So, you are wondering how you should choose a Shopify theme for your Shopify or Shopify Plus web store. There are a lot of Shopify Themes to choose from and there are a few selection options that you have. Shopify has over 100 free themes in their theme store. But they also have many premium themes in their Shopify app and theme store. If you choose a free theme you can install it on your Shopify or Shopify Plus web store without incurring an extra charge. The premium Shopify themes vary in price usually between $100 and $200, but they can certainly be higher than that. However, those are not the only two options that you have when it comes to premade themes for Shopify:
Shopify Options you Might not be Aware of
If you look at the Shopify web site, you may get the impression that the only place that you can get Shopify themes is on the Shopify site. However, that’s not the case at all. You can actually find premade Shopify themes all over the web if you type the search term into Google. There are even more free themes out there that are on the Shopify site, although most of the ones that are on third-party sites do cost money.
Customizing a Shopify Theme
There are also designers and Shopify design agencies like the Seibert Consulting Group out there that will customize a Shopify theme for you. In fact, there are agencies and designers out there that will create an entire new Shopify theme for you. Of course, this is the most involved of all the options for selection of a Shopify or Shopify Plus theme, and it requires the most investment, however working on a custom Shopify theme for your Shopify or Shopify Plus web store will ensure that you get exactly the store look-and-feel that you want. If you have a free or premium theme that you like except for a few small items, you should also be able to get a designer or design agency such as the Seibert Consulting Group to fix those problems for a lot less than you would have to pay someone to design an entire custom Shopify theme.
How to Choose
Which theme you choose will depend on several factors. If you can find a free Shopify theme that fits your stores personality and has all of the functionality and features that you want, then you may want to go with that theme. The next step up, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, is to look through the premium themes both on the Shopify site and off. From there, you are left with getting a designer or Shopify / Shopify Plus design agency such as the Seibert Consulting Group to customize the theme for you or getting us to change a theme for you. If you have a smaller budget, you might be stuck doing without some features that you want.
