About MOD Lighting
MOD Lighting, a global leader in contemporary home lighting solutions, has always prioritized staying ahead in a competitive market. After achieving an impressive 314% sales increase through our successful conversion rate optimization collaboration, MOD Lighting entrusted us to drive their next digital transformation.
This time, the goal was to migrate their e-commerce platform to a headless architecture, unlocking greater flexibility, performance, and scalability. While the previous optimizations delivered exceptional results, their existing monolithic architecture posed challenges. Its rigid structure limited the ability to implement new features quickly, integrate modern tools, and deliver a seamless user experience across platforms. To maintain their leadership and support their growth, MOD Lighting needed a solution built for the future—and we delivered.
Switching to Headless Architecture
Facing limitations with their monolithic platform, MOD Lighting needed a more agile, scalable solution to sustain growth. We guided their transition to headless architecture, leveraging GatsbyJS for the frontend, Sanity CMS for content, and Shopify for e-commerce.
Our approach included tailored strategy development, seamless API and CMS integration, rigorous performance testing, and team training. The result: a flexible, high-performing platform that enhances user experience, supports rapid innovation, and positions MOD Lighting for future success.
Architecture Migration
The migration to headless architecture was executed in phases to ensure a seamless transition:
- Phase 1 - Planning: A detailed assessment of existing systems and project scope definition.
- Phase 2 - Development: Integration of a new CMS and API framework tailored to MOD Lighting's needs.
- Phase 3 - Testing: Rigorous issue resolution and performance optimization for a flawless user experience.
- Phase 4 - Deployment: Gradual rollout paired with team training for smooth adoption.
Key Benefits:
- Flexibility: Faster updates and feature rollouts across platforms.
- Performance: Enhanced speed and responsiveness, boosting user engagement.
- Cost Savings: Custom solutions reduced reliance on paid Shopify apps.
- Global Reach: Support for multiple languages, markets, and currencies.
- User Experience: Positive customer feedback on smoother, more enjoyable shopping.
MOD Lighting's move to a headless architecture is a key milestone in their digital transformation. This modern approach has brought greater flexibility, improved performance, and scalability, setting them up for growth and success in a competitive market.
