The Best FREE Shopify Themes?

If you're choosing between Shopify Themes on the official theme store, you might be wasting your time... because they are in fact the same theme.

I'm talking about Dawn, Sense, Crave, Taste, Ride, Craft, Studio, Origin, Publisher, Refresh, Spotlight, and Colorblock.

These themes have:
- Exactly the same code
- Exactly the same settings that you can customize
- Exactly the same sections and blocks available.

My recommendation? Choose the one that's closest to your branding and the aesthetic you are going for. But don't overthink it.

And if you're thinking of switching from Dawn to another free theme - there is no point.

After all, it takes less than an hour to make any of these Shopify themes look exactly like any of the other free themes.

I don't usually comment and I don't think you'll ever notice this comment but trust me, I am thankful for you from the deepest part of my heart. In a world full of people adding to our stress as beginners, we needed someone like you who is genuinely trying to help and not profit from the stress and add to it. Thank you so much friend!! ❤

[bethhansen]

Thanks! I was trying to decide if Dawn was the best one to start with. 😄

[victorportes]

best video I ever seen about this topic. Thanks bro!

[kLn]

This is something I have noticed long time back, but I was not so sure about it, though a bit skeptical. nice you talked about it.

[Bajjah]

This made me decide to build out the Dawn theme a bit more and I'm surprised how nice you can really make it.

[JamilaCatabay-xflf]

Thank you for this video. Can you please show us how to code personalization options for print on demand shopify store? For example, how do we add a section where the customers can add their own names, special messages, or upload their own picture for print on demand products. Thanks

[dwisut]

Would you make a video to add a shipping calculator (estimate) on cart page. Many thanks.

[User-pece]

For the trust badges, I would like to know how to keep the icons centered under the add to cart button when adjusting the desktop media width between small, medium and large. Can you please advise on how to make the change?

I am still running Debut theme - should I leave that on go to e.g. Dawn? or just stick with Debut.

Firstly, I want to thank you for such helpful content with in-depth explanations about Shopify. I'm so tired of seeing these shopify dropshipping bros make shopify "tutorials" that are actually glorified product reviews so they can plug their affiliate link. What a breath of fresh air! You just made a new subscriber out of me. Secondly, you mentioned we can install an official premium theme, tweak the design and try it out first. I was wondering if you don't have money to purchase an official premium theme right away, but you do want to design it for when you are ready, but use a free theme in the meantime, if I were to uninstall the premium theme to put in the free theme while I save money, would the changes I made to the premium theme be saved until I decide to reinstall it and pay for it?

[linnandersson]

Love your videos!! I just have a question... I use the dawn theme and when I add a multicolumn or photo with text, the text box has kind of a shadow to it and I can't figure out how to remove it. Anyone has an idea?

Hei, I saw you video about Personalized Gift Card image by e-mail notification.

Now.. my concern is about variables.
I want to add 5 different design, for San Valentine, and add a variable that use different image design to send by e-mail but also that show up in the balance gift card page, according to the product that was bought by the sender.
I'm not sure if I made myself clear...

When someone by a gift card product as a gift, with a specific design, the recipient must receive by e-mail, that specific design, and see it also when they check the balance.

My question so, is.. where should I look for this? Any idea?
I will struggle with the AI to implement the variables, but I need to know where to find the coding file related to the gift card product selection.

im trying to build a coffee store is it advisable to stick with premium theme provided by shopify

[amine-ammari]

Love the video! 😄
The hook, pacing, b-roll, explanations ALL perfect.
I think Shopify created all these Dawn duplicate because they knew users won't be able to use Dawn at its full potential.

[CandyIL]

Can you make a video on adding hotspot section on dawn?
