Storefront

WHAT_I_BUILT

Built from scratch rather than on a base theme, so every template on the store is custom — aimed at presenting a spec-heavy, multi-line catalog clearly to buyers comparing high-value hardware. Three areas carry most of the work.

01 / HOMEPAGEDESKTOP

Homepage

Hero, hitch-configuration guide, collection showcase, quality and brand sections, product videos, testimonials, blog feed and newsletter signup, all as editable sections.

02 / COLLECTIONSDESKTOP

Collection pages

One collection per hitch line: The Patriot, The Commander, The Major, The Captain, The General, plus the trailer jack and accessories.

03 / PRODUCTDESKTOP

Product pages

Spec-heavy products: towing capacity, adjustment range, finish and accent-color variants, presented for buyers comparing high-value hardware.

BUILD

CUSTOM_THEME

From scratch

No base theme. Liquid templates, JavaScript for storefront behavior, hand-written HTML and CSS for layout and responsive breakpoints.

LIQUID_SECTIONS

Modular sections

Pages are composed from reusable Liquid sections with schema settings, so the store team adds, reorders and edits content in the theme editor without touching templates.
