WLLW: Migrating from Headless Wagtail to a Streamlined Shopify Build

• Migration from a headless Wagtail + Shopify stack to a unified Shopify build
• Site redesign
• Consolidation of systems
• Performance improvements

Unwinding WLLW's headless Wagtail and Shopify stack

WLLW previously ran a headless setup pairing Wagtail with Shopify. According to Minion, that architecture created unnecessary technical overhead and slowed down both content and product management for the WLLW team. Minion replaced it with a unified Shopify experience, consolidating the separate systems into one build.

Alongside the migration, Minion redesigned the WLLW site and improved its performance. Minion reports the result as an easier, faster workflow that the WLLW team can manage without developers, with content and products handled in one Shopify build instead of a headless stack.
