Headless Shopify

Headless is powerful, and often oversold

A headless storefront can give you speed and design freedom a theme cannot. It also adds hosting, build and maintenance costs, and some Shopify apps stop working. Many brands go headless without needing to.

I start with whether headless fits your goals, then build it properly if it does. See Hydrogen developer and headless commerce developer.

What you get

What the service covers

  • Fit assessment — an honest look at whether headless or an Online Store 2.0 theme is right.

  • Speed — server rendering and caching for fast first loads.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is headless Shopify worth it?
For brands with complex content, many markets or strict speed needs, it can be. For many stores, a well-built theme is faster to build and cheaper to run. I tell you which.
Hydrogen or Next.js?
Hydrogen fits tightly with Shopify and Oxygen hosting. Next.js suits teams that already use it. Both work well.
Does checkout change?
No. Checkout stays on Shopify, so payments and security are unchanged.
How much does it cost?
Project work is fixed-price against a defined scope, so you know the full cost before we start. The discovery call is always free.
How fast can you start?
Discovery calls happen within days; kickoff is usually 1-2 weeks out. If you have a hard launch date, say so on the first call and I will tell you plainly if it is achievable.
