When you don’t know what to look out for, it’s easier to focus on surface level design. But finding the right template is a balance between design and functionality; many will have an attractive look, but they may be lacking key functions that your ecommerce store could benefit from.

Here are some key considerations that will help you find the best BigCommerce template:

• Your business type: ecommerce stores selling artwork will look for a wholly different theme than those selling kids toys or tech products. Your business type will inform the key features your template will need, such as full screen hero images or subscription capabilities. Furthermore, design choices like typography, color schemes, and white space will all have an impact on how your business is perceived. When you’re browsing themes, think about the feeling the design evokes and whether it matches your business.
• What you’re selling: BigCommerce’s themes are categorized into industry for a reason – each store has different priorities and pages to include. For example, if you’re selling handmade items, product pages should have plenty of customization options.
• The size of your inventory: if you’ve got a large inventory, find a page with clear, organized navigation menus, product filtering, and a search box. For smaller catalogs, you should look out for carousels and featured images that make your products shine. Many BigCommerce themes state the inventory size they are optimized for in the theme features!
• Social media integrations: some themes allow you to pull your recent social media posts onto your website, which is great if your business has a strong online presence!

Giving your BigCommerce store that well deserved revamp couldn’t be easier, whether you’ve picked one of the themes above or want to browse for yourself. The two simple steps can be completed in a few minutes:

1. Download Your New Theme

From your BigCommerce admin, select the “Storefront” tab in the left navigation menu, then select “Theme Marketplace.” This is where you can browse themes that are appropriate for your site.

When you find the theme you want, you need to save it to your theme library. For free themes, select the “Add Theme” button. For paid ones, select “Purchase Theme” and complete the purchase. 

2. Add Your New Theme To Your Storefront

Then, you can select “Apply Theme Now” for the theme to be instantly added to your store. You’ll be taken back to your dashboard, and from there, you can select “Customize” to make adjustments to your website in the page builder.

We’ve highlighted the 15 best BigCommerce themes for the most popular industries – there are many more to choose from in BigCommerce’s theme library. We compiled these themes to provide you with inspiration, and to help you think about the styles and features that you’d like for your store.

Remember that each of these themes includes around four different styles, and are totally customizable – so you can personalize your template to match your unique brand. The colors and styles aren’t set in stone, so don’t be put off if you don’t like a particular palette!

We strongly recommend previewing a few themes before deciding on one. If you already have a  BigCommerce store, there’s even a handy feature where you can preview each theme with your store. This is invaluable for seeing how your products will look in a new style.
