What Is A Store Theme?
If you're not great with online design or coding, not to worry! There is a theme for that! A store theme is essentially a ready-made template for your online shop. The theme will provide the foundation for a shop design, and you simply customize it to fit your brand! Add your logo, choose your colors, add your products, spruce it up with some imagery, then presto! You're done.
Choosing A Theme
Choosing a theme can be both a fun and frustration process. With so many to choose from, it can be hard to keep your vision clear. It can also be hard to see past the imagery used in examples of theme to see your own brand vision in the theme.
Try to look past the flashy example branding and concentrate on the bones of the theme. Think about these things and decide if they are a good fit for your brand and your vision:
- How is the home page laid out?
- How are the products laid out?
- How are the menus laid out?
- Does this theme inspire and excite me?
- Where can you add banners and other imagery?
- How will my logo fit in with the theme?
- What do the product pages look like?
- Is the theme responsive (will it work on mobile)?
- Will my vision fit into this structure?
