If you’re offering more custom Shopify experiences for the first time - chances are you have already had a project where you start designing (or you get alllll the way into development) and all of a sudden.
​
The scope gets
—————-T H IIIIII S B IIIII GGG ————–
out of nowhere.
​
Even though: You were so clear about the # of pages you’d mock up in the proposal, right? The client gave you some site examples that you assumed would be close to the end result, right?
​
But then, suddenly the client goes:
​“Oh, I had this idea…”
“I thought this was just obvious that it would do __”
“I said ___ was important to me, how was that a miscommunication?
“We NEED __ or we can’t launch”
“Oh we missed this, it’s easy enough to just put it in, right?”
The list goes on and on.

You get to the end of the project and realize you made about $0.50 an hour accommodating all these requests because, well whoops must have been my bad right?
​
How about NO.
​
Discovery workshops or a second inquiry call can help fix this.
​
The simple fix for this, is having your merchant be open to giving you more details out of the gate and being comfortable with the “unknowns” coming down the road being EXTRA scope to be quoted separately.

Scoping is one of the most import topics we cover inside the codex through every life stage of a project.

When I first started developing on Shopify I was both excited by how easy it was to maintain templates, and create stores for entrepreneurs. There's truly no other product on the market that is beautiful and functional, while being extendable to any unique business model. Shopify is made with merchants in mind, to make it easy to run a business selling products.
​
But - it isn't made with developers or designers in mind like Squarespace. Actually... if i'm being honest it's kind of a nightmare to develop for Shopify if you don't know what you're doing.
​
I remember developing my first custom designed store back in 2016. Product pages were rigid. Home pages were cookie-cutter. Adding anything as simple as a popup was (and still is) a development nightmare to get the store owner to maintain. The only solution was apps on top of apps on top of apps.

In fact that’s a problem I see commonly - relying on apps to DO EVERYTHING for even a simple semi custom fix.
​
A lot of designers and developers out there are making stores that had to be dismantled entirely with a wrecking ball anytime the business needs even the most simple update.
