<h2>Start building with Zesty's headless commerce CMS</h2>

A customer-focused solution for providing world-class online shopping experiences.

<h2 dir="ltr">The power of headless commerce</h2>
<p dir="ltr">With consumers shopping across a wide range of channels, it's more important than ever to create seamless ecommerce experiences. Headless commerce separates the front-end visual content from the backend commerce functions to allow for more flexibility, greater customization and speedier experiences across commerce channels.</p>

<h3>Headless Commerce</h3>
<p>Flexible user experience</p>
<p>Decoupled frontend/backend</p>
<p>Deliver content across any device</p>
<p>Limitless commerce experiences</p>

<h3>Traditional Commerce</h3>
<p>Fixed user experience</p>
<p>Coupled frontend/backend</p>
<p>Limited content creation</p>
<p>Limited commerce experiences</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Traditional vs headless commerce</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The main difference between headless and traditional commerce is the ability to seamlessly place content across multiple channels. In a traditional commerce setup, updating new items across web, mobile and other devices requires more development time and resources.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Why choose Zesty as your headless commerce solution?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Zesty provides headless commerce without the headache so you can spend less time developing and more time selling.</p>
