Frequently asked questions
Should I use a custom Shopify theme or a premium theme?
A premium theme is fine for a fast launch, but it carries code you do not use, which hurts performance and flexibility. A custom theme ships only what your store needs, loads faster, and is easier to extend. For merchants who care about speed and conversion, a custom theme pays off.
Can you rebuild my slow Shopify theme?
Yes. I rebuild or refactor slow, bloated themes into clean, modular Liquid with the unused scripts and apps removed, typically taking Core Web Vitals back into the green without changing how the store looks to customers.
Do you use Online Store 2.0 sections?
Yes. I build with Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks so your team can rearrange and edit pages in the theme editor, with metafields and metaobjects for structured content, instead of hard-coding everything.
