In this stage, BigCommerce storefront design tasks can range from minor theme customizations, to developing unique custom themes specific to your business.
While the previous stage focused on the overall appearance and more general user experience of your website, this stage focuses on adding specific features to your website. This can be achieved through a combination of various development tasks, such as plugging in BigCommerce Apps, integrations to your favorite 3rd-party software, or even developing brand-new customizations.

After you go live with BigCommerce, you may decide to add further customization based on how customers are interacting with your online store. We can provide post-go-live support through recommendations for BigCommerce or managed service plans.

BigCommerce automatically comes with a native page-builder tool included in your BigCommerce subscription fee. The native tool incorporates industry best practices in technology, SEO, and design standards while allowing BigCommerce website developers the autonomy to create masterful websites.
BigCommerce Headless gives developers the ability to get very creative with their BigCommerce site design. In the headless approach, the back-end dashboard runs independently from the front-end of the website “head”. Communication is set up between the two via an API layer. This means, the back end of the website could be run by BigCommerce, while the front end of the website could be run by WordPress (as an example). When using a Headless storefront, BigCommerce site developers can cater to the UX (user experience) in unique ways to fit merchant needs. Additionally, headless websites often run faster than standard BigCommerce sites which helps their SEO as well as providing a better customer experience than comparable slower websites.
