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

Shopify Dawn Theme: Display Inventory On Product Page, No App
Shopify Dawn Theme: Display Inventory On Product Page, No App
today i'm going to show you the easiest,way to add your product inventory uh or,your stock level uh onto the product,page on dawn and on other modern shopify,things this is really easy to do if your,product does not have variance like,color or like size,unfortunately it gets pretty complicated,if your product does have variants so i,won't be covering that in today's video,but if that's actually what you're,looking for just leave a comment below,and i'll make that video for you and,like i said this is a tutorial using,dawn which is shopify's new default,theme on shopify online store 2.0 but,you can do the same thing on any theme,that has the custom liquid code block,available on the product page so as you,can see here i am on my product page on,my development store,and i have this line right under the,price that says we have six items,remaining this is a product without any,variance so this is really easy to do,first we're going to add a block,and that block type is going to be,custom liquid okay so this is,a block where you can add custom code,now i'm just going to write test,so that it shows up,here it is at the bottom test,and i'm just going to drag it up,to where i want it to be so like right,under the price,there it is,and i'll just hide my other block right,now,because i'm just going to show you step,by step how to do this,first thing i'm going to do is write,stock or something like that and then,i'm going to add these curly braces like,this,and we're going to write product,dot,variance,dot first,dot inventory,quantity,okay with an underscore,and that will show up our inventory,quantity great so the next thing you,might want to do is add text,to other parts so if you want to put it,in a sentence like mine was,then i would,write something like we have,and then this,code and then items remaining at the end,here,and we can also wrap this in a paragraph,so that it's,neat you know,don't forget the closing tag,all right this is just normal html right,paragraph tags now another thing you,might want to do is,only show it when you're low in stock,on a particular product right,so we can add an if statement,that says,if you have less than five products,then show this otherwise do nothing,so let's do this let's open,a logic block in liquid okay and we're,going to write if,and then here is where we write the,condition,okay and we're going to write,and if,once again in a logic block and if,after,the code that we want to show up,okay,so,and what is our condition the condition,is that this number that we're,outputting,is less than 5 so you can literally,copy this,paste it here,and we're going to write,less than,5,product variance,first inventory quantity is less than 5,show this so as you can see it's,disappeared from here,because we have more than 5. if i had,less than 10,it would reappear,there you go so that's all guys it is,pretty simple,i'll also add this code in the video,description and like i said if you have,a product with variants this won't work,

Adding a Custom Block in a #Shopify Theme
Adding a Custom Block in a #Shopify Theme
hi i'm jonah with sweet honeycode and,today we're going to dive into,how to code a custom block for our,shopify theme so let's get started first,the suggestion for this theme came from,a comment so i do read your comments,down down below,so let's dive into this what are custom,blocks well custom blocks essentially,add additional blocks we may want to use,to,within our theme so what i did here is,in a previous video i already done a,clone of the dawn theme which is the,proper way of handling this to create,our own little theme,and so i've gone to templates,and,then,to product.json which i have open here,perfect so over in this area we want,what we want to find is where the,sections begin,and where the blocks section is defined,since this is a json file it uses the,json side text to,for formatting and we want to follow,those rules so what we want to do is i'm,going to scroll down here to where the,last block is defined that way i have a,mental marker for,where i'm going to be defining mine so,i'm just going to add a comma here and,start typing my definition which will be,custom,dash block of course you can come up,with your own name but make sure it's,one that you will remember and then we,do curly brackets and say what type of,it is,so this type is not saying if it's a,text,block or things like that this is more,of a type in terms of,what type of block we will be looking,for,in our code,later on so i'm just going to call it,custom block,just again for example's sake so there,we go we can save that so now that we,started the definition or at least told,our theme that we are going to have this,block we now need to write the logic,code to help this block be discovered,and to render any code we need to to our,theme and for today i'm keeping it very,basic but you could definitely explore,other ways go here for example i can go,down to block order and say what order,this appears for example so i can do a,comma,custom block that way,it is appearing in my selection of,options in a certain way perfect so now,we're going to go to,sections and then main dash product dot,liquid this,file already has a lot of liquid code it,can get be really hard to find at first,but what you're looking for,is no pun intended this for loop so what,a for loop does is it will go through a,certain loop depending on the number of,items it finds based off of what you,tell it so in this example we have a for,loop that says for block that's our,variable there and sections dot block we,will now,tell it what to do with the case,selector of block.type now we can say,what types of blocks are we rendering,code for so this way we're filtering,through the for loop a little bit better,and so the type we are looking for is,the type we defined here,in this spot,so now that we know that i'm going to,tell it,following the same,code format here i'm going to do curly,brackets percentage the dashes and put a,space here,and we're going to do when,single quote,custom,dash block so i am telling it whe

Reviewing The New Shopify Free Themes
Reviewing The New Shopify Free Themes
if you weren't already convinced that,shopify is one of the best companies in,the world then after today hopefully,you'll be a little more convinced so in,today's video what we're gonna do is go,through all of the new shopify updated,themes that they just dropped so this is,literally brand new stuff they just,released three new themes that you can,use and the great thing about these,themes is not only how customizable they,are but the fact that they are free so,you can literally download these themes,on your ecommerce store today and not,pay a single penny so i got the themes,pulled up right here so that we don't,have to waste any time now you may have,seen in a previous video of mine from a,few months ago actually when they first,released this new theme right here,called don now don is a theme that i,still use on a couple of my stores i,even use it for the art branch of my,company netsphere and it's extremely,clean extremely fast and pretty,customizable so let me show you real,quick what it actually looks like on a,store as you can see it's very very,simple very clean and you can use tabs,here so you don't have to download any,website building apps or anything you,can just create everything through the,theme i also want to take this,opportunity to say that we officially,released the netsphere membership it's,less than a dollar a day and by signing,up you'll be getting our full e-commerce,course for free and be able to join our,private live streams you can also access,all the past live streams because we've,been recording all of them in one of,them for example i actually brought in,one of my friends and interviewed her on,how she did over a million dollars with,her store in only two months which is,pretty insane so you can check that out,in the description but the don theme was,the first theme that they released as a,part of their os 2.0 update now if,you're just a regular shopify store,owner or like a drop shipper then that,doesn't really mean a lot to you but if,you're a developer or some sort of,programmer then this is really important,to know the os 2.0 apparently is a big,upgrade to their theme architecture it,separates each app extension into app,blocks which allows you to have more,flexible content on your store and,that's only one of the upgrades that you,can see with the os 2.0 update but i'm,not going to cover that here because a,lot of you guys aren't developers and i,don't want to bore you to death but yeah,the dawn theme is amazing but these,three new ones are the ones that we're,gonna go through today so the first one,is craft the second one is crave and the,third one is called sense so let's just,go one by one and review each one to see,if they would fit your store and just,out of curiosity so the first one is,called craft now this one is a refined,theme that celebrates craftsmanship,apparently it's great for home and,garden stores really any catalog size,stores and a quick setup with visual,storytelling so this is a home goods,sto
