# Create a Self-Managed Headless Project

Wix Headless lets you build your frontend with any framework and integrate with Wix’s production-ready [business solutions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/get-started/overview/wix-headless-business-solutions.md) such as eCommerce, Bookings, and Events. Headless projects appear in your Wix account alongside your Wix sites, making it easy to manage all your Wix projects in one place.

This article explains how to set up a self-managed headless project. For a simplified setup with managed hosting and authentication, see [Wix-managed headless](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/about-headless-development-paths.md).

To create and set up a headless project:

1. Create a [new headless project](https://www.wix.com/intro/headless?ref=docs_vanilla).
2. Choose your project's purpose.

3. Choose your role.

4. Choose the business features you want to add, such as eCommerce, Bookings, Pricing Plans, or Events. You can always [add more](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/project-management/add-apps-to-a-project.md) later.

5. Enter a name for your project. You can always change your project's name later in the [project dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Fhome).
