Choose a Theme
The theme you choose will depend on your budget, niche, and the functionality you'll need to get your business off to a great start. Look at your goals over the next year to five years and pick the theme that will get you through the launch and start up phase of your business.
Whether you get a free or paid theme, you should purchase your theme from a reputable source. I would suggest the Shopify theme store as the best source. If you decide to venture out to other sources, be sure you know the kind of support offered in the event that you have issues.
Paid themes offer more design options, advanced features (like product filtering and mega menus), and better responsiveness across different devices. They often include dedicated support and regular updates. They may also require a learning curve to utilize all the customization options, and involve an upfront cost. Some paid themes may not look significantly different from free themes, but they should offer more functionality.
