Charlie Oven store

I look after the store day to day: custom theme sections, a recipe blog, reviews pages and a map of stockists.

Role: Shopify Developer & E-commerce Lead

Year: 2025–now

Problem

Charlie ovens cost thousands of pounds, so people want to see what they can cook, read what owners think and find one to look at in person before buying. The store needed pages for all of that, built so the team can keep editing them in the theme editor.

What I built

Custom Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks with settings the team edits without touching code
A recipe blog backed by metaobjects, filterable by cooking method (bake, grill, roast, smoke, braise, sear)
Reviews pages that collect owner reviews in one place
A stockist map built on Leaflet that only loads when it scrolls into view, with a country filter
Theme changes go through pull requests on GitHub and are checked at phone and desktop widths before they go live

Stack

Shopify, Liquid, Online Store 2.0, Metaobjects, JavaScript, Leaflet

Outcome

Custom OS 2.0 sections and templates, including the recipe blog, the reviews pages and the stockist map
A colour-gallery system rolled out across 22 products

What I learned

Shipping theme changes from Git with review beats editing live in the admin.
