The Challenge

A rapidly growing fashion retailer was held back by a slow, monolithic legacy platform. Mobile performance was poor, leading to high bounce rates, and the marketing team couldn't launch campaigns without developer support. They needed a solution that was blazingly fast, SEO-optimized, and easy to manage.

The Solution

We migrated them to a headless architecture using Next.js for the frontend and Shopify Plus for the backend. This decoupled approach allowed us to build a fully custom, app-like user experience while retaining robust e-commerce management tools.

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

    Utilized Next.js SSR for dynamic product pages, ensuring search engines can crawl every item perfectly while keeping initial load times instant.

  • Edge Caching

    Deployed on Vercel Edge Network to serve static assets from the server closest to the user, virtually eliminating latency globally.

  • Optimized Checkout Flow

    Redesigned the checkout process to be a single-page experience, reducing friction and cart abandonment significantly.

System Architecture

A composable, headless architecture that decouples the frontend from the backend, allowing independent scaling and rapid iteration.

1. Edge Delivery Network

Vercel Edge Network caches static content globally, serving users from the nearest node for millisecond TTFB.

2. Next.js Storefront

React Server Components hydrate dynamic data on the server, sending minimal JavaScript to the client for optimal performance.

3. Headless APIs

GraphQL requests fetch product data from Shopify Plus and content from Sanity CMS, stitched together at build time or on-demand.
