add a customisable footer or product testimonials, as well as
advanced product filters and featured image slider.

It also offers a currency converter for multi-currency checkout


options with Shopify Payments — useful if you have a global
customer base.

4. Brooklyn

Brooklyn is another theme made by Shopify itself. It comes with a


mobile-first responsive design approach, so you can expect great
navigation even on a mobile device.
The theme is perfect if you have fewer products, as opposed to a
large inventory. The top fullscreen slideshow is an eye-catching area
for you to show product images.

With a dynamic product grid and slide-out cart, your customers can
easily add items to their cart without leaving their current page. The
Brooklyn theme also offers home page video options, so that you can
hook customers with engaging video content front and centre on the
website. Brooklyn works particularly well on mobile devices.

Brooklyn works particularly well on mobile devices thanks to its


“mobile-first” philosophy

5. Narrative

Narrative is not just this theme’s name; it’s also a hint of what it does
best: showcasing single products through storytelling.
The Narrative theme was designed to feature a product and highlight
all of its benefits and features on a single page. This is not to say that
you can’t add more. You can, but it works best for single products.

Simple, elegant and focused, the Narrative theme is best if you need
to showcase a single product.

The Narrative theme is ideal for showcasing a single product

6. Boundless

If high-quality photographs are your site’s strong point, then


Shopify’s Boundless theme might be a good option. This free theme
makes your product photographs the highlight of your online store.

As a visually-led theme, Boundless is optimised for larger images,


allowing you to showcase high-resolution product imagery
throughout your store. It also offers a fade-effect slideshow, sticky
navigation and home page video options.
Because it’s quite minimalist, Boundless is useful whether you’re
selling bikes or candy.

Shopify’s Boundless theme is a great choice if you have strong


imagery on your website

7. Venture

Minimalist themes work very well because you can use them for many
different categories. However, sometimes you’ll want something that
looks and feels different. Venture is a free Shopify theme that has a
clear outdoorsy vibe, so it’s a great solution if your product targets
the sports and adventure categories.

Venture was built with large product catalogues in mind. This free
theme offers powerful features such as a multi-column drop-down
menu and product filtering, enabling your customers to find exactly
what they’re looking for.
That said, keep in mind that this theme was built for Shopify
dropshipping stores with a lot of products, so if you have just a few
products it may not be the best option.

Venture is ideal for stores with a large number of products

8. Fashe

Fashe is a Shopify theme developed by Colorlib. It was actually


developed initially as a premium template, before the company
decided to offer it for free. This means that you’ll find features you’d
expect in a premium theme with Fashe – but without the cost.

The strength of the Fasche theme is its minimalist design, which


works well for different categories, from bakery to electronics to
fashion.

The downside of that is that it can come across as a bit simplistic.


However, if you customise it, you can end up with a great-looking
eCommerce site without the price tag.
Fashe is a free Shopify theme that rivals premium offerings

9. Voonex

This free Shopify theme from Apollo Themes is specifically designed


to fit an eCommerce website that trades in events and conferences.

This theme’s special features includes pages such as Event


Information, Speaker Profiles, Sponsors, Schedules, The Venue, and
Event Blog, along with a structure that is tailor-made for attendees to
access event information. Voonex makes site navigation easy.

This theme is free for its basic version which comes with limited
features. If you want to upgrade to more sophisticated options, you’ll
have to pay for the Premium version (which costs USD $56).
Voonex is the best free theme for websites selling tickets and
managing information for events

10. Supply

If you’re a merchant with a large inventory and multiple collections,


Supply could be the Shopify theme for you. This theme will make you
shine if you’ve got more than 50 products, over five collections, or
large menus.

It offers a customisable sidebar, slideshow, and lets you showcase


featured collections easily on the homepage.

Another interesting feature is that it lets you activate filters so your


customers can segment collection pages by brand, price, and other
customisable options. The theme also has a simple integration with
the Product Reviews app, which allows you to add a customer review
feature to your products.

While the latest update to the theme seems like it has brought the
speed of the site slightly down (according to user reviews), Supply is
still a great alternative to a paid theme if you have a long list of
products on sale and you’re on a budget.

The Supply theme is specially designed for online stores that need to
display a large number of products

11. Thalia

A clean and minimalistic theme that works well for fashion brands,
Thalia was designed by aThemes. Its features include a responsive

selling fashion, but flexible enough to work with a variety of different
store types.

offers editable About Us, Contact and FAQ page sections.

Thalia is purpose-built for fashion apparel stores, but can be applied


successfully to other verticals
