Development Tips to Build Better Custom Shopify Websites

By Alinga

Building Shopify website is always a challenging task but not if there is a perfect rhythm followed by the Shopify developers Brisbane. Shopify has nowadays become the default preference for developing an online store as it has evolved its themes and tried the best to cover as many business types as possible.

When in the beginning, working with Shopify may seem easy and exciting, but it can be greatly discouraging if the theme selection is not made properly. For a perfect Shopify development, one must have a solid development rhythm in order to determine how the site can work. Here, in this article you will find some development tips that can help you build better custom Shopify website.

  • Having the Version Control Can Help You Manage Work

    For storing and controlling the source code, generally, multiple themes are being used by the developers. But, storing them in the remote version repository can be a better option as the code can remain organized, prevented and will offer a complete history with a record of all the changes made so that later on if something goes wrong, they can be taken back to the stable theme version. Thus, having the control over the version can help you manage the work according to the requirement.

 

  • Shopify Theme Gem Should be Focused for Local Websites

    Though Shopify is a cloud based platform, one can not work on a local software and get results locally. Instead, you can upload theme files and have a direct view on the changes that are made on an online Shopify store. Use a Shopify theme gem with the help of which your directory can be easily tracked and also let you upload the files automatically. Hence, using the Shopify theme gem is an easy option.

 

  • Let Grunt do You SASS and JS Compiling

    When having a large project, it is important as well as challenging to structure the CSS and JavaScript. With Shopify, you can use SASS to compile all the CSS and JavaScript structure. All you need to do is let the Grunt task for Sass and JavaScript compiling which will in turn bring the same into the file of the assets directory. Using Grunt will make your work easy and result into elegant outcomes.

 

  • Abstract Whenever Possible

    Shopify themes are built on a simple rule that says theme should be built up with as less coding as possible. Also, when a theme is built up, the theme must not store data and should be abstracted whenever required. Use relatable content and keep the working of the website simple as the client would be your primary user.

 

  • Make Use of Rich Snippets

    Using snippets is one of the great ways to break up logic into separate files. These are easier to understand than markups. Snippets are the tools with the help of which you can organize your content and make the markup easy to follow.
