La Haute Couture
Intro
Problem
La Haute’s storefront was built on Prestige, one of Shopify’s most established premium themes. After several years of running on an older version, the store had reached a point where upgrading was necessary to take advantage of the latest theme features and improvements.
The challenge wasn’t simply switching themes. The existing storefront had accumulated customizations that needed to be carefully carried over, while the team also wanted to introduce several new features that weren’t available natively in the theme, including a custom variant selector, free shipping progress bar, automatic free gifts, and shipping protection.
Approach
I carefully audited the existing theme to identify the customizations, content and functionality that needed to be preserved during the migration. From there, I rebuilt and adapted those pieces for the latest version of Prestige, making sure the transition didn’t compromise the existing shopping experience.
Once the migration was in place, I developed the additional ecommerce features directly into the theme, with flexibility in mind. Each feature was built to be configurable through the Shopify theme editor, allowing the La Haute team to manage and adjust the experience themselves without needing developer support for everyday changes.
