SHOPIFY has many designed themes, both free or paid, so you can customize the theme according to your request. You can use a theme editor to adjust the color screams, fonts, layouts, headers, footers, etc.

This time, from the viewpoint of the designer, I would like to summarize SHOPIFY's theme and customizability!
