Documenting our journey of creating a custom sign builder.

Sign boards now match the sizes you enter
Sign Customiser now draws rectangular boards, boxes and stands in the proportions of the width and height your customer chooses. A 20 × 20 cm plate looks square, portrait sizes look portrait, and the same geometry carries into newly generated product images. Pricing has not changed because it already used the selected or entered dimensions.
What’s Changed
- Boards match entered sizes. Square, portrait and landscape plates now keep the proportions of the selected preset or custom width and height.
- Boxes and stands follow the same base size. The main face matches the entered proportions, with box depth and stand feet built around it.
- Previews and product images agree. The customer customiser and newly generated product images use the same board geometry, so the design stays representative through checkout.
- Measurements line up with the board. Dimension arrows span the plate itself and show the width and height the customer selected.
- Eligible customisers update automatically. Frame Fit customisers with a rectangular board, box or stand and an explicit width and height now use this geometry without any merchant reconfiguration.
- Prices stay the same. Pricing was already calculated from the width and height customers selected or entered. This release corrected the geometry, not the price.
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.
