Choosing Your Theme
Before beginning, you need to select a theme for your Shopify store. You can choose from a variety of themes available, or preview the diamond stores they have built already. For the purpose of this video, I have chosen the popular free theme – Dawn.
Customizing Your Theme
Once you have chosen your theme, it can be added to your Shopify store. After opening the customized section, you can update the header and template sections, as well as the footer section. Keep in mind that this video will focus primarily on the desktop view, as all themes are optimized for desktop and will automatically be customized for mobile.
Designing the Header Section
The header section is an important part of your store and can be used to promote any offers or free shipping. You can also update your store logo and menu within this section, as well as add social media links and adjust the size, color, and position of your logo.
Creating Your Store Menu
In order to create the menu for your store, you will need to navigate to the ‘Online Store’ section and then go into ‘Navigation’. Here, you can add menu items, including collections and subcollections, and finalize the menu for your store.
Customizing the Homepage Template
The homepage template section is where you can add various sections such as image banners, featured collections, and image with text. You can customize each section by dragging to adjust the order and size, as well as adding text, buttons, and product images.
Adding Products and Collections
You can create collections and link them to specific sections on your homepage, showcasing best-selling products, new arrivals, or featured collections. Additionally, you have the option to customize the display of these collections, including the number of columns, image shape, and product hover options.
Designing Image Text Sections
The image text section can be used to add single products to your storefront page, providing a brief description and a call-to-action button. This section can also be used to display brand information or customer reviews.
Finalizing the FAQs and Footer Sections
Adding frequently asked questions and footer menus to your homepage allows visitors to access essential information and navigate through your store easily. You can create these pages in the ‘Pages’ section under ‘Online Store’ and then customize the footer menu within the footer section.
