Headless frontends

Front ends that change at their own pace, without waiting for the content or commerce platform behind them.

We separate the front end from content and commerce back ends, so each can change on its own schedule. The work covers the rendering approach (server, static or edge), a backend-for-frontend layer, caching rules and the content model editors use.

On bilingual sites, the content model holds Arabic and English as linked versions of the same item, so editors publish both together and search engines see the right language and direction for each page.

What the engagement covers

  • Rendering strategy

    Server, static or edge rendering chosen per page type, based on how fresh and how fast each page must be.

  • Backend-for-frontend

    An API layer shaped for each front end, so screens do not call many back-end services directly.

  • Content model

    Structured content types and preview workflows that let editors publish without developer help.

  • Engineering in your repositories

    Code, pipelines and documentation live in your repositories from the first commit.

  • Security and performance

    Security checks and performance budgets run in every build, not as a review at the end.

When a headless front end makes sense

It makes sense when the back-end platform slows every front-end change, or when several channels need the same content.

  • Small interface changes wait for a platform release.
  • The same content is copied by hand into the website, the app and other channels.
  • Page speed is limited by the templates the platform allows.
