Why Laioutr Is the Perfect Frontend Platform for Sylius

Sylius is one of the most developer-friendly commerce engines on the market, open-source, API-first, and built with Symfony under the hood. It’s perfect for brands that need flexibility, custom business logic, and headless capabilities.

But if you're using Sylius and still building your frontend manually, you're missing a massive opportunity.

• Sylius gives you full backend control.
• Laioutr gives you full frontend velocity.

Here’s why Laioutr is the perfect frontend partner for Sylius and how the combination unlocks speed, scalability, and composable power across your entire commerce stack.

Sylius Powers the Backend. But What About the Frontend?

Sylius excels at:

• Custom checkout flows

• Complex pricing and product structures

• Event-driven business logic

• Extensibility through Symfony bundles

• Developer freedom

But its frontend options are minimal:

• Twig templates by default

• Headless is possible, but requires building your own frontend

• No visual editing or non-dev workflows

• No built-in system for component reuse, theming, or localization

That’s where most Sylius projects slow down, or become overly dependent on long dev cycles.

Laioutr Completes the Sylius Stack

Laioutr is a Frontend Management Platform that turns your Sylius backend into a fully flexible, high-performance, marketer-friendly storefront. Here’s how:

1. Visual Frontend Layer for Fast Iteration

Your marketing team can build, edit, and launch pages using a visual editor without touching Twig, Vue, or React code.

2. Composable Integration with Sylius APIs

Laioutr connects directly to your Sylius backend via GraphQL or REST:

• Products

• Categories

• Carts

• Checkout

• Custom endpoints

Use your Sylius logic, but power the experience through Laioutr’s UI system.

3. Component-Based Architecture

Developers define reusable UI blocks that match your design system.
Marketers use those blocks to assemble storefronts without breaking design rules.

4. Localization, Theming and Multistore Support

Need multi-language? Multi-brand? B2B/B2C variations? Laioutr handles:

• Theme tokens

• Layout versioning

• Per-market components

• Visual previews before publish

5. Edge-Delivered, Performance-Optimised

Laioutr frontends are deployed via edge CDN with:

• Built-in lazy loading

• Image optimisation

• Core Web Vitals compliance

• Accessible-by-default components

You get the flexibility of Sylius without frontend bottlenecks.

Why Not Just Build Your Own Frontend for Sylius?

Of course you can build a custom frontend on top of Sylius, it’s headless-ready. But here’s what you’ll need to manage:

• Hosting and deployment

• Performance optimization

• Localization logic

• CMS integration

• Component structure and reusability

• Visual editing tools for non-devs

• QA, testing, versioning

That’s not just code, it’s infrastructure. Laioutr gives you all of that, out of the box.

Laioutr + Sylius = Backend Control + Frontend Agility

Together, Sylius and Laioutr create a fully composable commerce stack:
