Is Headless Commerce right for my business?

Headless is best for brands with >$10M GMV who feel limited by their current platform's frontend, need extreme site speed, or require unique omnichannel experiences. If you just need a standard store, a monolithic setup might be more cost-effective.

Will going headless hurt my SEO?

It can if done poorly. However, IWD builds using Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Next.js, which renders pages fully before they reach the bot. This actually improves SEO due to superior Core Web Vitals scores.

Can I use Shopify or Magento as the backend?

Absolutely. We frequently build "Headless Shopify" (using Hydrogen or custom React) and "Headless Magento" (using PWA Studio). This gives you the robust checkout and admin of those platforms with a custom frontend.

Does headless cost more to maintain?

Initially, yes, as there are more separate pieces to manage (frontend hosting, backend, CMS). However, the increase in conversion rate (often 20-50%) and the reduction in developer hours for marketing updates usually generates a massive positive ROI.

ENTERPRISE HEADLESS COMMERCE AGENCY

Break free from the monolith. We architect API-first, decoupled frontends that deliver sub-second load times and limitless creative freedom for high-growth brands.

WHY BRANDS GO HEADLESS

SUB-SECOND SPEED

Monoliths are slow. Headless sites load static content via CDNs at the edge, achieving near-instant page loads that dramatically boost conversion rates and SEO scores.

OMNICHANNEL READY

Your backend powers everything. Push products via API not just to your website, but to mobile apps, smart watches, in-store kiosks, and social marketplaces simultaneously.

UNLIMITED UX FREEDOM

Stop fighting with rigid themes. With a decoupled frontend, our designers can build any user experience imaginable without being constrained by the backend's templating engine.

FASTER INNOVATION

Marketing can launch campaigns on a CMS like Contentful while developers update the backend code. No dependencies mean faster sprints and quicker time-to-market.

THE DECOUPLING PROCESS

THE CHALLENGES OF GOING HEADLESS (AND HOW WE SOLVE THEM)

SEO PRESERVATION

Headless sites effectively remove the "page" structure robots look for. We use Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG) to ensure Google can crawl every product perfectly.

COMPLEXITY MANAGEMENT

Managing multiple systems (Frontend + Backend + CMS) can be hard. We create unified documentation and automated deployment pipelines (CI/CD) to keep operations simple.

APP INTEGRATION

Not all apps work with headless. We audit your tech stack and build custom API connectors for your reviews, loyalty, and search tools if native support isn't available.

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

Headless is an investment. We focus on ROI, optimizing hosting costs and automating workflows to ensure the performance gains justify the architectural shift.
