How it works

Built on a modern stack

A focused, composable stack — React and Next.js on the front end, Laravel and Node on the back end, React Native for mobile, Sanity for content, and headless commerce with Shopify and Medusa.

Practical writing on headless architecture, performance and search — from the team that builds it.

Umbraco is already headless — you probably don't need Heartcore

The free, MIT-licensed CMS ships headless APIs and webhooks. Most teams shopping for a headless Umbraco product are about to buy something they already have.

Umbraco vs Sanity and Next.js: what each really costs over three years

Umbraco's licence is free. Sanity's free plan is free. Neither fact tells you what either platform costs. We priced both properly — every tier, add-on licence, metered overage and the developer time on top — across three real project shapes.

Why choose Umbraco: the case for a .NET CMS in 2026

Headless gets the attention, but Umbraco still wins a specific and sizeable set of projects outright — on licence cost, on what editors can do without a developer, and on the one requirement no headless vendor can satisfy at any price.

FAQ

What does a typical engagement with Karve Digital look like?
Most projects start with a short discovery sprint — auditing your current platform, content and analytics — followed by UX design, build and launch phases. For many clients we then move into an ongoing support and optimisation retainer.
Why do you build with a headless CMS like Sanity?
Headless architecture separates your content from any single front end. Your team edits structured content once, and it powers the website, campaign pages, apps and whatever comes next — with faster page loads and stronger SEO than monolithic platforms.
Do you work with ecommerce platforms?
Yes — we design and build headless commerce on Shopify (including Hydrogen storefronts) and Commercetools, often paired with Sanity for content-rich shopping experiences like Siella Beauty and Geely UAE.
Do you build mobile apps as well as websites?
Yes — we build iOS and Android apps with React Native and Expo, usually sharing a backend and design system with your web platform so features ship everywhere at once.
Can you build our SaaS product or startup MVP?
That's core work for us. We take SaaS products from validated idea to production — UX, Laravel or Next.js engineering, auth, billing and multi-tenancy included — and stay on as your product team afterwards.
I built a prototype with AI (vibe coding) — can you help me launch it?
Yes. We audit what you've built, harden the security and infrastructure, and take it to production — without throwing away the work you've done. See our Ship It service for how it works.
How do you approach SEO on a new build?
SEO is built in from the first wireframe: semantic HTML, structured data (JSON-LD), performance budgets against Core Web Vitals, and an information architecture mapped to real search intent — then validated with audits after launch.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
We're based in Dubai Silicon Oasis, UAE, and work with clients across the GCC, Europe and beyond — including Emirates, AGMC, Mubadala and Lollapalooza.
