Layout & Color Themes

This screen lets you choose a theme for your store. A theme gives your store a consistent look and feel by setting a standard page layout and color scheme. When you pick a theme, all the existing pages in your store take on that page layout and color scheme, and any new pages that you create after picking a theme use the page layout and colors of the theme.

Most themes are available in a variety of color schemes.

1. Look through the list of themes on the left; the current theme is presented at the top, followed by all other themes organized into three categories: Featured Themes (themes that ShopSite is promoting), More Themes (all themes that are neither "Featured" nor "Legacy"), and Legacy Themes (older themes that may not support all of the newest features). Your goal should be to find a layout (don't worry about colors yet) you like for your pages.
2. Click on the thumbnail image to select the theme. This will display an image of an example store page using the selected theme in the right-hand frame.
3. Use the links above the image to select a Color Scheme for the theme. The image in the right-hand frame will change to reflect the selected Color Scheme. You can also click the links above the image under Preview to switch between images of an example shopping cart and the store page.
4. Once you have settled on a theme and color scheme you like, click Save Changes to set the theme throughout your store. You will need to republish your store to see the changes reflected on your site.

Note: Some themes may change the default image sizes. If your image sizes change when you select a new theme, they can be set back on a product-by-product or power edit basis.

You can see how templates interact with ShopSite's built-in themes and see more information about each theme within the ShopSite Custom Template Cookbook.
