Searching for a new 2.0 theme

[ErezCarbootWine]

Hi All,

We have an online wine retail website running on Debut. Obviously we need to migrate to a new 2.0 theme. Site speed is a big issue for us as we have a lot of consent: over 600 products with images. 

Does anyone have any advice for the best 2.0 themes to suit our type of website/business?

Hi @ErezCarbootWine,

It really depends on your product brand, but you have multiple Shopify 2.0 FREE themes to choice from, You can try Taste, or even Craft theme. If you want a sliding cart drawer, you can choose Refresh. 

They are built to make customization easier by using the Theme editor.

thanks @made4Uo I will check out those themes. We are happy to pay for a theme if it delivers better site speed and functionality and we don’t have to compromise on our content.

I am also keen to look at themes that have product pages where the price and product image are both above the fold on mobile.

Hello @ErezCarbootWine, 

We would like to advise you that you can look for the below themes that can boost your website speed.

• Prestige (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/prestige/styles/vogue)
• Warehouse (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/warehouse/styles/wood)
• Empire (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/empire/styles/graphic)
• Motion (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/motion/styles/elegant)
• Pipeline (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/pipeline/styles/dark)

Also, you can apply free 2.0 theme from Shopify, such as:

• Dawn (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/dawn/styles/default)
• Refresh (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/refresh/styles/default)
• Sense (https://themes.shopify.com/themes/sense/styles/default)

Note: Even after applying a new theme, you need to customize settings to boost your web speed. 

Website speed can be increased by working on the below points.

• Using optimized custom code instead of using a third-party app.
• Compressing images.
• Applying lazy loading on that part which is not responsible for the first appearance.

Hope it is helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
