What's the optimal theme for my online store?

Hi Everyone,

I’m currently using a custom 3rd party Theme built by a developer who is no longer available to assist me.

Unfortunately, I’m encountering issues with site speed, prompting me to consider switching to a new Theme.

While I’m pleased with the overall layout and functionality of my current setup, I’m unsure whether fixing the existing Theme or switching to a new one would be the best course of action.

Additionally, if I do decide to transition to a new Theme, I’m unsure which one would be the best fit for my store.

please take a look on my website

Any assistance or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@SKTEDS welcome to the Shopify Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been evaluating your current Shopify store built on the Shopify 1.0 platform and have identified several opportunities for improvement and growth by migrating to Shopify 2.0. This transition offers numerous benefits, including enhanced performance, improved design flexibility, and expanded functionalities to better serve your business and customers.

Current Store speed score are for mobile : 9 and for desktop version are up-to 22 which are very low score. For better look and feel theme suggestions are below.

Premium Theme

  • Warehouse
  • Eurus
  • Impulse
  • Empire
  • Flex

Free Theme

  • Dawn
  • Taste
  • Sense
  • Studio
  • Spotlight

All of above themes have latest features of Shopify 2.0.

Thanks

Hello

Thank you for your assistance.

It was quite enlightening to learn that I am still using Shopify 1.0. Upon discovering this, I reached out to Shopify support and engaged in a chat with an advisor. Below, you’ll find the details of our conversation.

Thank you so much for waiting, I really appreciate it. As promised, I checked my system further and it shows that you can confirm if your store is in 2.0 version is If your theme was created before June 2021, and you haven’t updated versions, there is a good chance you are still using Shopify 1.0. Within your theme customizer experience, click Add Section (+), and note whether an App section is available. If App sections are available to add, then you are leveraging Shopify 2.0.


We can confirm this as well by checking your theme codes. In Online Store > Themes > click Actions > Edit code. In Templates folder of your theme, find product.json file, it exists which means your theme is a Shopify 2.0 OS theme.

With these information above, we can definitely confirm that you are using Shopify 2.0

this is the information they provided, so looks like we use 2.0,

Hi @SKTEDS

yes the theme is 2.0 if this was built by a developer after 2021 hopefully. Do let me know if you still want to change the layout to a new design.

thanks
