The future of e-commerce is now

A new standard in online shopping

The threshold for installing native apps is high. A progressive web app (PWA) is the solution and roughly means a mix of a website and an app. It’s a web app that provides a better experience with enhanced UI/UX and good performance. Besides, it supports push notifications like native apps. Headless e-Commerce architecture enables all of that.

With headless commerce architecture, we are able to fix the gap between blazing fast native (installed) apps and the user experience we are able to deliver with mobile optimized webshops. PWA is a frontend progressive web application, and coupled with Headless makes a businesses’ perfect couple. To emphasize, the biggest feature of PWA development is performance. When we are talking about performance, we are talking about the speed at which pages and content are loaded, as well as the speed at which actions can be performed. The performance improvement will result in a better user experience and better scalability.

Why to start with headless commerce architecture?

  • Because of little data usage, the shop is always and everywhere stable.
  • Even if connection is dropped or is not available, browsing and filling the shopping cart is still possible.
  • A better performance will result in a higher conversion rate.
  • Let your customer relation grow with personalized push notifications.
  • Search engines love PWA, thus it will improve your SEO ranking.

When to choose for a Headless PWA

The webshop needs to be blazing fast

First thing to remember, the loading time of a PWA can be 15x faster than a responsive webshop. A PWA works with all available browsers and responds quickly.

You do not want to invest double

Instead of building a webshop and native app for Android and IOS, it is now possible to invest in development for one application that will rule them all.

Development needs to be done efficiently

Given that PWA works over API connections, we can integrate functionality directly into the frontend, without touching the backend. To put it another way, development can be done faster.

The time to market is important

The frontend and backend are connected with an API bridge. This makes it possible to start on both at the same time. In other words, no need to wait for backend before starting frontend development.

Tailored technology stack for headless commerce development

For the purpose of headless commerce development, we do have a tailored made technology stack. Per project, we decide together with our client what is the best platform for both frontend and backend. We do have experience with multiple backend platforms and frontend technologies, such as:

Headless commerce development team

As soon as we start a headless project, we will start with exploring the needs and advice about the best approach. After that, without a delay, we will form the development team. We do have a team of specialists in headless eCommerce architecture.

Straightaway, we jointly decide what the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) should be. Additionally, we include rough estimated project costs and a timeline to get there. Of course, another option for you is to just connect our remote team to an existing in-house team.

 

Working agile to stay in charge

Truth to be told, e-Commerce projects are too complex to be done linearly. Therefore, we divide the estimated timeline into short sprints. Each sprint, we decide together which tasks should be done first to build the MVP. This way, you and the team stay in charge when circumstances change and insights evolve. Our Scrum Masters and a dedicated Product Owner lead the process.

Based on the project scope we will form the team that will work on the project. The technical team lead will take care of the tasks together with the team members. We will follow the scrum principles.

Kickoff meeting

A kickoff meeting is more than just the start of a new project. It’s a celebratory moment with everyone who’s involved. Let’s get the project started!
