Suffering from theme fatigue? If your Shopify Plus site hasn’t been refreshed or regularly optimized, it’s likely showing its age. A dated theme can drag down your customer experience, create friction for your internal team, and hold your ecommerce growth back.
TOP FOUR SIGNS OF THEME FATIGUE
STILL ON SHOPIFY 1.0 THEME
The biggest red flag: you’re not on Shopify 2.0. Released in 2021, Shopify 2.0 enables “sections everywhere”—a major upgrade that gives your team far more CMS flexibility and control.
APP BLOAT
You’d like to clean up your app stack to improve site speed and performance, but fear removing old or outdated apps due to unclear dependencies or unexpected side effects.
INCONSISTENT CODEBASE
Over time, multiple developers—whether internal, agency, or freelance—can leave behind a patchwork of inconsistent, messy code that becomes hard to maintain or build on.
CONFINED CMS & UX
If your theme feels restrictive from a content management standpoint—or your UX is falling behind competitors—it’s time to consider a retheme.
LEVERAGING YOUR CURRENT THEME
The good news? Retheming is simpler than you think. Unlike a full platform migration, a retheme project lets you build on what’s working while modernizing everything else. It’s a faster, lower-risk way to unlock big gains on Shopify Plus. Benefits of a retheme include:
Leveraging the latest Shopify Plus updates & features
Modernizing design & optimizing the user experience
Enabling AOV drivers & CRO best practices
Improving site speed, code health & accessibility compliance
Future-proofing against soon-to-be sunsetted features or app dependencies
Using clean, consistent code & a more streamlined app stack
