Headless Next.js Frontend Development

From a rented theme to a Next.js storefront you own.

Your backend already works — catalog, checkout, orders all flow. It's the theme that's the ceiling: load times past 3 seconds on sale days, designs Liquid can't express, SEO you can't fully control. This engagement rebuilds only the frontend — a Next.js storefront on the Shopify, Medusa.js, or Vendure backend you already run. ₹4,00,000 + GST fixed, 3–4 months, full code ownership.

₹1,00,000 more buys ₹2,75,000 of engagements.

This build assumes your design files are dev-ready and your store is already in shape. If either isn't true, the enterprise bundle is usually the cheaper path — same headless build, three engagements folded in.

vs ₹4,00,000 standalone

Three engagements, ≈₹2,75,000 bought separately — folded in for the ₹1,00,000 difference. One team, one scope, one timeline.

What we build

The engine stays. The front gets rebuilt.

Six things the ₹4,00,000 ships — on the Shopify, Medusa.js, or Vendure backend you already operate.

  • A Next.js frontend you own

    Your storefront rebuilt as a Next.js app — server-rendered and statically generated, deployed on Vercel's edge or your own India-region server. You control the UI, the SEO, and the render down to the component.

  • On the backend you already run

    Shopify's Storefront API, or your existing Medusa.js / Vendure instance. We integrate with the engine you operate today — no replatforming, no backend migration.

  • Core Web Vitals, controlled

    Static and server-rendered pages, image and bundle discipline, ISR that refreshes on a webhook instead of a timer. Google's bar for a good LCP is 2.5 seconds — we build to beat it.

  • Built for peak traffic

    Diwali, EOSS, a flash-sale spike — static and edge-served pages absorb the surge, so the ads you run on a sale day land on a page that loads, not a spinner.

  • SEO carried over, not gambled

    301 redirects mapped for every legacy URL, metadata and schema emitted from the new storefront — you keep the search equity the old store earned.

  • Full ownership, no lock-in

    Complete source, the deployment project, and documentation handed over. Swap the frontend or move the backend later without rebuilding everything.

Timeline

Fit check to cutover — 3–4 months.

Frontend-only work on a working backend is the shortest headless path there is. We've never missed a timeline.

Straight answer

When you should not buy this.

Below roughly ₹50L/month in revenue, don't. A good theme still does the job at that scale, and the same budget spent on the ₹50,000 store build plus the ₹75,000 CRO pass returns more than a headless rebuild.

And if your design files aren't dev-ready or the store itself still needs work, the standalone build is the wrong door — buying design and store setup separately erases most of the ₹1,00,000 you saved. Take the bundle instead; it exists for exactly that case.

Process

How the 3–4 months run — milestone by milestone.

Complete transparency. Six milestones from fit check to handover, each with what we ship and what you receive.

  • Milestone 01Week 1

    Fit Check — Honestly

    A 30-minute call to confirm a headless frontend is right for you — before any money moves.

    • Under roughly ₹50L/month, we'll usually tell you to stay on a good theme — the same budget on CRO and acquisition returns more at that scale.
    • We check the two standalone prerequisites on the call: dev-ready design files, and a store/backend that's already in shape. Missing either usually makes the bundle the cheaper path — we'll say so.
    • If the fit is right, you get access to our client portal at portal.growwwtech.com for feedback, approvals, and progress tracking.

    You'll receive

    • Straight fit verdict on the call
    • Client portal access
    • Current-store audit notes
  • Milestone 02Weeks 2–3

    Architecture + Scope

    We map the storefront, the API surface, and the render strategy against the backend you already run — then the scope is fixed in writing.

    • Per-page render strategy: static, server-rendered, or ISR — decided by how often the content changes, not by default.
    • Your backend stays where it is: Shopify's Storefront API, or the Medusa.js / Vendure instance you already operate. We integrate; we don't rebuild the engine.
    • Checkout follows your backend — Shopify's hosted checkout stays on Shopify headless; on Medusa.js or Vendure your existing payment wiring carries over.

    You'll receive

    • Architecture map
    • Fixed written scope
    • Render strategy per page type
  • Milestone 03Months 1–3

    Build in Sprints

    The Next.js storefront built from your design files — 2-week sprints, weekly demos on a staging URL.

    • You watch the store take shape on staging every week — no three-month silence, no big reveal.
    • Built from your dev-ready design files as drawn. If the files aren't ready, the UI/UX design engagement (₹1,50,000) or the bundle covers it.
    • Storefront talks to the backend over GraphQL; either side can be swapped later without rebuilding the other.

    You'll receive

    • Weekly staging demos
    • Next.js storefront (SSR / static / ISR)
    • Backend integration over the storefront API
  • Milestone 04Final weeks

    Performance + SEO Pass

    Core Web Vitals green, metadata and schema wired, and every old URL mapped so you keep your search equity through the cutover.

    • Google's bar for a good LCP is 2.5 seconds — we build to beat it. Speed comes from how it's built, not the architecture alone.
    • 301 redirects mapped for every legacy URL; metadata and structured data emitted from the storefront you own.

    You'll receive

    • Core Web Vitals report
    • Redirect map + schema wiring
  • Milestone 05Month 3–4

    Launch + Handover

    Cut over with no downtime — rewiring the building with the lights on. Then everything is handed over.

    • Zero-downtime cutover, monitored through the first sale days.
    • Complete source code, the deployment project, and documentation — full ownership, no lock-in, no AMC.

    You'll receive

    • Zero-downtime launch
    • Full code + deployment handover
    • Documentation written for your team
  • Milestone 06

    Out-of-Scope Work Policy

    Any request beyond the fixed written scope is out-of-scope work — handled transparently, never silently billed.

    • Store development, design, CRO, backend changes, and ERP/B2B integrations are separate engagements — the bundle exists precisely to price the common ones together.
    • Smaller extras are tracked in the Growww Tech client portal and billed only with your approval.

    You'll receive

    • Transparent time tracking via portal
    • Prior intimation before any additional billing
Scope boundaries

What we need from you. What we don't do.

No surprises post-kickoff. Here is the assumption boundary on both sides — and most of the right column is exactly what the bundle folds in.

What we need from you

  • Dev-ready design files (Figma) — no files yet? The ₹1,50,000 UI/UX engagement or the bundle covers it
  • A store/backend already in shape — catalog, pricing, and checkout working today
  • API access to your backend (Storefront API token, or your Medusa.js / Vendure instance)
  • Access to analytics and Search Console for the audit and redirect map
  • A decision-maker on the weekly demo call
  • Consolidated feedback within 3 working days per review round

What's not included

  • Store development — catalog, payments, shipping, GST setup (₹50,000 standalone, or folded into the bundle)
  • UI/UX design — we build from your files; drawing them is the ₹1,50,000 engagement (or the bundle)
  • CRO — the 344-point pass is ₹75,000 standalone (or folded into the bundle)
  • Backend setup or migration — moving platforms is bundle/enterprise scope
  • ERP integration and complex B2B logic — scoped and priced separately
  • Copywriting, product photography, and video
  • Backend hosting and platform fees — servers, Shopify subscription, gateway charges are billed to you directly
