The winners of Shopify’s sixth annual “Build a Business” competition have been announced — and among them is an Out of the Sandbox Shopify theme user whose success with a simple and straightforward use of a theme is worth noting.
Designing and setting up a new Shopify theme is exciting — and fun — but it’s also easy to get carried away with over-customizing your store — right down to the color of every button, border and bullet point. Over-customizing the colors in your Shopify theme can be time-consuming and complex to do right.
When setting up and managing your Shopify theme there are pretty much an unlimited number of options, settings and customizations you can do. However, with so many available to experiment with, it's easy to overdo it.
Last week, we discussed the key differences between common Shopify and theme-related terms that often cause confusion for store owners — however, one important distinction that wasn’t addressed in the earlier post was “theme issues” versus “theme customization."
New Shopify users often find it difficult to get acquainted with the unique language and terminology the platform uses. The terms and jargon often get thrown about without much explanation, so things can get confusing pretty fast.
Getting your Shopify theme just the way you want it can often be done using your own time and skills, but there comes a point for most storeowners when they need the helping hand of a pro. Fortunately, Shopify has built a solid community of developers, designers and other service providers who can help out with your store.
