What is a project accelerator?
What a software vendor can provide to help this approach is providing some sort of accelerator offering, a set of standardized features, technologies solutions, and integration pre-compiled and pre-configured to get the project up to speed quickly, supplemented by a strong dedication to finding simple, efficient methods to customize the solution.
Project accelerators represent the best of the breed of what a development agency can provide for a specific problem, client type, or market segment. If taken seriously, they are the results of a great deal of experimentation, innovation, feature development, tweaking and optimization, and sometimes failures as well, crystallizing the best solutions and practices in a ready-to-use fashion.
In this way accelerator solutions address real-life client needs, not only making it possible to launch a webshop quicker in a more controllable way but may provide huge added value in terms of features, performance, reliability, and stability.
The project accelerator approach certainly reduces time to market in all cases but the fewer additional features are required on top of a standard package, the more streamlined it can be.
How can we accelerate a Magento PWA Studio Project?
Headless E-commerce with single page PWA is a new technology and there are always some lessons to learn during the first few projects. Starting with an accelerator solution, can bring a huge advantage.
Our PWA Studio accelerator packages speeds up site build and UX design, optimizing performance, setting up hosting, dealing with SEO, handling multi-language and multi-currency, adding payment methods, extending checkout and dashboard.
The Agile accelerator approach
In addition to our accelerator packages, which mainly delivers technological solutions, we advocate an Agile approach starting with an extensive project discovery and agreeing on an MVP – minimum viable product – close enough to our existing prototypes.
Let us see how our PWA Studio Accelerator packages can make launching a new webshop on top of PWA Studio quicker.
