Overview

TerraBoard was rebuilding its Shopify website using approved Figma designs while continuing to leverage the existing Shopify ecosystem and PageFly workflow. The goal was to create a modern, responsive website without introducing unnecessary complexity or increasing long-term maintenance costs.

Before development began, I collaborated with the design team to align the proposed designs with the capabilities of the existing Shopify theme and PageFly setup. This ensured the designs could be implemented efficiently while taking advantage of the platform's existing functionality.

The final solution included responsive page builds, reusable product templates, improved collection organization, and a cleaner Shopify structure that simplified ongoing website management while preserving flexibility for future growth.

The Challenge

Existing Website Structure

The website required a complete rebuild while preserving existing functionality and minimizing disruption to the client's Shopify environment.

Design & Platform Alignment

The approved designs needed to work within the capabilities of the existing Shopify theme and PageFly without creating unnecessary custom development.

Reusable Product System

The client sold multiple products with varying configurations, requiring flexible templates that could support the entire catalog without creating duplicate page layouts.

Live Website Migration

Website needed to remain easy for the client to update while avoiding unnecessary costs associated with additional PageFly pages or overly customized theme code.

My Approach

Discovery

Reviewed the approved Figma designs alongside the existing Shopify implementation to identify opportunities for improving scalability, reducing maintenance, and making better use of the existing platform.

Design Strategy

Collaborated with the design team before development to align proposed layouts with the capabilities of Shopify and PageFly, ensuring the approved designs remained visually consistent while being efficient to implement and maintain.

Build & Refine

Developed the new website using reusable templates, responsive layouts, and organized Shopify structures while ensuring all links, navigation, products, and pages were thoroughly tested before launch.
