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.
