> [Reach out to us](fallback::https://www.wix.com/support-chatbot?nodeId=407241cc-92c5-42e8-b466-a74e2889df9a&referral=headless) with feedback and suggestions to improve the Wix Headless experience, and join the [Headless channel](fallback::https://discord.gg/MK5VZ9Nu) of the Devs on Wix Discord community to discuss features and connect with our growing community of developers.

Whether you're building an external site or app, you need to start from a Headless project.

To create and set up a Headless project:

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

1. Choose your role.

1. Choose the business features you want to add, such as eCommerce, Bookings, Pricing Plans, or Events. You can always [add more](resourceId::4e2d18a8-9b97-472e-84fd-0b8c222d70ca*fallback::https://github.com/wix-private/developer-docs/blob/0dc7f81128353c5dc894da1c43d7f3972bb764f2/headless-docs/setup/add-apps.md) later.

1. Enter a name for your project. You can always change your project's name later in the [project dashboard](fallback::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).
