A Shopify store that
loads in under a second.

A good theme gets you to around 55 on mobile Lighthouse. A headless Next.js storefront gets you to 85 or higher. On mobile that is the difference between a 4-second load and a 1-second load, which on most sites lifts conversion between 8 and 20 percent. You also get complete design freedom, no app bloat, and a frontend any Next.js developer can maintain.

Most. Anything that runs in the admin (inventory, orders, shipping, taxes, Klaviyo, Recharge, reviews platforms that expose a Storefront API) works unchanged. Apps that inject Liquid into the theme have to be reimplemented on the storefront side. We audit your app stack in Week 1 and call out anything that needs a swap before we start.

Hydrogen is Shopify's own React framework, tightly coupled to Oxygen hosting and Shopify's opinionated structure. We build on Next.js and host on Vercel. You get the same Storefront API access with a much larger ecosystem, a frontend any Next.js developer can work on, and zero vendor lock-in beyond Shopify itself.

We inventory every indexed URL, build a 301 redirect map, preserve canonical and metadata structure, and resubmit your sitemap to Search Console on launch day. Done right, traffic is stable or up within 2 weeks. We monitor every day of the first month and catch any drops before they compound.

No. Checkout stays on Shopify. We hand users off at the cart-to-checkout step using Shopify's checkout URL. That keeps you PCI compliant through Shopify, keeps Shop Pay and Apple Pay working, and means we never touch the part of your funnel that matters most.

No. Those page builders are theme-layer tools. On a headless build, your content lives either in Shopify metafields, in a CMS (Sanity, Payload), or directly in the codebase edited through Cursor. We pick the right approach based on who will be editing and how often.

Standard catalogs under 200 SKUs ship in 6 to 8 weeks. Larger catalogs, Shopify Plus setups, and multi-market builds extend both scope and timeline. Pricing is fixed-fee and milestone-based, scoped in the first week and agreed before any work starts. No hourly billing, no surprise change orders. Every engagement includes source code ownership and the first 12 weeks of post-launch performance monitoring. We share specific numbers on a scoping call.

Yes, through Platform Care. Monthly retainer with three tiers: Lite at EUR 1,500, Pro at EUR 2,500, Scale at EUR 5,000 per month. Covers automated dependency updates, weekly performance and SEO reports, and reserved dev time for features and fixes. Most Shopify clients land on Care Pro once launch month settles.
