First time setting up a shopify store. Using Dawn theme.

Everything looks so big on the desktop and mobile. All the photos are set to small and yet everything looks huge.

I’ve looked everywhere for a solution. Seems like maybe the theme code might need to be edited, but that is way beyond my current skill set.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! This sounds really frustrating, sorry you’re dealing with this. Do you mind sharing a link to your website so I can take a look at the code?
