Helping Shopify merchants navigate the Shopify ecosystem for winning outcomes
Hey there đź‘‹
Last week we have updated out pricing. We've created three subscription plans: Lite, Plus, and Enterprise. Our subscription plans have a limited number of spots each month. This allows us to focus our internal experts on a select group of new customers, ensuring high quality work and effective communication.
Another exciting announcement is our partnership with Uptime and Shoplift on our Enterprise plans. We use Uptime app for Automated Store Tests, and Shoplift app for Continuous A/B Testing.
If you’re looking to tackle Shopify projects and need a good partner that won’t drag their feet, hop on to one of our plans. We open limited spots to new customers every month. This month we have 7 spots on Lite plan, 2 spots on Plus plan, and just 1 spot on Enterprise plan.
Take a look at our newly updated pricing here! Or feel free to book a quick discovery call.

Thank you and see you next week,

đź“– What we are reading this week
Why use GitHub and Shopify Integration? The main benefit of integration is that it can help save backups/versions of themes in case something is deleted on the main Shopify admin. It’s also possible to remove some earlier changes easily if needed. Check out our new blog if you want to dive into this and get a step-by-step guide.
How to use productivity 'Sprints' when your attention span is low? When you have a lot of work to do, a short attention span can be disastrous to your productivity. So instead of fighting it, read in this article how you can use it to your advantage by working in “sprints” rather than trying for a marathon session.
đź› Theme version updates
Prestige by Maestrooo – Version 8.0.0 – October 5, 2023
Prestige now has support for color schemes. Shopify has recently added color schemes to the theme editor, providing merchants more clarity and customization options for their store. Merchants can now choose from both theme-defined and merchant-defined color schemes, with a visual preview that makes it easy to update colors. Furthermore, merchants can now implement changes at the global, section, or block level, allowing them to have different colors per section as well as adding background gradients instead of solid backgrounds.
On mobile, the zoom icon has been changed to a magnifying glass, instead of a "plus" icon. This has been done to avoid merchants confusing it with an "add to cart" button.

🌟 Customer spotlight
We want to share some awesome Shopify businesses on a weekly basis that are also our customers. Today, let's talk about WP Standard. They make top-notch leather bags that are built to last. With over 10 years of experience, Ryan and his team at WP Standard guarantee their products for life.
HeyCarson helped Ryan improve their Custom Corporate Gifts landing page by strategically arranging the content. We highlighted their bestseller products and past projects, making the page more visually appealing. Plus, we added an interactive form to make it super easy for potential customers to create their own beautiful handmade bags. We've got an article about this journey if you wanna check out what's happening behind the scenes.
đź’ˇ Optimization tip of the week
Navigation Tip:
Main navigation doesn't include unnecessary links (e.g. privacy policy, return policy, and terms and conditions)
Store uses sticky navigation, so the categories, first page, search and cart widget are easily accessible all the time
Navigation items are ordered in the most logical or task-oriented manner (with the less important corporate information at the bottom)
↗️ Drop us a message here if you'd like it implemented for your store.

These 19 rusty freight containers stacked on top of each is not that rusty, in fact it’s a unique store a bag brand Freitag.
Freitag is known for its unique and colorful bags made from recycled truck tarpaulins. Their tower near Zurich's HardbrĂĽcke bridge showcases over 1,800 one-of-a-kind products, including bags, smartphone cases, and wallets. The tower itself made from used materials.
