The challenge
A monolithic storefront slowed to a crawl at peak season, and every merchandising change needed a developer.
Our approach
We moved to a headless, composable architecture with an edge-rendered storefront, a rebuilt checkout and tools the merchandising team can run themselves.
What we built
- Edge-rendered storefront built for Core Web Vitals
- Rebuilt checkout with fewer steps and saved payment methods
- Search and personalised merchandising the business can tune
- Load-tested for seasonal traffic spikes
Technology
- Next.js
- Node.js
- Algolia
- Vercel
