Online stores
Headless Shopify stores: a storefront of your own, coded in Next.js.
Coday codes the storefront of your online store, while products, stock and orders are managed in Shopify, and the quote gives you a binding fixed price.
What a higher conversion rate is worth
Work it out with your annual revenue and your own assumption.
€500,000.00
+1 %
More revenue per year, on your assumption
+€5,000.00
Annual revenue × your assumption, with visitors and order value unchanged. The assumption is relative: +10 % means a conversion rate of 2.0 % becomes 2.2 %.
No promise: how much a new store changes the conversion rate cannot be known in advance. In a free first call we look at your store together.
Shopify with a theme or headless
Two ways to build the store, compared. Which fits your stage?
FeatureShopify with a themeShopify headless (Next.js)
Time to launch
Short, with a ready-made theme
Longer, the storefront is coded
Running costs
Shopify plan and app fees
Shopify plan and hosting for the storefront
Load time
Depends on the theme and the installed apps
In the developer’s hands: images, code and fonts
Design
Within the limits of the theme
Free, following your brand
Recommendation: headless pays off when the design has to do more than a theme allows.

Site builder, Shopify theme or a custom storefront?
If you want an online store built, there are roughly three routes: run a site builder yourself, have a ready-made Shopify theme adapted, or have the storefront coded for you with Shopify running behind it. Coday offers the last two routes: a ready-made Shopify store or a custom-coded storefront.
You manage products, stock and orders in Shopify. The pages your customers see are coded by owner Umutcan Emre Tezgel in Next.js and Tailwind CSS, so the design follows your brand rather than a theme.
Whether that is worth it for your range or a Shopify theme is enough is something we work out in a free first call. You then receive a quote with a binding fixed price, and the source code when the project is completed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the scope: how many pages the website has, which features it needs and whether texts and images still have to be created. After a free first call you receive a quote with a binding fixed price. It only changes if you order additional work.
Do you work with WordPress?
No. Coday programs websites itself, with Next.js, React and Tailwind CSS. Instead of a site builder or a WordPress theme with plugins, you get code of your own that contains only what your website needs.
Do you offer maintenance?
Technical errors caused by the work of Coday are fixed free of charge during the first 30 days after handover. Ongoing care (maintenance and support by agreement) is optional; a care contract can be cancelled with 30 days notice to the end of a month.
How long does a project take?
That depends on the scope and on when content and feedback arrive. The schedule is set in the quote once pages, features and content are clear.
Where is the data hosted?
That depends on the hosting set in the quote; Coday sets it up for you on request. Contact forms are built with a privacy notice and consent so that enquiries arrive under the rules of the GDPR.
Headless commerce
What headless means for a Shopify store
A storefront of your own
The pages your customers see are coded by Coday in Next.js and follow your brand rather than a theme.
Shopify behind it
You manage products, stock and orders in Shopify; the storefront reads them through Shopify's interface.
Checkout built for phones
The path to an order is planned for use on a phone.
Headless means Shopify stays the till and the stockroom, while the shop window is code of its own. That pays off when the design has to do more than a theme allows; if a theme is enough, standard Shopify is the simpler route.
