214. The 5 Lessons I Learned from Redesigning Our Shopify Website

Surprise… we have a brand new website! 🎉Honestly, updating our site was not on my 2025 bingo card. The old site was fine, it did the job, and I had a hundred other things on my plate. But after working with an incredible dev team on another project, they started poking holes in thelegalpaige.com—and I realized it was time to make a big change.Now our new custom Shopify site is live (go to https://thelegalpaige.com and check it out!) and in this episode, I’m sharing the 5 biggest takeaways from this process so you have a roadmap when it’s your turn to revamp your own website.Here’s what I cover:Why website projects always take longer than you think (and how to budget your timeline so you don’t lose your mind).Why you can’t disappear from the design process—even if you hire amazing experts.How we used AI to speed things up, but why brand voice and human POV still matter more than anything.Why templates are fine for the early stages, but custom is the right move when you’re ready to scale.Why UX beats fancy features every time (and how we simplified navigation + product pages to make buying contracts easier).This wasn’t just a facelift—it was about making thelegalpaige.com faster, easier to navigate, and more user-friendly for the thousands of small business owners who come to us for contracts, education, and resources.👉 Go take a spin through the new site at https://thelegalpaige.com and let me know what you think. If you tag me on Instagram with your favorite part of the new site, I’ll even send you coffee on me ☕—because launching a new website deserves a celebration, and I don’t want to celebrate this milestone alone.Links and Resources:Need 1:1 legal support for your business? https://griffithsuazolaw.com/  Join the TLP Facebook Community, a safe space to ask any questions related to the law or your business: https://tlpfacebook.com/ Visit The Legal Paige for contract templates, blogs, and additional legal resources: https://thelegalpaige.com/ Follow me on Instagram: instragram.com/thelegalpaige
