MEA Custom Suits

Shopify Theme Modernization

100% Merchant Control
85% Faster Loading

The Challenge: The store was built using static Liquid templates, which prevented the merchant from updating layouts through the Shopify Theme Editor. Additionally, they required a custom Size Finder and a flexible Giveaway Form—but no existing app matched their exact workflow.

  • Migrated to OS 2.0 JSON templates
  • Reusable sections with Schema settings
  • Custom Size Finder app for tailoring
  • Dynamic Giveaway Form via Metafields
  • Eliminated all third-party app dependencies
  • Scalable, future-proof architecture

Static HTML → OS 2.0 Custom Theme

100% Custom Code
0 Apps Used
$0 Monthly Fees

The Challenge: Started from a static HTML design that was completely non-dynamic and required manual code changes for any update. The goal was to rebuild it as a Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme using native Liquid, without relying on third-party apps, to demonstrate clean architecture and merchant empowerment.

  • Developed a fully custom OS 2.0 theme from the ground up
  • Migrated static HTML to JSON templates
  • Optimized all images by converting PNG/JPG to WebP for faster load times
  • Eliminated third-party app dependencies—including Monster Cart, and Essential Announcement Bar—by building native Liquid replacements
  • Integrated Metafields and Metaobjects for dynamic, merchant-editable content
  • Empowered full merchant control through the Shopify Theme Editor
Shopify OS 2.0 Liquid Metafields Metaobjects Native JS
  • ✓
    100% Native Architecture — All features built with custom Liquid and metafields, eliminating the need for Monster Cart, Essential Announcement Bar, and other third-party apps.
  • ✓
    $0 Monthly App Expenses — Since no apps are used, the store has zero recurring costs, maximizing profit margins.
  • ✓
    Full Merchant Control — OS 2.0 JSON templates and drag-and-drop sections allow non-technical users to manage content easily.
