The problem
Xado's Empire theme had fallen behind, limiting access to current theme features, performance improvements and compatibility with newer app integrations.
What I built
Executed a clean Empire theme upgrade, carefully migrating existing customisations to the new version with no data loss or visual regression.
The outcome
Theme upgraded and live, delivered quickly and diligently.
