The surprising truth about Shopify redesigns (...and when to switch themes for maximum growth)

Should you stay on your current theme or switch to a new one when redesigning your Shopify store? (...the answer might surprise you)

Many of my clients ask this question.

Here's the truth:

It depends on your current theme's age and limitations.

Older Shopify themes restrict your ability to use custom sections effectively.

This can seriously hinder your store's growth potential.

Here's why switching to a newer theme during redesign is often the smart move:

1️⃣ Better scalability — New themes offer more flexibility for future growth
2️⃣ Enhanced customisation — Access to more custom sections for unique designs
3️⃣ Improved performance — Newer themes are optimised for speed and mobile
4️⃣ Future-proofing — Stay current with Shopify's latest features and updates

But there are considerations:

❗ Migration time
❗ Potential complexities (e.g., moving metafield data)

That's why I work closely with clients to weigh up the pros and cons.

We ensure the decision aligns with your long-term business goals.

Remember: A little extra effort now can save you major headaches down the road.
