Before
We recreate the problem, note what changed, identify the important customer path, and make sure there is a safe way back if the repair does not behave as expected.
How repair works
Fix the problem without creating a new one.
A store under pressure does not need random changes. The repair should be small enough to understand, safe enough to test, and focused on the customer experience that is failing.
During
We keep the work focused on the theme, app, setting, or integration tied to the problem and avoid mixing in unrelated redesign requests.
After
We check the affected products, options, cart behavior, mobile experience, tracking, and any connected apps that matter to the repair.
When a rebuild may be the better answer
A larger rebuild may make sense when the theme is no longer supported, years of patches conflict with one another, the store structure blocks an important buying experience, or the desired change cannot be made safely in the current setup. That recommendation should come after the store is understood—not as the first sales pitch.
