Shopify Themes - Free, Paid or Custom? (The Honest Truth)
so far on this channel we've continued,to go deeper and deeper into shopify,theme development but today i want to,zoom out and talk more broadly about the,need for theme development to begin with,if you're new here i'm chris and i,currently specialize as a front-end web,developer for the shopify platform i.e i,do shopify theme development but if,you've clicked on this video i'm going,to take a guess and say that you don't,actually need my services let me explain,so given that i've built a bit of a,reputation for this kind of work i get a,range of people reach out to me some of,which are just starting out in,e-commerce and to virtually all of these,people i tell them to start with a,pre-built theme and focus on customizing,their theme later,why because as a new store owner your,primary goal should be on sales and,marketing not on getting your theme,perfectly customized i'll be honest a,custom site for me is typically going to,come with a five figure price tag and if,you don't have a ton of traffic on the,site yet that budget is probably better,spent on generating traffic instead,pre-built themes whether free or paid,will do the trick for the majority of,sellers and with premium themes starting,at a price tag of just around 220 usd,it's an easy investment to justify that,is until you reach a certain level,that level is typically when you start,to turn over more than a million dollars,in revenue at this point you have a real,business and with around 40 profit,margin you're making around 400k which,you can start to split up between,marketing and website improvements,people often ask me do i build websites,to which i answer no i customize,existing ones regardless of whether,you're just starting out or a few years,into your business,very rarely is it the case that i as a,developer need to create a brand new,theme for a client,most e-commerce sites have similar,features almost every product page has a,set of product images a product title,description price product form,and the add to cart button so there's no,need to reinvent the wheel but with a,bit of theme development we can add,extra features to the product page make,unlimited changes to the styling of this,page and this is where theme development,comes in,while the theme might come with some,customization options the only way to,achieve full control is enlisting the,help of someone who understands,front-end web development on the shopify,platform so with this in mind let me,directly answer the question in the,title of this video,the first decision you need to make is,free or paid theme as i mentioned,earlier this is going to be a question,you need to answer no matter whether you,plan to create a custom site or not as,it's almost always more cost efficient,to start with a pre-built theme and this,decision i would recommend you make,based purely on your budget if you can,afford the two to three hundred dollars,required to buy a premium theme then i,definitely recommend you do it,at the time of record
Let's move on to the first section of Cosy theme shopify
How much does it cost to sell on Shopify in 2023
How much does it cost to sell on Shopify in 2023
in this video I'm going to show you how,much does it cost to start selling on,Shopify many people assume that the only,costs involved in here are the Shopify,monthly fees but that's not exactly,right because there are many things that,you need to pay for and there are many,costs involved some of them can be,avoided and others cannot in this video,I'm going to break down all the involved,costs and I'm going to give you my best,recommendations depending on your budget,and how much you are willing to spend so,get your paper and pen or maybe your,iPad ready and let's start the first,course involved is obviously the Shopify,monthly fee and here you can choose,between five different plans but mostly,probably you would go with a standard,plan or with a Shopify plan so you would,be either paying 24 dollars per month or,maybe 69 depending on which plan you,went with now if you pay for the full,year you can lower this cost from 24 per,month to 21 dollars per month well it's,up to you but logically speaking if you,are looking to create a sustainable,business you must at least pay for one,year now that you have signed up to,Shopify and you decided which plan you,are going to use we move on to the cost,number two and it is to get your,professional domain name when you sign,up to Shopify Shopify will give you a,default store URL that looks something,like this I highly recommend you to use,your own domain name so you must,purchase it you can purchase it from any,domain name provider such as namesilo,name cheap or maybe even Shopify or from,GoDaddy if you decide to use name zero,for example and you purchase your domain,name for two years this is gonna cost,you 28 dollars and that's it basically,these are the only costs that you must,pay starting a Shopify store can cost,you less than 50 dollars as a starting,point but we are not looking to create,any Shopify store we are looking to,create a very professional highly,converting Shopify store and that's why,there might be more costs and more world,so stay with me now moving to the Third,Coast and it is the cost of purchasing a,Shopify professional team,well whether you want to go with a free,theme or with a p theme this is a,decision that you need to make,there are many good free themes that are,available within the Shopify theme store,but I highly recommend you to go with a,professional theme if you have some,budget and I'm going to explain to you,why well building a store takes time and,usually paid themes offer so many,Advanced features and tactics that will,allow you to increase your store,conversion rate and your average order,value well with free themes the options,are limited that's why if you have the,budget I highly recommend you to go with,a paid theme so for the course number c,you can either pay zero or pay something,between 250 dollars to 350 dollars,depending on the theme you choose now,moving to the course number four and it,is the cost for your email marketing,software if you have been following me,
