It was a dark and stormy night. You are just about to try a new app or add a customization to your Shopify theme. It seems simple enough, but one click later and your entire store is broken. While no one wants to be trapped in this scary story, it's bound to happen — but here are some strategies to use.
Last week, we discussed the key differences between common Shopify and theme-related terms that often cause confusion for store owners — however, one important distinction that wasn’t addressed in the earlier post was “theme issues” versus “theme customization."
Getting your Shopify theme just the way you want it can often be done using your own time and skills, but there comes a point for most storeowners when they need the helping hand of a pro. Fortunately, Shopify has built a solid community of developers, designers and other service providers who can help out with your store.
Quality Shopify theme developers offer ongoing theme updates that not only add new features but also correct bugs or make adjustments for changes in Web technology, which is a great way to ensure your store stays fresh and up to date.
Shopify themes from Out of the Sandbox already come packed with tons of great features that are easy to configure using the built-in configuration panel — but there comes a time in many online store’s lives when a more advanced customization is needed.
