Sections & reusable blocks
Define where a component can appear and which text, images and blocks the merchant can change.
What we check
Check adding, reordering and removing permitted content in the theme editor.
Shopify Theme Development
A Shopify theme shaped around your brand.
Create reusable storefront sections and purposeful templates without adding complexity your team cannot maintain.
Prices cover the listed scope. Additional work and external costs are quoted separately.
Designed for the merchant
Custom sections. Everyday control.
A useful theme gives your team the right editing controls while keeping the shopping experience consistent. We agree what should be editable before writing the section.
Product-specific content
Connect appropriate metafields for details such as size guides, care instructions or specifications.
What we check
Switch products and confirm the correct content appears, including empty states.
App content that fits
Allow app blocks where the theme supports them and the customer journey needs them.
What we check
Check the real app content at mobile widths instead of assuming every embed fits.
Make the next theme update easier to review.
Shopify can carry compatible code edits into an update, but conflicting changes may need manual work. We keep a change record and test the updated draft before publication.

What we’ll deliver.
Adapt an approved Shopify theme with four custom reusable sections and two template changes.
- An off-the-shelf layout cannot support your merchandising.
- Every small update needs another custom workaround.

Specify the custom sections
Define four sections with content fields, block limits and placement rules.
How we check it
Approve the merchant controls and sample content before development.
Adapt two templates
Integrate the agreed sections into the buying journey and existing theme structure.
How we check it
Confirm the templates support the approved content and required theme behaviour.
Review design and editor behaviour
Use two design rounds and check mobile layouts, defaults and missing-content states.
How we check it
The merchant can make the intended changes through the theme editor.
Document the theme handover
Record changed files, editing guidance and future update considerations.
How we check it
Demonstrate the agreed merchant tasks and identify any separately maintained app settings.

Before you decide
Questions worth asking.
Do I need a custom theme or changes to a purchased theme?
The published starting price is for adapting an existing theme: four custom sections and two templates within an agreed scope. A theme built from scratch needs discovery and its own quote. Prefer adaptation when the existing foundation supports the buying journey; investigate a custom build when verified requirements cannot be met reasonably through that approach.
Will sections be editable in the theme editor?
Define the settings, blocks and content limits for each custom section. Acceptance should include the merchant changing the intended text, imagery and layout controls without editing code.
What happens when the theme is updated?
Shopify can include compatible code edits in a theme update; conflicting edits may need to be reapplied. Keep a change record, review the updated draft and test the required store behaviour before publishing. Ongoing update support is agreed separately.
What is the starting budget and what is separate?
$2,000 – $4,000 / theme adaptation. Custom theme discovery from $750; full custom build by quote These are published USD prices. The written quote must state the complete cost, payment schedule and applicable taxes.
When can the work begin and what do you need from me?
3–5 weeks for adaptation. To scope the work, prepare: Current theme; required sections; approved design. The schedule starts after the required access, inputs and approvals are ready.
How are revisions, extra work and support agreed?
Use the listed deliverables and exclusions as the starting point. The quote must state acceptance checks, review rounds, payment stages, cancellation arrangements and any ongoing support. Requested additions need an agreed cost and schedule before implementation.
