Answers to real questions
Why headless instead of Shopify or WooCommerce?
On closed platforms you are limited by the theme, plugins and their speed. Headless gives you your own Next.js frontend, full control over UX and integrations without compromise, on a backend that scales with you.
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
A custom headless store starts from a few weeks, depending on catalog and integrations. We run a short discovery, then send a clear scoped quote. Call 0770 129 502 for an estimate.
Can I migrate my current store without losing data or SEO?
Yes. We import products, orders and customers into the new PostgreSQL database and keep the URL structure with 301 redirects, so you do not lose your Google rankings.
