Shopify Themes - Free, Paid or Custom? (The Honest Truth)
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

The Best Shopify Themes for Your Online Store in 2022
The Best Shopify Themes for Your Online Store in 2022

Intro to Shopify Themes for your candle store part 5 (Pictures)
hey guys this is alfonso walker from aw,digital studios today we're going to,continue our discussion on themes but,we're going to focus on how to find the,best pictures for your store,so let's get started,when we're discussing about pictures the,number one thing you can do that i,recommend to all my clients is,providing customizable pictures right,you can you can get stock photos that's,great we're going to discuss some some,great websites to find that but the best,thing you can do is to make sure you,have as many customizable pictures that,are reflection of your brand,okay and the only way you can really do,that is by taking pictures yourself or,hiring someone professional to take good,quality pictures for you,i recommend both if you are a good,photographer then do that but i highly,recommend getting a professional because,that can really make or break your,website i've seen people with websites,they look like they do not look great,and people will leave them,and you should know because if you've,ever gone to a website that does not,have good quality pictures you tend to,want to leave and you go to the website,who does that does have good quality,pictures so it's very crucial you make,sure you have good quality customizable,pictures,now the first place i'm going to,recommend is going to fiverr,they have a lot of great photographers,so that's a good place you can start at,good quality prices that can fit,anyone's budget,but also if you can't do that just,google google some photographers in your,local area,and i'm sure you can find some good,photographers wherever you live,but now,let's say you want to get some stock,photos right that aren't necessarily,more generic but they're still good,quality stock photos,the first place i recommend is a place,called istock.com,uh you can just type in let's say we're,focusing on candles here but you can,obviously type in anything,you can get some good quality pictures,here that,are sold at a price that are very fair,i'd say around five to ten dollars but i,think that is,a good investment since these pictures,once you pay for them they're your,pictures and the advantage of that is is,that once they're your pictures no one,else can use them unless you allow them,to so you're not going to worry about,having a picture on your website,that,other people will have right and that's,one of the things you really don't want,to come across is if you have,a website and other people have seen the,same generic picture and other websites,it doesn't show that you've invested as,much time and it's a bad reflection on,your own branding your own products so,it's a great idea to possibly invest,five 10 bucks on a photo,and starting with eyestock is one place,another place you can find some good,good quality priced uh high quality,pictures is shutter stock,same situation by these products you can,get these images and you own these,images you have to worry about these,images showing up on other people's,websites,now if you want to g
