In e-commerce, speed is everything. You invest in paid ads, optimise your funnels, automate your backend workflows, yet when it’s time to launch a new campaign or refresh a homepage, your team hits a wall:

• “We need to brief the dev team.”
• “It’s not in the sprint.”
• “That’ll be ready in 3 weeks.”

The problem isn’t your backend. It’s your frontend.

The Backend Moved On. Why Hasn’t the Frontend?

E-commerce infrastructure has evolved rapidly:

• Shopify, Shopware, commercetools give you API-first commerce engines

• Contentful, Storyblok, Sanity offer headless CMS solutions

• Algolia, Elastic, and others power search and personalization

• Akeneo, Plytix, and prodexa handle product data and PIM

It’s all modular. It’s all composable.

But your frontend, the part your customers actually see—remains stuck:

• Hard-coded

• Developer-only

• Tied to rigid templates

• Painful to update

• Expensive to maintain

It’s the bottleneck you didn’t know was draining your team’s time—and your business’s momentum.

Symptoms of a Frontend Bottleneck

How do you know your frontend is holding you back? Look for these signs:

• Slow Time-to-Campaign - Launching a new offer takes weeks, not hours—because every change goes through developers.

• Marketing = Ticket Factory - Non-technical teams can’t touch the storefront. Instead, they file Jira tickets for every image swap, banner update, or new section.

• Design Inconsistencies - Without a structured system for frontend components, layouts become messy over time. Brand consistency suffers.

• Endless Rebuild Cycles - Every 12–18 months, it’s time to “rebuild the frontend” again—burning budget, slowing progress, and repeating mistakes.

• Poor Performance - Slow page loads, bad Core Web Vitals, SEO issues, because performance is treated as a one-time launch checklist, not an ongoing discipline.

What’s Missing: A Frontend Management Layer

In modern commerce, your backend is composed. Your data is structured. Your marketing stack is connected.

So why is your frontend a disconnected pile of:

• Figma mockups

• Slack threads

• Dev tickets

• Code reviews

• Manual deployments?

What you need is a frontend management platform, a system that gives both structure and flexibility to the most customer-facing part of your stack.
