It was a pleasure working with the McSharry Pharmacy group on upgrading their Shopify store.
Their 1.0 custom theme had become outdated to the point where much of its code was no longer supported. This meant that when something went wrong, it often triggered other issues, making any fix complex and costly.
When they approached me, it was more about fire-fighting—or, rather, fire-proofing.
The primary goal was to ensure that an updated theme would help prevent future breakdowns.
I recommended upgrading their theme to Shopify 2.0 from the theme store. This way, should any problems arise, getting support from the theme’s developer, or an affiliated developer, would be much more straightforward.
What they didn’t anticipate was the sleek new look and feel the updated theme would bring to their online store. The additional filtering options, nested navigation, and user-friendly design made a noticeable impact. We also utilized sections everywhere, adding store locations and opening times for each branch. With metafields and product templates, we built out brand-specific layouts to keep the content relevant and tailored.
It was a lot of fun pulling all this together, and the McSharry team was a dream to work with.
Now, the McSharry team is ready for the busy Black Friday period—and beyond.
