FAQs

What is headless development?

Headless development is a modern web architecture where the frontend (what your users interact with) is decoupled from the backend (where your content and data live). Instead of relying on a monolithic system, content is delivered via APIs to any frontend — websites, apps, or other digital platforms. This approach gives you the freedom to design unique experiences, improve site performance, and scale effortlessly as your needs evolve.

Is headless right for my business?

If you’re aiming for faster load times, flexible design, omnichannel publishing, or personalised user experiences, then headless is likely a great fit. It’s especially ideal for growing brands that want to future-proof their tech stack and maintain agility in a competitive market. Whether you’re running a content-rich site, an e-commerce platform, or a SaaS product, headless gives you the control to scale with confidence.

Will I be able to manage content easily?

Definitely. With Sanity CMS, your team gets a streamlined, user-friendly editing environment that’s fully customisable to your workflow. From live previews and real-time collaboration to structured content and version control, Sanity empowers marketers and editors to manage content independently — no developer required.

Can I keep my current Shopify store?

Yes! You can keep your existing Shopify backend — including inventory, payments, and product management — while we build a fully custom, high-performance frontend tailored to your brand. Using Shopify’s Storefront API, we unlock total creative freedom and deliver a shopping experience that’s faster, more engaging, and fully aligned with your brand identity.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Absolutely. We don’t just launch and leave — we offer continuous support to keep your digital product running smoothly. From performance optimisation and security updates to feature enhancements and tech troubleshooting, we’re here to help your platform evolve with your business.
