A Shopify theme gives a store its starting point, but customization helps make the experience fit the brand.

For this concept, I focused on how small design decisions can work together to create a more cohesive storefront.

→ Brand aligned colors and typography → A clear homepage structure → Consistent product cards → Refined buttons and section layouts → Better visual hierarchy → A responsive mobile experience

The goal isn't to change everything just for the sake of being different.

It's to make thoughtful adjustments that help the store feel consistent, professional, and easy to navigate.

Good theme customization brings the brand and the shopping experience together.

What would you customize first when adapting a Shopify theme for a new brand?

I'd start with the typography and colors. They set the tone for the entire storefront.

Hourfield is a 16-second 16:9 launch film for products that organise people's time: calendars, schedulers, booking and reservation apps, planners. Retype a few short lines, drop in your logo and rename the calendar's days and tiles (meetings, table bookings, classes, shifts): the week re-plans itself on screen and the film lands on your logo lockup. Our second version, Maréva, a fictional table-booking app, turns the working week into an evening of reservations on the same animation and timing.

Built end-to-end through the SVGator MCP server. The calendar that re-plans its own week, the orbit that swirls into a single dot and the lines centred by their real letter shapes (fonts measured, not eyeballed) were computed in Python and written straight into a live SVGator project as 780 editable keyframes; I directed every note and finished it in the canvas. Maréva was made the same way, on the same timeline. Everything stays a real layer: 50 live text layers, named elements (headline, logo, product-name, tagline) and one logo image animated in two moments.

Yes, there is a lot to edit: every line of the story, a whole week of calendar tiles, a palette in nine roles. A full rebrand takes longer than five minutes, and that is the honest trade: it shows how much a single SVGator file can carry, and how MCP makes a detailed, story-driven film practical to re-make, not just to watch.

Love the smooth flow and the text animation! Good luck!
