Roadmap

In Progress

In 2021, we'll continue to focus on launching new Venia features and optimizing the existing Venia reference storefront to create compelling shopper experiences. The new feature development will most importantly focus on desktop experience (where Venia has previously prioritized a mobile-first approach). We'll continue the role out of the newly delivered extensibility framework, including additional documentation and tutorials. We'll also revisit previous Studio areas to ensure we are delivering the tools and frameworks necessary for best-in-class storefront management and operations.
