Storefront design

Review my PWA storefrontWhat’s included
  • Next.js Commerce, Alokai, ScandiPWA, PWA Studio
  • UX design for app-like shopping
  • Migration plans for ageing PWAs

Headless and PWA storefront design creates app-like shopping experiences on frameworks such as Next.js, Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront), ScandiPWA or Adobe’s PWA Studio, with Adobe Commerce as the back end. For stores already on an older PWA, the first job is deciding whether to keep, migrate or rebuild.

Keep, migrate or rebuild?

Our recommendation for stores on an existing PWA depends on three things.

Keep
  • It works and converts
  • Your team can maintain it
  • Upgrades are manageable
Migrate
  • Framework is ageing
  • Hard to hire for
  • Move to Next.js, Alokai or Edge Delivery
Rebuild on a theme
  • Headless is no longer needed
  • Speed is the main goal
  • Hyvä or Breeze is cheaper to run

Frequently asked questions

Is Vue Storefront still around?

Yes, under a new name: Vue Storefront became Alokai in March 2024.

Should I keep my PWA Studio storefront?

If it works and your team can maintain it, keep it and update carefully. If upgrades are painful, compare a move to Edge Delivery, Next.js or a Hyvä or Breeze theme.

Running an older PWA?

We will review it and recommend keep, migrate or rebuild, with reasons.
