Shopify — Designing your store

You are unique. Your shop can be too.

Why settle for uninspired templates and limited options that stifle your creativity? Shopify gives you as much flexibility as you need:

Instant style: use one of the beautifully designed themes that come free to use with your shop
The professional touch: contact a designer and order a custom solution perfectly tailored to your needs
Roll your own: do the designing yourself and either build your dream theme from scratch or use one of Shopify’s free themes as a jumping-off point.

Readymade Themes

Shopify comes with several readymade shop templates that you can apply to change your shop’s look; this is the easiest and fastest way to change the complete presentation of your Shopify store.

Simply go to the Assets section in your administrative area and select the theme of your choice from the theme gallery.

Shopify releases new themes on a regular basis.

Others should do it for me!
