The "Template Trap"
What is Headless Ecommerce?
Headless ecommerce separates the **frontend (what users see)** from the **backend (products, checkout, CMS, payments)**.
Instead of being locked into rigid templates, your store becomes:
- Faster (better Core Web Vitals)
- More flexible (custom UI/UX for UAE audiences)
- Easier to scale (API-driven architecture)
- Better for SEO and conversions
