Is it for you?

Headless isn't for everyone. It's for you if...

The signals that you've outgrown a standard theme.

01

Speed is costing you sales.

Every 100ms of load time dents conversion. When a theme can't get fast enough, a headless frontend can.

02

Your design is boxed in.

You want experiences the theme editor can't express - custom interactions, content, and merchandising. Headless removes the ceiling.

03

You run content + commerce.

Editorial, community, or app-like experiences alongside your store are far cleaner on a modern framework with a CMS.

How it works

Modern frontend, Shopify backend.

The performance of a custom app, the reliability of Shopify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I go headless?

Only if you'll use it. Headless shines when speed, custom UX, or content-plus-commerce matter and a theme can't deliver. If a well-built theme covers your needs, we'll say so - it's cheaper to run.

Do I still manage products in Shopify?

Yes. Shopify remains your backend and single source of truth for products, inventory, orders, and checkout. Headless only changes the customer-facing storefront layer.

Will headless hurt my SEO?

No - done right it helps. Server-side rendering, fast load times, and a clean redirect map from your current URLs preserve and often improve rankings.

What stack do you use?

Shopify Hydrogen or Next.js on the frontend, the Shopify Storefront API for commerce, and a headless CMS (like Sanity or Contentful) when editorial content is involved. We pick per project.

Is checkout still Shopify?

Yes - you keep Shopify's secure, PCI-compliant checkout. That means all your payment methods, discounts, and apps at checkout keep working.
