Summary


There are lots of WooCommerce-compatible themes on the market. We've seen that working with a theme isn't difficult as long as you take the time to read the documentation and get to know your theme. The exact way of working may differ from theme to theme though, especially for premium themes.

The Storefront theme is giving us a good and solid base, and even without changing code, we can already reach a good-looking result.

In the next chapter, we'll have a closer look at the ability to modify the code of the Storefront theme.
