Please suggest a theme for an informational website

Store Design

Topic summary

Objective: Build a Shopify informational site for Japanese students interested in studying in Sweden, with paid online advisory session bookings.

Requirements for a free Shopify theme (theme = storefront design template; apps = add-on functionality):

  • Bilingual support (Japanese and English).
  • Optimized for presenting information rather than selling products.
  • Calendar/booking to schedule and accept payments for online advice, either built-in or via a compatible Shopify app.

Latest update: A respondent recommended the free “Studio” theme (link provided). No details were given on its multilingual capabilities or how it would handle scheduling and payments.

Outcome/status: No confirmation that “Studio” meets the bilingual and booking requirements, and no specific apps were discussed. The request remains open, with key questions unanswered about multilingual support and calendar/payment integration.

I intend to develop a website on Shopify catering to Japanese students who are interested in studying in Sweden. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for a free theme that fulfills the following requirements:

  • Ability to support both Japanese and English languages.
  • Suitable for an informational website, as I will primarily present information to visitors and not engage in selling products.
  • Includes a calendar functionality to enable students to schedule and pay for online advice sessions with me. The theme should either have this functionality built-in or allow for the installation of a Shopify app to support it.
