Our Solution

This is a fun project but required careful planning. We had to be careful to implement features so that the aesthetics are not ruined. And we also had to take care of any existing functionality so that they are not disturbed.

Here’s how we solved the problem:

Controls on Admin

We prepared settings in such a way so that client can easily switch between new style and the old style. It helped keep the old product pages intact and the new changes remain on its own separate place, as client wanted.

Custom Templating

We had to implement a templating system for our unique requirements. We tried to keep it as separate from WC templates as much as possible. Ultimately this has let us make our changes as freely as possible, without disturbing the existing styles and templates. We had to implement a custom product slider and many other minor things, which we could then do easily. At the end, we were able to pack everything inside the child theme.

Designed with UX Builder in mind

The main content was made with UX Builder. So we had to work around it to implement various features. Documentation for UX Builder was scarce. And to make it even worse, proper hooks were absent as well. We had to find other routes to make it work.
