Building a Scalable, High-Performance Website Using Headless Commerce
Overview
A company from the Netherlands approached us for our expertise in complex systems to help them grow their network in electronics, food, and other industries. They needed a fast, responsive, and user-friendly website to sell their neuroscience-backed Nootropics products, which enhance memory, focus, and concentration.
We developed a visually appealing site that efficiently manages order scheduling and recurring payments. Using a top-notch technology stack and our best developers, we successfully delivered a solution that meets their needs and elevates their services.

Problem
The client, seeking a fast and responsive platform to sell cognitive supplements, required assistance in planning due to a lack of tech-savvy. They prioritized faster page loading times and smooth performance to enhance user experience and conversion rates. The solution needed to be scalable to manage growing traffic and sales without compromising user experience. Additionally, the website should easily integrate with other systems, such as review systems, payment gateways, and marketing services.
01.
Easy Profile Management
Every customer must have control over their personal details, right? Therefore, we designed a visible human icon representing the profile of the customers. By clicking on the icon, customers will be able to manage their shipping address, check order history, track orders, and download invoices.
02.
Convenient Payment Options
When a customer purchases something on the platform, their payment details get saved automatically for the next purchases. However, customers can review details and remove or add new ones if they want while placing orders.
03.
Subscription
The client’s product is cognitive supplements to optimize brain functions that customers will need regularly. Hence, we have created a unique subscription feature to allow customers to get the monthly delivery of their favorite supplements as per quantity, size, and type of their choice.
Challenges
One of the main challenges that we faced during the project was integrating Gatsby with Shopify as the backend. This required a high level of technical expertise and required our team to develop custom solutions to bridge the two systems.
Another challenging aspect was to optimize the performance of the website to meet the client’s requirement of load speed and GTMatrix percentage (near 70% & less than 2 seconds). This required a lot of testing, experimentation, and fine-tuning to achieve the desired results.
Customizing the website to the client’s specific needs and branding requirements was a challenge as the client’s requirements were complex and required a lot of customization. On the other hand, we had to ensure the eCommerce website meets industry standards for security and compliance as well as is easy to manage and update for the client’s team after the development phase.
Outcomes
Our team of web developers worked closely with the client to understand their needs and develop a website that met their goals. We used the latest web development technologies and best practices to create a fast, responsive, and user-friendly website that was optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
For branding purposes, we designed a custom theme with a clean and modern design, easy navigation, and detailed product information, as well as customer reviews and testimonials. It makes the eCommerce platform secure and easy to use, simplifying it for customers to purchase products online.
Overall, the website we built exceeded their expectations and helped drive sales and increase brand awareness. We are proud to have played a part in their success and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
