Headless commerce separates your storefront from your commerce engine, so the experience your customers see is no longer limited by a rigid theme or plugin stack. I build the front end with modern tools like Medusa and Shopify Hydrogen, then connect it to your back-end over an API. The result is a store that loads faster, ranks better, and gives you complete control over design, content, and checkout flow.
This approach pays off where it matters: speed and conversions. Decoupled storefronts serve pre-rendered, edge-cached pages and ship only the code each page needs, which improves Core Web Vitals and keeps shoppers moving toward checkout. You also gain the freedom to add custom features, integrate any service, and scale without fighting the constraints of an all-in-one platform. I help you pick the right foundation and ship a storefront built for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is headless commerce?
Headless commerce separates your storefront (the front end customers see) from your commerce back-end (carts, inventory, orders, payments). The two communicate over an API, so your storefront can be built with modern tools for speed and flexibility while the back-end handles the heavy lifting independently.
What is the difference between Medusa and Shopify Hydrogen?
Medusa is an open-source, self-hosted commerce engine that gives you full control over data, hosting, and customization with no per-transaction lock-in. Shopify Hydrogen is a React framework for building custom storefronts on top of Shopify, so you keep Shopify checkout and admin while owning the front-end experience. I help you choose the right fit based on your catalog, budget, and team.
Will a headless build be faster than my current store?
Almost always. Decoupled storefronts serve pre-rendered or edge-cached pages and load only the code each page needs, which improves Core Web Vitals and time-to-interactive. Faster pages typically mean better search rankings and higher conversion rates.
Can I keep my existing back-end and just rebuild the front end?
Often yes. If you are on Shopify, Hydrogen lets you keep your products, inventory, and checkout while replacing only the storefront. For other platforms, I assess your APIs and either connect to the existing back-end or recommend Medusa where a clean break makes sense.
Do you provide support after the storefront launches?
Yes. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support to resolve issues and fine-tune performance. Optional ongoing maintenance and feature-development retainers are available to keep your storefront fast, secure, and current.
