Now that you have chosen a theme that defines the basic look and feel of your online store, you can customize it to suit your brand experience.
You can use the theme editor to customize your theme content and settings from your Shopify admin. The theme editor includes a theme preview and a sidebar or menu that you can use to make changes to your theme settings, and to add, remove, edit, and rearrange content.
Always have in mind that different themes have different sections and settings available. If there’s some feature, tool, or layout on your current theme that doesn’t work exactly how you want it to, we can always help you with some coding to personalize the perfect theme for your business.

Before you customize your theme, here are a few recommendations:
You can edit your theme to customize your content, layout, typography, and colors. All of these customization options will appear on the theme editor.
The theme editor displays a tree view of all the content in the sidebar. You can click on any section or block to view its settings.
The preview inspector, on the other hand, is a feature of the theme editor. It allows you to navigate to sections and blocks from the preview window and find the corresponding settings faster and more intuitively.
You can reorder, hide, or delete sections and blocks right from your preview window.
This feature displays two different borders around the sections and blocks:
Clicking on any part of your website in the preview window loads the corresponding settings in your sidebar, where you can make any changes required.
Also, consider that you can add sections and blocks to your theme directly from the preview window while using the preview inspector:
Remember you can move, hide, or delete sections and blocks from your theme editor with the preview inspector:
In the list of sections and blocks, all of the blocks for the sections on a page are shown by default. You can:
You can access all of your theme's templates from the page selector in the top bar of the theme editor. It’s important to know if you’re using an Online Store 2.0 theme, because then you can also create a new template directly from the page selector by clicking the New template option, which is not available for themes that are not 2.0 themes.

Most customers don’t have time to wait for online stores to load. That’s why optimizing your online store speed is essential.
Here are a few tips on maximizing your store’s speed to keep your customers coming back for more.
Now that you own a Shopify store, you might have noticed that there are some functionalities missing from your theme, and that Shopify’s system isn’t covering. That’s because each business has its own particular necessities, and those are simply too wide to be fully covered by Shopify, specifically when each industry is growing and expanding to reach new and more complex needs.
Here’s where apps come in handy. Shopify has made available an app store that works specifically for every Shopify store created. In this place, you’ll find a wide range of apps to cover most of your particular needs, with a huge range of apps by category that will match your budget and expectations.
