deep integration with the Mustard ecosystem means your microfrontends have direct access to CMS content, DedicatedAuth identity, and Business Server data — all without additional configuration.

USE CASES

MPress is built for teams delivering complex frontend experiences across multiple platforms.

Custom e-commerce experiences
Product configurators, dynamic pricing tools, interactive bundles, and personalised storefronts — built once as MPress microfrontends and deployed natively to Shopify or Mustard CMS without custom platform engineering for each client.

Client portal and dashboard extensions
Embed data-rich dashboards, reporting tools, or client portal interfaces directly into a client's existing WordPress or Mustard CMS site — with full backend connectivity through DedicatedCore or Business Server when needed.

SaaS products targeting multiple CMS platforms
If your product needs to live inside a customer's existing website rather than as a standalone application, MPress gives you a structured, maintainable path to deliver it as a native plugin across every major platform — without maintaining separate codebases for each.

No. MPress is a standalone framework and works independently of DedicatedCore and the Mustard PaaS. Integration with Mustard's backend services is available when you need it, but there's no dependency — MPress connects to whatever backend your application requires.

MPress deploys natively to WordPress, Shopify, and Mustard CMS. Additional platform targets are on the roadmap. If your clients are primarily on one platform, MPress works just as well as a single-target deployment tool.

A standard plugin is built for one platform. MPress gives you a platform-agnostic codebase that targets multiple platforms from a single source — with consistent tooling, versioned deployments, and a microfrontend architecture that scales with your team. You get the native plugin experience without the overhead of maintaining separate builds.

Yes. MPress microfrontends connect to any backend — REST APIs, GraphQL, third-party services, or Mustard's own infrastructure. There's no restriction on where your data comes from.

Every MPress deployment is versioned automatically. If an update causes an issue on a live site, your team can roll back to the previous version from the MPress dashboard in seconds — across one platform or all of them simultaneously.

Yes. MPress is designed to stand on its own and is a practical choice for any development team or agency building across multiple CMS platforms — regardless of whether they use any other Mustard products. If and when you want to connect to DedicatedCore or Business Server, that path is already there.
