Technologies
Progressive Web Apps
PWA’s bring app-like functionality to modern websites and our team has a significant amount of experience building them. PWA’s provide a faster and better overall user experience, increasing engagement and producing higher conversion rates for transactional sites.
Custom Product Configurators
ZaneRay has designed and developed a number of custom product configurators for many of our brand partners. We have a deep level of expertise in conceptualizing and building shopping tools that enable customers to configure and purchase complicated product sets.
B2B Integrations
B2B solutions have been a part of ZaneRay’s core competency from the very start. Leveraging that depth of knowledge and experience, we’ve discovered new and creative ways to integrate the D2C and B2B experiences for many of our brand partners.
SPA Architecture
A single-page application (SPA) is a web application that dynamically updates the view instead of requesting a new page to load. This architecture decouples the content and presentation layers, allowing our team to create dynamic e-commerce experiences without compromising performance.
Headless Architecture
ZaneRay was an early adopter of headless, having designed a number of headless sites for our partners. We have a significant amount of expertise working in this framework and even won a headless award for our work with Yeti Cycles.
Headless Accelerator Store
ZaneRay’s headless accelerator store contains all of the foundational building blocks that are required to support and stand up a headless ecommerce site quickly. Leveraging our middleware, brands are able to add future business service applications via API’s as needed.
Middleware
Middleware serves as the connector of applications and backend services for headless implementations. Whether connecting via APIs or custom endpoints, our middleware provides a quick way to establish data connections between the front and backend services.
