What does a Shopify rebuild actually look like day to day?
Not just the final result. The real process behind every custom Liquid build 👇
01 Discovery call + scope lock Multiple revision rounds on the Figma before a single line of code gets written. Scope creep starts here if you let it.
02 Theme decision — custom vs. base Sometimes Dawn works. Sometimes the design is too complex. Knowing when to go full custom Liquid is the real skill.
03 Build sprint + async reviews Weekly Loom updates to the client. No surprise reveals. Continuous feedback keeps revisions tight and the launch on schedule.
04 QA across devices + browsers Mobile, tablet, desktop. Safari edge cases. The unglamorous work that separates a good build from a great one.
05 Go live ✅ Pixel-perfect match to Figma. A store that finally matches the brand vision and is built to convert.
The "just wrapped up" posts make it look easy. It never is.
