While there are many ecommerce platforms to choose from, one of the most popular one is Builderfly. Find out how to set up a store using a Builderfly theme.
Starting an online store is a great way to expand the market for your current physical store or simply launch a business without the high cost of a brick and mortar store. What’s more, it’s not as hard as it once was. Rather than hiring a developer to program a custom platform for you, you can choose from dozens of available ecommerce platforms and get your store up and running in a matter of hours.
While there are plenty of ecommerce platforms to choose from, one of the most popular ones is Builderfly. In this post, we’ll show you how to set up a store using a premade Builderfly theme.
A great feature of Builderfly is the sheer number of Builderfly themes that are available. They’re also easy to customize and most of them even allow you to import demo content with a single click so all you’ve got to do is replace it with your content, rather than including that segment from scratch.
How to Install a Builderfly Theme
Now let’s cover how to choose and install a theme for your store.
Choose a Theme For Your Store
If you head over to Builderfly Store > Themes > Buy More Themes, you’ll notice that Builderfly offers its themes that you can install. While they all boast appealing and responsive designs, the number of Builderfly themes is rather limited.
Choosing a Builderfly theme isn’t an easy task. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a theme that will help you make the decision process easier:
Attractive design. The theme you choose should look appealing as well as be appropriate for the type of products you sell and the intended audience. If you can’t find a theme specifically for your niche, consider using a multi-purpose theme that’s suitable for a variety of products.
Regular updates and support. Make sure you pick a theme that’s well-supported and comes with regular updates. Doing so allows you to contact the support team should you ever need help as well as ensure that your theme is compatible with Builderfly updates.
Features. Don’t ignore features about themes. Choosing for a theme that has built-in widgets, the ability to display items on sale or utilize a mega menu decreases the chances of missing out on functionality that can help increase your conversion rates.
Responsive design and fast loading time. With an increase in mobile usage and shopping trends, it’s crucial that your theme is not only responsive but also loads quickly so you don’t lose customers who are visiting your store on a mobile device.
Once you’ve found a theme you like, all you’ve got to do is to click on the “Preview” button to see how it will look at your store. Once you find out that it’s perfect for your online store, then you can simply go ahead and implement it.
