Trouble Customizing The Layout

Topic summary

Main issue: A merchant using a free Shopify theme needs help customizing the layout and overall look and feel of a framing repair service website.

Guidance provided: Two methods were suggested in Shopify admin:

  • Use Online Store > Theme > Customize to adjust layout and design via the visual editor. Screenshots were shared to show the navigation path.
  • Use Edit code to insert custom code directly in the theme files. A screenshot illustrates where to access this option.

Notes: The reply focuses on where to customize rather than specific design steps or limitations of free themes. Images are central, showing the exact locations in the admin for “Customize” and “Edit code.”

Status/outcome: No confirmation from the original poster that the issue is resolved. The discussion remains open with initial guidance provided.
