# We customize Shopify themes to do exactly what you need.

**You like your theme. You just need it to do three more things.**

Most store owners don’t need a new theme. They need the announcement bar to rotate, the product page to show delivery dates, or the home page to stop looking like the demo. We make those changes properly, so the next theme update doesn’t wipe them out.

- New sections in your theme
- Layout and style changes
- Update-safe edits
- Small jobs welcome

## How we customize it

1. **Review your theme and its code** — We check which theme and version you run, what has already been edited, and which apps inject code, so new work doesn’t collide with old changes.
2. **Work on a duplicate theme** — Every change is made on a copy of your live theme, so customers never see half-finished work and you can preview everything first.
3. **Build changes as sections and settings** — We add new blocks, sections and options in Liquid, CSS and JavaScript the Shopify way, keeping edits separate so theme updates don’t wipe them out.
4. **Test, publish and note what changed** — We test on phones and desktop, publish when you approve, and leave a short note of every file and setting we touched.

## What you have at the end

- **The theme you like, doing more** The changes you asked for work inside your existing design, without switching themes or rebuilding the store.
- **Edits you control** New features appear as sections and settings in the theme editor, so your team can move, hide or change them without code.
- **Changes that survive updates** Custom work is kept apart from the theme’s core files, so the next theme update doesn’t quietly undo it.
- **A record of what was done** You get a plain list of what changed and where, so any developer after us knows exactly what they are looking at.

## What is Shopify theme customization in Benin?

Shopify theme customization means changing your existing theme beyond what its settings allow: new sections, different layouts, extra product details and style changes. EliteTeQ makes these edits in clean, update-safe code for stores in Benin, and every change shows up in the theme editor for your team.

- New sections you can move and edit
- Product, cart and collection layout changes
- Fonts, colours and spacing beyond the settings
- Edits that survive theme updates

## The theme is almost right, and that’s the frustrating part

- **The setting you need doesn’t exist** Themes give you colour pickers and toggles, then stop. The moment you want something slightly different, the editor has no option for it.
- **Someone edited the code directly** Quick fixes pasted into theme files tend to break on the next update, or quietly break something else. We move them into proper sections and snippets.
- **An app for every small change** A countdown timer, a size chart, a trust badge: each one a separate app with its own fee. Many of these are a few lines inside your theme.
- **It looks off on some phones** Text overlapping images, buttons pushed off screen, a menu that won’t close. We fix layout problems across the screen sizes your customers actually use.

## The kind of changes we make every week

### Sections your team can drag into place

Every change is built as a section or block, so you can add it to a page, reorder it or switch it off from the theme editor.

- Delivery estimate under the price
- Size guide in a slide-out drawer
- Bundle offer block on product pages

### Fewer apps, lighter pages

Where an app only adds a small visual element, we build that element into the theme and you cancel the subscription.

- Announcement bars and timers
- Trust badges and icons
- Size charts and product tabs

## What you get

- **Custom sections and blocks** — Added to your theme and available in the theme editor.
- **Layout and style changes** — Product, collection, cart and home page changes beyond the settings.
- **Leftover code removed** — Old app scripts and pasted fixes tidied out of your theme.
- **Work on a theme copy** — Your live theme stays untouched until you approve.
- **Change log** — A short note of every file changed and why.
- **Fixes after publishing** — If anything looks wrong after launch, we fix it.

## Questions clients ask us

**Will my changes survive a theme update?**

We build changes as separate sections and snippets and keep a change log, so when you update the theme they can be carried across quickly instead of rebuilt.

**Do you take small jobs?**

Yes. Many customization jobs are a handful of changes. We group them into one quote so you are not paying separately for each small fix.

**Can you work on a paid theme I bought?**

Yes. We work on free and paid Shopify themes, and we stay within the theme’s licence by editing only your store’s copy of it.

**Will customers see anything while you work?**

No. We edit a duplicate of your theme and share preview links. Your live store only changes when you approve and we publish.

**Should I customize my theme or switch to a new one?**

If you like your theme and need a few changes, customize it. If the list keeps growing and the theme fights you on everything, we will tell you honestly that a redesign costs less in the long run.
