Replace the theme on a live, trading store → two phase switch with no downtime.

The store needed a complete theme replacement without going offline or losing orders while trading continued.

Client

An equestrian retailer

What I built

A staged switch delivered in two phases on a duplicate theme, so the client could stop after phase one if the first half did not earn its keep.

Result

The new theme went live in two phases while the store kept trading, with no downtime.

Shopify surface

Theme migration, custom sections, launch QA

Relevant if

Your store has outgrown its theme, but it cannot go offline while the new one is built.
