Three routes for three different needs

Not every brand needs a custom theme. In the audit we look at your current theme and goals and recommend the right route.

Pages you can edit without code

With Online Store 2.0, every page is made of sections and blocks. Each section we build comes with its own settings in the theme editor, so your team can change campaign pages, product description blocks and the homepage layout on their own.

  • Drag-and-drop sections on every template
  • Dynamic content with metafields and metaobjects
  • Separate mobile settings where they matter
  • Plain-language help text in the theme editor

Example: an editable section schema

Each section defines the settings that appear in the theme editor in its own schema. In this example the heading, collection and number of products can be set, and feature highlights can be added as blocks.

{% schema %}{  "name": "Featured collection",  "settings": [    { "type": "text", "id": "heading", "label": "Heading" },    { "type": "collection", "id": "collection", "label": "Collection" },    { "type": "range", "id": "count", "label": "Number of products",      "min": 2, "max": 12, "step": 1, "default": 4 }  ],  "blocks": [    { "type": "feature", "name": "Feature",      "settings": [{ "type": "text", "id": "text", "label": "Text" }] }  ],  "presets": [{ "name": "Featured collection" }]}{% endschema %}

What changes with a new theme

Before

Old or heavy theme

  • Every change needs a developer
  • Extra code loaded by dozens of apps
  • Images that shift and load late on mobile
  • Days to launch a campaign page

After

OS 2.0 theme

  • Your team builds pages in the theme editor
  • Built-in sections instead of apps
  • Core Web Vitals targeted from the start
  • New campaign pages from a template in minutes

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Get in touch directly.

Can you make changes without replacing my current theme?

Yes. We customise a copy of your current theme, so your live store isn't affected.

Who handles updates to a custom theme?

The code of a custom theme belongs to you. Updates can be handled by us under a maintenance plan, or by a developer of your choice.

Will I lose my customisations when the ready-made theme is updated?

We build customisations as theme editor settings and separate sections, so updates can be merged in a controlled way.

Will a new theme affect my SEO?

Your URLs stay the same, and the heading structure and structured data are kept or improved. We run an SEO check before launch.

How long does it take?

It depends on the scope. After the audit we give you a step-by-step schedule.
