Is creating a custom theme for a store migration advisable?

Hello!

My client has an existing squarespace site and would like me to migrate their store to shopify… They would like the existing store to be replicated, basically pixel perfect copy. Should I create a custom theme or use an existing theme and just modify it extensively?

Thank you!

Hi @AndrewStender

You can use Dawn theme & customize it based on the existing store. Let me know if you need any help.

I have selected the Dawn theme and have been attempting to customize it to match the original site I need to migrate…

I’m having trouble re-creating this 4-block of images:

I tried using the “Multicolumn” and the “Collage” sections but I’m having difficulty… thank you in advance!

We need to customize the coding to make it look similar to your current theme

Thank you, how should I customize the coding?

You should know liquid code to customize it or you should hire a developer

Thank you!

What is the best resource to learn liquid code? I am an experienced .NET developer and would like to learn.
