Post-mortem
We initially built this website using Webflow for use with Webflow's e-commerce solution. But after some time, the client decided to switch to Shopify as it was a much better solution and provided a much better CMS.
So within a matter of days, I converted the Webflow site to a Shopify template using my basic understanding of CSS & HTML and some Webflow>Shopify plugins (Udesly and Wappalyser).
It was a manic sprint to the date of the launch but thankfully, it was a successful first launch, with many positive reviews on the website from customers and friends of the brand.

Post-launch
Webflow to Shopify conversion wasn't as seamless as we had hoped. Though the site held up for the first launch, the site was not easily editable.
All of the dynamic Webflow backend for the CMS did not translate well into Shopify's CMS.

The design held up for about a year supporting 3-4 more drops, then it was sunset as maintenance was a large effort.
