We build headless e‑commerce.

Our focus is on building ecommerce in a headless architecture. We use React, trusted by brands like Nike, Farfetch, and Tiffany.

Why headless:

• Unprecedented flexibility of content, simple to integrate with modern headless CMS (custom frontend built to bridge content and commerce).
• State of the art optimizations allowing for superior speed and conversions (loading times under 1 second).
• Connect with any e-commerce platform (Shopify, Commerce Tools, SAP Commerce, Magento).

After successful six years on the market, Magda Butrym approached the commerce-ui team to help with reintroducing itself to consumers. The new ecommerce, designed by acclaimed Ania et Lucie, was meant to set new standards for unique customer experience, mobile-first store design and easy checkout process.

Headless Shopify for an activewear brand from LA

SPLITS 59 is a Women's Premium Activewear Brand made in Los Angeles. Commerce-UI dev team helped Splits59 in transition from a standard liquid Shopify into modern, headless architecture. We leveraged next.js and Vercel for blazing-fast commerce experience and empowered content editors to do more with Contentful CMS.

Oura Ring

Oura monitors your body's pulse, movement, and temperature to give you a holistic picture of your health. With sales of over 150,000 rings and team of more than 100 employees globally, Oura is now a leader in the smart ring market. Recently, Oura raises $28 million series B for its health and sleep tracking ring.

We helped Oura build a new ecommerce storefront and incorporate reimagined branding by San Francisco based agency Character.

Oura’s previous technology relied on WooCommerce and WordPress. The goal was to break from the existing monolithic architecture and focus on two important metrics - flexibility and speed.

What we did:

• Consulted Oura developers about picking the right framework for the task, namely next.js.
• Delivered a React storefront with a unified API layer for easy and flexible connection with other web services (including Shopify).
• We reused blog content from the old WordPress website without needing to migrate data to a new CMS (thanks to headless approach). It saved a ton of time for the content team.
• Integrated advanced analytics including components with Segment as an underlying analytics platform.
• Advised with deployment configuration on Vercel platform for development purposes.

We knew checkout was crucial to Oura’s international success and would be continuously improved. Using our own commerce-ui framework, we delivered a flexible system of checkout components. This empowered back-end developers to almost instantly compose interface layers for the new features they worked on.

To make it easy for Oura to understand and own their new website, we created a component-based library using Storybook. Each component has stories for understanding the context and considering all possible use cases. Every color, space, and font is used from global configuration. We leveraged a design token approach for smooth communication between designers and developers.

Rolex / Seddiqi

In May 2018, Rolex and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons inaugurated the world’s largest Rolex Boutique in Dubai. The three-level structure covered an unprecedented 850 square meters of retail space. A few months earlier, we were asked to build and ship a bespoke Rolex product catalog and editorial pages — all within the existing Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons website.

Rolex watches are crafted from the finest raw materials and assembled with scrupulous attention to detail. What originates from craftsmanship extends to every customer touchpoint. Having experience with luxury brands, we could translate static designs into a fully working website in just 6 weeks. Our work was supervised by UI/UX experts from Rolex Headquarters in Geneva to meet the high Rolex standards.

Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons represents more than 60 luxury timepiece and jewelry brands across 51 destinations in the UAE. Before starting the development phase, our team performed extensive research to identify the best mobile-first patterns for store locators.

Features:

• dynamic list order based on map position
• find nearest boutiques with request location API
• filtering by brand and location
• optimised for touch geastures
