Quick answer: An ecommerce client needed their existing customized Shopify theme updated with new text, updated photos and videos, and a proper Arabic translation. Amwhiz proposed working directly within the existing theme rather than rebuilding it, and implementing the Arabic translation with full right-to-left layout support rather than a simple text swap.
The client needed edits made to an already-customized Shopify theme: adding text, adding and removing photos and videos, and adding translations for an Arabic interface. Further details were left to be discussed during an onboarding call.
This kind of scope, editing an already-customized theme, updating text and media, and adding Arabic translation, is quick, straightforward work Amwhiz takes on regularly.
The proposal drew on a directly relevant past project: a nine-store Shopify Plus rollout across the GCC, where Amwhiz built and maintains bilingual EN/AR storefronts. That project required handling right-to-left layout, Arabic interface translation, and keeping both language versions consistent as the stores evolved.
For this project, Amwhiz proposed working directly in the client's existing customized theme, with no rebuild needed, updating text and swapping photos and videos as directed, and implementing the Arabic translation properly: right-to-left aware, rather than a simple text swap that would break the layout.
Ahead of the onboarding call, Amwhiz asked for the store link so the team could take a first look at the existing theme before discussing specifics.
By scoping the work precisely against the brief and drawing on directly comparable past projects, Amwhiz helped move the engagement from an unfinished brief to a professional, ready-to-launch result.
No. Arabic reads right to left, so a proper implementation needs right-to-left-aware layout handling, not just a text swap, or the page structure can break in ways that make the interface hard to use.
Not usually. An already-customized theme can often be edited directly to add a new language, provided the developer accounts for layout direction and text length differences between languages.
Sharing the store link upfront lets the developer review the existing theme structure before the project starts, which makes it easier to scope the work accurately and flag any layout considerations during the onboarding call.
