Stride: ship headless digital experiences at speed
Stride is Aceik’s internal Next.js accelerator — a proven foundation of components, patterns, and tooling that gets enterprise-grade, headless builds into production faster, without cutting corners on accessibility or performance.
Component library, not a template
A maintained set of accessible, production-tested UI components and patterns — so teams start from a proven baseline instead of a blank repo.
Headless by default
Built to sit in front of any content or commerce backend, so front-end delivery is never blocked waiting on the CMS team.
Accessibility built in
WCAG 2.1 AA patterns, keyboard support, and reduced-motion handling come from the accelerator itself, not bolted on per project.
Fast to extend
Conventions for routing, data-fetching, and theming are documented and consistent, so new features ship without re-litigating architecture.
Design tokens
A single source of truth for color, type, spacing, and motion — themeable per project without forking the accelerator.
Component library
Accessible, production-tested UI primitives and patterns teams compose from instead of rebuilding per project.
Data fetching
Conventions for talking to any headless CMS or commerce API, with caching and revalidation decided up front.
Testing harness
Unit, integration, and accessibility checks wired in from the start, not bolted on before launch.
CI/CD pipeline
Preview deployments, linting, and type-checking on every pull request — the pipeline ships with the accelerator.
Analytics-ready
Event tracking hooks and consent handling built in, so measurement isn't an afterthought bolted on post-launch.
Preview environments
Every pull request gets its own deployed preview, so stakeholders review real running builds, not screenshots.
Living documentation
Component usage, conventions, and decisions are documented alongside the code they describe, not in a wiki that drifts.
Headless accelerator
Stride separates the front-end experience from the systems behind it, so the same accelerator can power very different projects without starting over each time.
- 01
Start from a proven core
Routing, theming, data-fetching, and component conventions arrive pre-decided, reviewed, and battle-tested on live client projects.
- 02
Connect any backend
Stride is decoupled from any single CMS or commerce platform — swap the backend without rewriting the front end.
- 03
Ship, then keep extending
New sections and features build on the same accessible, performant foundation, long after initial launch.
