Examples of themes based on businesses
If you are a service-based brand, the most important thing to highlight in your store would be the ‘About us’ section. In that case, a theme like Rugged or Fire may fit your bill the best. It clearly highlights what your brand does and explains the short and long-term vision of your business.
If you have a want to sell home decor online, then you probably require bigger and higher quality photos as compared to a detailed textual description. For the best experience, you should try out the Decor or Ikkat themes from our gallery.
If you have to sell food items like Desserts or have products that are focused on children, you can use the Fun theme. It is more colourful and lively. It also lets you avoid the serious tone and makes your store provide a warm experience.
For other products like clothing, art, and accessories it would be better to go with a theme that offers you elements to have bigger pictures and more visual aids. We suggest the Sakra theme from our premium options and Cipher which is a free version.
You can further customise the theme you pick by going into Store setting > Theme option on your left panel. Here you can edit elements like slider image, banner text, home page customisation, and much more.
