Overview
The Baby First Box launched its Shopify store to offer curated subscription boxes and baby essentials for new parents. The goal was to create a smooth shopping experience that supports recurring purchases while maintaining a warm and approachable design aligned with the brand.
Instead of building an entirely new theme, the project focused on customizing Shopify’s default template using Liquid to meet the functional and design needs of a subscription-based store.
Through targeted modifications to Shopify templates and layouts, the store now supports structured product displays, subscription-friendly product pages, and a consistent brand presentation across the storefront.
Problem Statement

Product pages, collection layouts, and homepage sections needed modifications to better present subscription boxes and curated baby products.
Creating a Parent-Friendly Experience
The store design needed to feel warm, approachable, and easy to navigate for new parents browsing products.
Maintaining Shopify Flexibility
The customization needed to remain compatible with Shopify’s CMS so the client could manage products and content easily.
