What are the limitations of Shopify Online Store 1.0?

If your theme was built before August 2021, your theme is Online Store 1.0 and suffers from limitations

Cannot add product-specific content to products

Making changes to specific products to address merchandising concerns is very difficult

Making changes to the store is difficult without a designer and developer

Custom content on the store has to be designed and then developed. Which comes with mixed results

Requires page builder apps for landing pages

Costly page builder apps work, but they can look amateur and cheap

Need to install excessive amount apps for small purposes

Size guides, fit guides, additional product details, product images require apps

Common Shopify Online Store 1.0 Concessions

Ever feel like your merchandising was just blah?

Hard to customize products
Having customizations for individual products is limited to the description or confusing apps
Have to use a page builder app for landing pages
Page builder apps do the job -- but they dont look like the rest of the store. Kinda cheesy
Your content is not optimized for all devices properly
Having to place text in images creates issues. Running sales and promotions is difficult when the only way to lay text out is centered in the middle
Have to use multiple apps during merchandising process
Making changes to products can require touching multiple apps that creates a confusing merchandising process
Have to have a developer and designer to make merchandising changes
Adding a reviews app widget to an area of your store requires a developer
