Help Organizing Multiple Blogs

Store Design

Topic summary

Topic: Organizing multiple blogs in a Shopify store with category listing and search, preferably without using an app.

Key requests and constraints:

  • Display multiple blogs on a single page with categories and a search option.
  • Avoid additional apps; solution should be theme/code-based.

Proposed approach (by a responder):

  • Implement a custom, code-only solution; requires solid Shopify and front-end skills.
  • Structure as a three-tier system:
    1. A main blog landing page.
    2. Sub-blog listings under the main page (each with its own link).
    3. Individual blog post templates.
  • Distinct designs for the main blog, sub-blogs, and posts.
  • Mock-ups were provided on a demo site to illustrate “Main Blogs,” “Sub Blog,” and “Blog Post.”

Assets central to understanding:

  • Screenshot of desired category-driven blog UI from another site.
  • Three mock-up images showing the proposed structure.

Status/outcome:

  • No app-based solution provided; custom coding deemed necessary.
  • Original poster requested a quote and is open to professional help; implementation details and final decision remain pending.

Can you please recommend the steps, tips or apps to help organize multiple blogs on a shop? I want to be able to list the multiple blogs on a page with categories and a search option.

All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Would like to do this without an additional app.

Hi,

Everything needs to be coded manually without using an app. I need more details. Is there a place where you can show the exact structure you have in mind?

Terence.

Hi Terence, Attached is a web page that show blog categories to choose from. Is this possible? Do I need multiple blogs for this?

Hi Jeanette,

Sorry for the late response. We’ve been very busy with our own Shopify clients lately.

Now, there are two ways to accomplish what you want:

  • You need to know Shopify quite well.
  • You need to have coding skills to create a design similar to or the same as the target website.

I’ve created a mock-up on our demo website. Of course, a lot needs to be done on this. It can be further developed. Essentially, it’s crucial to fully understand the project!

In short, there will be one main blog page, and all other blogs will appear under it. Each blog will also have its own link. Additionally, the design of the main blog, sub-blogs, and blog posts will be different. So, we are looking at a three-tiered structure.

I’m not sure if anyone will do this for free here, but if you want, we can offer professional help at an affordable rate. Of course, we need to understand all the details of your project. I hope I’m not being misunderstood.

I’m fairly well versed with coding and doing some custom work, not an expert, but will consider your offer and recommendation if you want to send me a quote please. Appreciate your help!
