The request
“We bought the theme to start a long overdue revamp of the site. As we started testing and adapting it, the dropdown menu isn't doing what we need. Can you update it to work with how our products are organized?”
The theme's dropdown was built for a different kind of catalog. The brand needed it restructured to show their product families first, then shades and formats beneath.
The approach
We restructured the dropdown to follow the brand's catalog hierarchy and adjusted the visual layout so it didn't feel cramped with the extra levels. The menu is driven by Shopify's navigation editor, so the brand can add or reorder items without a developer.
We also cleaned up the mobile version of the same menu so it collapsed sensibly.
