How to design a Shopify store? Hey guys, welcome back! In this video, I will be showing you how
0:04
you can design your own Shopify store to sell your products online. So let's get into it
0:10
First of all, what you need to do is you're gonna actually go to your Shopify.com. If you do not
0:16
have an account on Shopify already, if you do not have a store, then you can create one by going to
0:21
Shopify.com. Shopify.com is an amazing e-commerce platform that allows you to create your store
0:27
online for free and get started. You can also get a free trial on Shopify. You will be able to create
0:33
your products. There is a Shopify store available that gives you a lot of different integrations
0:38
You'll be able to design and customize a lot of different templates that are available and themes
0:44
that give you the best store. So let's get into it! If you already have a store, let me show you
0:50
how to design it professionally. So once you get to your Shopify admin, you will have to go to your
0:55
sales channel here and select online store. Inside online store, you're gonna select themes. So here
1:02
we have our Shopify theme. Now you can see it's the Dawn theme that is a default theme we get
1:08
But you can scroll down a little bit and you will get a theme library. Here we have some of the free
1:14
themes available where we have Dawn, we have Refresh, we have Craft and then we have more. You can click
1:20
on the visit theme store and you'll be able to actually explore a lot of other themes available
1:24
You can see this is what a store looks like on Shopify. We will be able to customize it completely
1:29
You can add your products, you can customize the header and the footer too. So I have selected the
1:35
Dawn theme as well. Once you select a theme, then you will click on customize. So this is our editor
1:41
on Shopify. This is where we design and customize our store. So first of all, let me show you. So at
1:47
the top, we will get all of the pages that we have. We have a homepage, product page, collection
1:52
collection list, pages, blogs, cart and more. So you will select the page where you want to
1:59
customize whatever page. So we'll actually customize the homepage first. Once you select the
2:04
page, then you will get different sections here. We can add different sections to a store. Right now
2:08
we have a header section added. Then we have an image banner, featured products and then we have
2:13
a footer. So we'll customize it completely. And then we have our design here. So this is the theme
2:19
settings and designs where I can customize the logo, colors, typography, layout, buttons. Then we
2:25
have inputs, product cards, blog cards, badges, icons. So everything will be, you know, edited
2:30
right here. We'll go to the sections here. And in section, first of all, we have the header
2:35
So inside my header, if I want to add anything else, if I want to add a color scheme in the
2:41
background, if I want to upload a logo, then we will select the header, click on the logo and
2:46
select the logo from our computer. We can also customize the main menu because this is the main
2:51
menu we have here. It'll show me all of the pages that we have on our store. So I don't want to
2:56
change it. I want to show the main menu on my header. Then we have a desktop menu type. So it's
3:03
a drop down. But if I want to go with a mega menu, then it will change the style from here. But we'll
3:09
go with the drop down because this one actually looks more optimized. After that, we have a sticky
3:15
header. So if you want to go with a sticky header or if you want to reduce the logo size
3:21
you can do that completely or you can actually get rid of the sticky header. But I like the sticky
3:26
header because whenever we go down, we still have access to the main menu and we still have access
3:31
to all of the different options. Then we have some of the layouts and the margin options for the
3:36
header. But for me, I think the header looks good. We have our story name and then I do not have a
3:41
logo. So I'm just going to go with this one. And then we have at the top, we have a text which
3:44
says welcome to our store. Once the header is done, we can move on to the next section, which
3:50
is the image banner. Now, image banner is the first thing that my visitors and my customers will
3:55
see. So we need to edit it well. First of all, in image banner, we need to upload an image. We can
4:01
go with two images or one. I will go with one and I'll just click on select image. So this is where
4:07
you upload your media. You will upload your files from your computer and you can also use some of
4:13
the free images available on Shopify. What I'll do is I'll quickly upload some files and we'll use
4:18
them on our website. So I have uploaded my image here because we have an accessory store. So this
4:24
actually represents our brand. We have this shirt. So I have added this image, the first banner image
4:29
for my store and it looks pretty good. Now I can actually customize the image a little bit. If I
4:34
want to add another image, we can do that. We have the layout capacity banner. It looks pretty good
4:39
and we also have the it is centered positioned. So I'll go back now to the image banner and in
4:45
image banner we have other blocks too. We have the text. Now in my text, what I'll do is I'll change
4:51
the heading and add the name of my store like so and it will be shown here. The heading size is
4:58
going to be large. Now I can move on to the details. Now we have details here, which is going to be a
5:04
tagline. So I'll quickly add the tagline on under my store name. Okay so this is our tagline that I
5:12
have added. Now we have a button. So you click on the button here and it says shop all or what I can
5:19
go for is I can add buy now whatever text you want to click here. If you want to go with such text
5:25
you will add it right here. The first link in the button, what happens is it's going to be the link
5:30
to all my products because this is the banner image. This is the first thing. If somebody clicks
5:35
on shop all, they will be driven to my product page that I have. So that is why we'll go with the link
5:40
here. But you can change the link if you want to. If you want to add another link, you can do that
5:45
freely. Then we have some of the other button labels that we can add. But for now, I think the
5:50
image banner looks good. Now we can move on to the next section, which is going to be the featured
5:54
collection. Here you will just add a collection from your products and your featured collection
5:59
will be shown here. We can add another section. So click here and we can add a collection list
6:05
rich text, image banner, slideshow, multi row, multi column. Then we have email sign up video
6:13
or more. Let's say I want to add a video in my home page. So what I will do is I'll select the
6:17
video option and a video will be added right here. Perfect. Now I can add another section if I want
6:24
to. Let's say I wanted to add an image with the text so I can do that. You select it and it's added
6:30
right here onto your store. This is how you add a section and at the bottom we have our footer
6:35
So the footer looks pretty simple. Within my footer too, what I can do is I can change the
6:40
background, we can change the headings, we can add our social media links, we can add our country and
6:46
region selector, language selector, payment method selector. So you can add them right here in your
6:51
footer. So at the top now it's actually really easy to customize. As I showed you, you just select
6:56
any of the sections and then you can change the text, you can change the alignments, you can add
7:01
links, you can add, you know, photos and videos, anything you want to. So it's pretty much easy now
7:06
You will change the page now. You'll go to your collections page, you can go to your blog page and
7:11
you can customize it really easily by just selecting any of the section and then editing
7:16
out the heading and the padding, everything. So if you want to change the theme and if you want to
7:20
design your website professionally, you want to keep in mind that your logo, your colors, your
7:26
typography aligns with your brand. So you can go to the typography option here and you can change
7:32
the font if you're not satisfied with it. Click on the change option and you can select the main font
7:38
for the headings and for the body text too. So let's say I didn't want to go for this simple theme
7:44
Instead, I wanted to go with something like this. We have a movie here, so I'll select that one
7:50
and my, you know, font right here on my store will be changed. So you select it and you can see this
7:55
is what it looks like. Okay, I can scroll down to check out others too. Let's say I wanted to go with
8:01
this one. So you can see it will change the text and this way you will be able to customize the
8:08
font. Just click on select and that font will be selected for your store. Similarly, we'll be able
8:15
to customize the buttons on our website. We'll be able to customize the media. Of course, upload all
8:21
the photos and videos. We can customize the icons, the badges, brand information, social media icons
8:28
everything can be customized and edited with our, you know, website we're creating on Shopify and
8:34
it also depends on your theme that you have selected that how your website will look like
8:39
and what are the different things you can customize or not. So you can see this is how I will change
8:44
the pages now. When you're editing with Shopify, make sure to click on this save button at the top
8:49
once you do something so that all of the changes are saved. If you want to edit your website with
8:54
coding, you can click on these three dots, click on edit code and you'll be able to actually edit
9:00
everything with coding too. But this is actually a beginner's tutorial and as a complete beginner
9:04
you can even customize a very professional website by using all of these tools which is simple
9:10
Select drag and drop option that we can use. So this is how you will customize your website. Once
9:15
it's done, you can get a desktop or a mobile preview of your store. You can work on it as
9:21
you create your store and add more and more products and this way you will have a professional
9:25
store at the end. Now we can go back to the customization options here and here we also have
9:30
pages, navigation and preferences for our online store that we have on Shopify. Customize it
9:36
completely and at the end it will look something like this and you can see it's a very professional
9:41
looking website that we can create with Shopify. So yeah guys, I hope that I was a big help and
9:46
now you know how to get started with Shopify and get started with your own store and design it
