How We Mastered Title Size in Shopify’s Dawn Theme: A Mini Odyssey
You know, life sometimes throws you a curveball wrapped in what seems like a trivial problem. Adjusting the title size on a Shopify product page was ours. Remember that moment, when you're sitting at your desk, staring at your website, and a sense of unease grows as you realize your product page title is shouting at visitors like a town crier on caffeine? Yep, that moment was familiar territory.
We stood at this crossroads, and like a good buddy, we’re here to share how we elegantly dismantled this hurdle in the Dawn theme. Grab a seat.
Our Digital Ordeal Begins
Picture this: We have our coffee in hand, laptops open, and our eyes laser-focused on our screens. We wanted our website to have this sleek, polished look, but our product title was the elephant in the room. Not the charming elephant at the zoo, but the kind that hogs all the attention and leaves little room for anything else.
First up, we had to dive bravely into the uncharted seas of Shopify's Dawn theme. Not exactly the Bermuda Triangle, but certainly intimidating enough for those who don’t typically swim in CSS code.
Deciphering the CSS Maze
Here's where we earn our tech-savvy badges. Let’s journey step by step through the Dawn theme's mystical code cave:
Find the Stylesheet (styles.css):
- Navigate to your Shopify admin area. Click on Online Store > Themes.
- Beside the Dawn theme, tap Actions and then Edit code.
- A whisper of trepidation hits as you scroll to find
assets/styles.css
.
Seek Out the Product Title CSS:
- In
styles.css
, initiate a friendly search (use Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) for.product__title
. - This is our Rosetta Stone — the CSS class that crowns your product titles.
- In
Edit the Title Size:
- Look for the
font-size
property within this class. - Update the value to match your creative ambition. Could be
1.5rem
,24px
, or a really bold 3vw for those daring experiences. Here's a snippet for clarity:
.product__title { font-size: 2rem; /* Make this whatever size you fancy */ }
- Save your changes like a proud artist signifying a finished masterpiece.

The Little Mistakes We Make
Remember that time we forgot to hit 'Save'? Or that adventurous period when we altered unrelated styles and watched our site do the digital equivalent of a wardrobe malfunction? Ah, good memories. Check twice, save once. It’s a mantra.
Friends, Feedback, and Finishing Touches
As our saga unfolded, we knew it wasn’t enough just to lean back and sip celebratory coffee. We roped in our team members — those unsung heroes gifted with fresh eyes. They helped with honest feedback, sometimes pointing out how the new title size might work better if tweaked by a few pixels.
This synergy of shared insights was like having a reliable compass in unsteady terrain, steering us toward design harmony.
Conquering the Styling Challenge
Now, perhaps you're thinking our Odyssey-like enthusiasm is a smidge overblown. But seriously, having a well-sized, aesthetically pleasing title can transform your product page skyward from bland to grand. It’s often those minuscule tweaks that echo the loudest in user experience.
In our post-adventure high, our website felt more cohesive, with titles that didn’t scream "LOOK AT ME" but rather purred "Welcome to a seamless shopping experience."
Conclusion: Our Bold Reclamation of Style
Now, friends, we stand victorious. We've cracked the mystery of resizing those feisty Dawn theme titles and embraced the joy that comes with a page that’s both functional and fetchingly elegant.
For anyone out there staring down their own digital dilemmas, remember this: Each little victory over technical intimidation is a step toward mastery. And yes, maybe sometimes it feels like you’ve just outsmarted the Matrix.
So go forth and conquer your website tribulations with vigor and a dash of irreverence. We’ll be here, with tales of title tweaks and coding conquests, ready to swap stories and laugh about the way these small victories make us smile.
