Here is a dilemma: you are launching a new project from scratch and want to keep to the budget. First impressions count and you don’t want to get a bad reaction from your visitors. Your freshly-baked online store is lacking design to set you apart. Themes can help you there.
Any design is not only about beautiful colors and fonts. A savvy placement of the key elements throughout the site helps to lead a visitor from the first touchpoint to a purchase. This path should be intuitive and simple for users to follow without distraction. Expert assistance costs much.
How to raise the funds for a customized design if you aren’t even released and don’t have real revenue?
The solution is already there. Design themes are those ready-to-use solutions that soak up the best features and practices of color matching and grid-based arrangement of every website element already tailored to their use in a specific domain.
All you need is to select the one fitting the most your needs and business area.
Choose a unique design for CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor
Here is the top of the default themes of your choice.
