Considering headless?

A custom front end can do what a theme can't — and costs more to run

Headless storefronts on Next.js suit some stores and are an expensive detour for most. Our headless page sets out when it pays off, which route fits your platform and what it costs to run.

Is headless right for you?

FAQ

Shopify questions

What does a Shopify development agency do?

A Shopify development agency plans, builds and improves Shopify stores. That includes custom themes and sections, app and API integrations, checkout work, migrations from other platforms, performance and SEO improvements, and ongoing support after launch. 1Dot Digital provides these services for U.S. ecommerce brands.

Can You Work With Our Existing Shopify Theme?

Yes, after an audit. We review how the theme is built, which apps it depends on and how much custom code it carries. If it has been heavily modified, we'll explain the trade-offs of keeping it versus rebuilding so you can decide with the facts.

Do We Need Shopify Plus?

Only if your requirements call for it. Plus is worth considering for checkout customization, B2B channels, multi-store setups or advanced workflows. We compare the added platform cost against your needs and order volume before recommending it.

Can You Migrate Our Store to Shopify?

Yes. We help move stores to Shopify from platforms such as BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Volusion. Planning covers product, customer and order data, content, URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata, analytics and testing before launch. Results vary by site, so we plan for SEO continuity and monitor after launch rather than promising rankings.

How Do You Handle Apps and Store Speed?

Curated, not stacked. Each app is reviewed for script weight, overlapping features and theme compatibility before install. Where a native Shopify feature does the job, we use that instead.

Do You Build B2B and Wholesale Shopify Stores?

Yes. Shopify supports wholesale needs such as customer-specific pricing, catalogs and business accounts, and feature availability depends on your Shopify plan. We scope which features you need before recommending a plan.

Is Headless Shopify Worth It?

Rarely. Headless builds add development and hosting complexity, so we recommend them only when a specific requirement justifies the cost and a standard theme can't meet it.

Planning a Shopify Build, Redesign or Migration?

Tell us about your catalog, current platform and goals. We'll confirm whether Shopify is the right fit, then outline scope and next steps.
