## Nacelle Reviews
  ### 1. Great Support. Solid Performance Uplift. Would Recommend!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben B. | Head of Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

Their technical support is a game changer. Their success managers help guide us through setup, work directly with our developers and act as a liason between Vercel and other tools needed to move our site to a headless environment.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

As the product is still new within the past few years, there are plenty of updates being made. Their roadmap is extensive, which I feel is a good thing and a strong indication of future improvements. Overall I'm a bit less technical so it's not as clear things I can do to make changes to my site without the support of our development team. Perhaps though that's how it's intended?

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

More easily moving websites to a headless front-end environment. Nacelle brings technical support unmatched in the marketplace and offers a great solution in addition to what the development teams or otherwise out of the box native tools can provide.

  ### 2. Highly Recommend Nacelle as your Headless Choice

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan G. | Ecommerce Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

Communication, Attention to Detail and understanding of our internal needs. The team consistently asks how the platform could be improved and altered especially since moving into V2. We've always felt like we were in good hands.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Since moving into V2, we've noticed some issues that have yet to get resolved. I know that we're one of the first clients to go-live with V2 if not the first so that's understandable, we've just found that some issues continue to be present without a full fix. We'd like to get to the bottom of it and know that the team is already looking into these issues.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

UI/UX, Navigation, Load Times through Nacelle vs. Vercel. They're been open and communicative in seeing what works, what doesn't and how we could improve Nacelle movign forward during this partnership.

  ### 3. We are at the beginning stages with Nacelle and they are already impressing us.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mike S. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

I like communication with Nacelle the best. They are incredibly responsive and always hop on messages right away. Special shoutout to Elizabeth and Lincoln.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Our engagement is at the early stages so there is nothing to note here. Hopefully we'll never have anything to fill here!

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dealing with a Headless tech stack.

  ### 4. Nacelle does the job right!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan Camilo A. | Senior Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

Before launch, we never felt alone and the Nacelle team was really supportive during the entire process. We went into a few bumps and they were always open to explain and provide helpful answers. A very organized tracking process and ticket system and an open slack channel helped us work as a team and provide a good experience.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Most of the issues from the technical perspective should have been easier to solve if we have technical lead support BEFORE the implementation. I think we should have done a tech prep in advance to avoid some issues during the project execution.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our client (StFrank) wanted to create the best customer experience and then have better KPIs and performance. It´s still too early to say they have achieved all of that but based on the current analytics they must be very satisfied with the results they are achieving with Nacelle. The feeling of a much faster site is without question something that was present since the first minute of being live.

  ### 5. Nacelle is an excellent partner that is responsive, organized, and consistently pushing the limits.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Palmer S. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

The Nacelle team has created a process and solution that adds structure to what otherwise can be pretty chaotic. They've documented their product so that it's approachable from different frameworks and development backgrounds. They are organized and proactive about scheduling meetings, reviewing code, and resolving blockers during the development phase. Their team has a lot of experience with headless eCommerce, so we leverage them to solve unique challenges that a modern tech stack can create. We enjoy working with the Nacelle team and feel that their approach to improving frameworks and approaching existing problems aligns well with ours.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

It's expensive, but we believe its worth the cost. As someone who isn't a developer, I feel like I still don't have a great idea of what Nacelle does.

**Recommendations to others considering Nacelle:**

If you want to support a high-end headless eCommerce site with a small development team you need to talk to Nacelle.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're trying to make headless builds more stable in general. Nacelle seems to have made the process of setting up API call to Shopify and the CMS easier for the developers. But I need to get more information to confirm that.

  ### 6. Moved to a Headless Build for the first-time with Nacelle

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Albert C. | VP of Digital, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

Nacelle guided our development team for our first Headless site built with Vue/Nuxt. We considered doing the entire build ourselves but after the migration and launch, we were happy to have expertise and support along the way with a shared Slack channel. The Nacelle product itself as an layer between our platforms (CMS, Shopify, Site) helped to free up development time which enabled us to focus on the most important aspect of the site: the front-end build and design which ultimately impacts customer experience.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Headless is still fairly new to 3rd party vendors and integrations where we've had issues with vendors not understanding our new site and/or was so used to Shopify Themes (1 click integration), that there sometimes needs to be work-arounds when it comes to integrating them into the new site. I suggest engaging all existing 3rd party vendors before migrating to ensure they are aware and educated on the differences between the old site and new headless build so they can provide recommendations.

**Recommendations to others considering Nacelle:**

Talk with all vendors you currently use about moving to Headless before you do it. Understand if their Headless solution is less feature-rich than their native Shopify solution.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were solving page load speed where we have a significant amount of rich media assets to help the user buy color makeup online. In addition, our developer experience wasn't ideal and needed a new modern framework and new CMS to work with.

  ### 7. Unification of data sources and indexing!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

- Geart Abstraction layer to simplify overhead
- Facilitate eventual consistency of data
- Indices from PIM and CMS
- Start kits for small teams

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

- Quickly evolving more visibility into roadmap and features would be a plus.
- Starter kit does not support custom product configuration like stacking, be prepared to handle more complex product configuration with your PWA on your own.
- Nacelle just won't give you better site speed scores( Basic starter kit is very performant!). You need to focus on a clean application and reduce your 3rd party dependencies where you can.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

-Simplify the building process, starter kit and tools for your PWA.
- Facilitate eventual consistency of data

  ### 8. “Nothing will work unless you do.”

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan H. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

From day 0, the Nacelle team has been there for our agency and clients. Having been in e-commerce for the better part of my professional career, it's not often you interface with partners that sell the dream and service it as well -- often times it's about mitigating the nightmare post-contract signatures. "Headless" as a concept is new, and thus frightening for the majority of our clients. Nacelle has not only made this transition easy, but they've explained every step in major detail, so all stakeholders are not only aware but actively learning towards creating a better, more robust platform that is truly focused on supercharging their growth. Is the money well spent? I'd unequivocally say YES. Without going into detail, the money we spent was made upon launch day with CTR expanding such that the cost was already paid for within hours.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Nothing. Time is my only issue -- but that's more or less the way the cookie crumbles. FAST and CHEAP don't mix, so stop trying.

**Recommendations to others considering Nacelle:**

Book a meeting and feel it out. I wasn't asked to make a commitment or sign anything until pretty far into the sales cycle. I was confident in their ability to address any and all concerns prior to making it official.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A robust tech-stack, proper content delivery, site speed, and conversion rate.

  ### 9. A great partner

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark S. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

We love leveraging their innovative technology which allows us to rapidly development high-performant PWAs/headless storefronts for our customers. And most importantly we appreciate the great support from the entire organization.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

There is nothing "least helpful" about Nacelle (which was the prompt :)). We love working with the tech and the team.

**Recommendations to others considering Nacelle:**

Play around with a sandbox environment if possible. Take it for a test drive!

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Enablement of rapid and stable headless development on top of existing Shopify/Shopify Plus accounts. Allows us to future-proof our clients' stores and improve page to page load time.

  ### 10. Nacelle is in fast growing path, adapting and providing solution for merchants in a dynamic context

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

-has an excellent response time on support tickets with their partners.
-You can count on Nacelle to support and guide you throughout the project.
-They have a perfect understanding of the complexities and peculiarities of projects; your project is not just any project.
-They have a solution for a real pain point for customers that want to escalate their shops to the next level.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

It is typical of any growth process to have all kinds of improvements in the development stage. Still, it is also true that the lack of availability of these features can lead the partner to create custom solutions that the client must then maintain outside the framework of Nacelle.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

-We are going headless and boosting the performance of our customers.
-We are being able to display the shop in a radically different way providing added value to increase sales.

  ### 11. The best money a Shopify merchant can spend to scale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

The tech and the team are absolutely amazing. I've been in eCommerce for over 20 Years. This is the fourth time that I have interfaced with a team that is this solid. The quickstart guides will get you setup with a 'working' store in under a week. Not to mention, I don't have to manage a team of 5 engineers to maintain my ETL layers. BEST MONEY YOU CAN SPEND, if you're looking to scale outside of the liquid ecosystem.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

Nothing... Nacelle is an amazing partner.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Site speed and usability were the top two issues we were looking to solve.  The setup is fast; the data comes across flawlessly. Our first deployment with the initial integrations painted a picture of the potential of going headless. r/wallstreetbets would say we got diamond hands and we're going to the moon. 💎✋🏼🌕🚀

  ### 12. Very easy to work with, seamless integration with all-day support.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Nacelle?**

Nacelle provided daily support via slack and was available for engineering implementation questions when we needed them. Easy to work with, very attentive and quick to problem solve. We'd recommend Nacelle for anyone looking to shift to headless commerce.

**What do you dislike about Nacelle?**

They seem to be building processes now, which we were a part of because we were an early client. It would have been nice to have learned from someone like us for our implementation, but all in all they did a fantastic job and we were happy to have worked with them.

**What problems is Nacelle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were looking to make our site editable with no code for faster experimentation and improve site speed. We are off to a good start on both ends.

  ### 13. Great Solution for Ecommerce

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

They are a helpful team and created an easy implementation.
