No data duplication. No sync jobs. Always source‑of‑truth.
Multi‑Market at the Flip of a Switch
pin up localized storefronts with cloned layouts, translated content keys, currency formatting, and per‑market overrides.

Governance, Preview, and Safe Velocity
Workflows designed for teams
Laioutr is the all-in-one frontend layer for headless commerce
Laioutr is the all-in-one frontend layer for headless commerce, whether on Sylius or other platforms. It enables faster go-lives, visual editing, and performance-optimized delivery, without hiring an army of developers.
Sylius Headless gives full backend freedom but no frontend layer, meaning longer time-to-market and higher implementation cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sylius nails domain logic, catalog, carts, promotions, pricing, extensibility. But the frontend layer typically becomes:
-
Ticket‑driven: Every change needs a PR and a deployment.
-
Hard to scale globally: New markets mean duplicated templates and config.
-
Performance‑sensitive: Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals depend on how your team builds.
-
Integration‑heavy: CMS, PIM, search, CDP = more glue code.
This is perfect if you want complete code control. It’s painful when business users need to move daily.
No. Sylius remains your commerce engine. Laioutr is the frontend management layer.
Developers own components and data bindings. Business users assemble within guardrails.
Expose it via your APIs; bind it to components. Promotions, B2B terms, availability—all supported.
Edge delivery, image optimization, CWV‑minded defaults, and full control over meta/structured data.
Laioutr reads live from your APIs; it doesn’t copy customer or product data into a separate store.
Common Sylius Scenarios, Solved with Laioutr
Campaign pages without sprints: Launch seasonal collections in hours using pre‑wired product list and hero components.
B2B price lists & eligibility UI: Components read from your Sylius policies and segment logic—no code changes for merchandising teams.
Content + Commerce fusion: Pull long‑form content from a headless CMS alongside Sylius product data in a single page builder.
