With a native Shopify build, the place where the content is stored and displayed is all one system. With a headless Shopify build, you are separating content storage from the presentation layer where the content is displayed. By separating these two elements, the front-end display layer of your Shopify site is no longer restricted by the functionality and architecture of your back-end system. In this article, our CMO breaks down some of the pros and cons of a headless build.

Our Shopify web developers form part of an overall project team assembled to manage your site build.

Shopify is an incredibly accessible platform. It’s easy to launch a store and start trading in no time, and has a lot of built in functionality to make this process easier. However there are some things merchants need to be aware of to get the most out of their stores. Site speed remains one of these critical factors. A slow loading site has many negatives: from low engagement and high bounce rates, to less traffic, lower sales and even damaged search engine ranking, it makes sense to do what you can to make your site as fast as possible. Read our article to learn some of the ways we develop sites to be optimised for speed.

As part of our Shopify development process, we’ve implemented a robust QA and testing process delivered by our inhouse engineering team who identify any bugs, defects or areas for improvement. Shopify testing covers every component of the site’s functionality and integrations. Our QA team helps prevent errors, adds value to the end product, and helps guarantee that your new Shopify site will run flawlessly on a variety of desktop and mobile devices.

Our Shopify developers use PHP and the Laravel framework for custom app development, and we also use Vue.js for custom app development. We can work with you to develop custom apps to achieve bespoke functionality in your store, creating a truly unique ecommerce experience for your customers.
