Documenting our journey of creating a custom sign builder.
Sign board previews now match every size
Sign Customiser now shows each rectangular sign board in the shape your customer selected. A square board stays square, while portrait and landscape formats look visibly different before the customer orders.

What’s Changed
- True-to-size previews. Square, portrait and landscape boards keep the width-to-height ratio the customer selects.
- Accurate boxes and stands. Rectangular boxes and stands use the same proportions as the chosen sign size.
- Matching product images. Newly generated product images keep the board shape customers saw while designing their sign.
- Clearer measurements. Width and height guides line up with the board itself, making each format easier to compare.
- No setup needed. Eligible customisers update automatically, and pricing stays the same.
Categorised Shopify product types for generated signs
Sign Customiser now gives each newly generated Shopify product a product type that matches its sign category. This makes it easier to build collections, shipping rules and other Shopify automations for different kinds of signs.
What’s Changed
- Product types now match the sign - New acrylic, metal, stencil, wooden, aluminium, braille, wood-frame and lightbox products receive their own clear product type.
- Neon remains familiar - New neon products keep the existing
Custom Neonproduct type, so established neon workflows continue to work. - Existing products stay unchanged - The new product types apply when Sign Customiser creates a product. Products already in Shopify are not renamed.
