Hi,

I’m desperately trying to identify this theme - https://toddreed.com/

Clearly the theme has been customized, but I need help figuring out what theme they started with… :folded_hands:

I tried a few shopify theme detectors but didn’t have any luck..

(Also open to suggestions for similar themes that lend themselves to a visual storytelling aesthetic)

Thanks for your help! :smiley:

Hi @shellen22

I’m Dan from Ryviu: Product Reviews & QA app

This is Shopify and tailwindcss, you can Google it to learn more, and does not have any suggest theme like that.

Best Regards,

Dan from Ryviu

of course I’ve googled it already! I didn’t come up with any answers which is why I ended up asking for help here hoping someone else may be able to figure out what I couldn’t.

What he is saying is that it is not a theme. It is built on the Shopify Plus platform from the ground up specifically for him. So there would not be a default starter theme, unfortunately.

Opps, replied to wrong person.

Ah, ok… That’s a bummer but at least it’s definitive. Any thoughts or suggestions for existing themes that are evocative of that site?

It is such a drastic step from what is normally available for paid themes that I would just take the free dawn theme and start from there. Dawn is Shopify’s go-to theme right now so Shopify’s latest and greatest features should already be coded into the theme.

thanks. I was hoping there would be a theme that had a similar vibe to at least start with… It’s so visually strong and perfect for the storytelling I’m looking to do. unfortunately, it’s a bit beyond my skill set to re-create some thing akin to it from scratch

I found something that might be a good starting point for you. Check out the “Next - Brandstore” theme on Shopify. It’s got a vibe that could align well with what you’re looking for. Here’s the link to see what it’s like: https://themes.shopify.com/themes/next/styles/brandstore/preview.

I use a different theme but i really like the next one. Hope this helps a bit! Let me know what you think. :blush:

Thanks so much! A little busy but a salad suggestion

Thats how theme previews go, they show all sections.

It sounds like you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the new documentation and setup. It’s not uncommon to feel that way when diving into something new, especially on day one. Walkthrough videos and example themes can indeed be incredibly helpful in getting a better understanding of how things work.

In the meantime, while you’re waiting for those resources, here are a few tips that might help you navigate the new setup:

  1. Take it step by step: Break down the documentation into smaller chunks and tackle one section at a time. Trying to absorb everything at once can be overwhelming.

  2. Experiment in your dev environment: Since you’ve created a new dev store, use it as a sandbox to experiment with the new features. Don’t be afraid to try things out and see how they work in practice.

  3. Reach out for help: If you come across any specific issues or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the community forums or support channels. Sometimes getting a fresh perspective or guidance from others can clarify things immensely.

  4. Keep an eye out for updates: New features and improvements are often rolled out over time, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates to the documentation or any additional resources that might be released.

And remember, it’s okay to take your time and allow yourself to learn at your own pace. You’re not expected to become an
