We’ll take a look at the high-end themes for this video. If these are also not suitable for your industry or your specific project, then feel free to contact the experts at eBakery. As a Shopify agency and screen design agency, we help you with both the design and technical process and create the store you want together with you.

Shopify Premium Theme #1: Empire

Our first theme is called “Empire” and is very reminiscent of a large marketplace. This already shows that this theme is really intended for a large and especially variant-rich assortment. The navigation is designed so that huge product catalogs, which are subdivided into many different categories, are also clearly presented to you. If your customers are looking for a specific product, the live search will help them. This not only works with an autosuggest function, but is an Advanced Live Search. That is, the product image is displayed directly in the search, so you can quickly and easily get to the result.

Especially suitable for large product catalogs

Quick and easy is also the Quick Buy option, which allows you to add products to the shopping cart without leaving the Collection page. In addition, on the home page itself you have an expanded view of the products. This means you can look at the product in different colors without necessarily having to go into the product detail page. In the detail pages themselves, not only text can be displayed, but also videos can be integrated in a visually appealing way. So, all in all, you can say that the Empire theme is a template for merchants with a large variety of products, who already have a lot of high-quality content for them in the form of images, collages and videos and want to showcase them in a visually high-quality way in their Shopify store.

Shopify Premium Theme #2: Turbo

However, if speed in the sense of PageSpeed Optimization plays a big role for you, which is indispensable for Google SEO, then the Out of the Sandbox Theme “Turbo” is right for you. Through a cleverly designed JavaScript and other sophisticated mechanisms in the background, this theme not only allows Google to deliver a fast PageSpeed on paper, but also noticeably your customers whether on desktop or mobile devices, everything looks super smooth. Thanks to the mega menu as navigation, which also occurs here, large product assortments can be mapped in a meaningful way. You have stylish looking variant filter menus, also an advanced live search, multiple variants for the right industry whether luxurious, sporty or fashion affine, there is the right basic framework for every case.

Shopify Premium Themes #3: Startup

Our third Shopify Premium Theme is from the same provider as our Empire Template. However, this differs greatly. Here the motto is clean and minimalist. We can already see that this is not a mega menu as navigation, but a burger menu. This means it is also more suitable for smaller product catalogs. Thus, the name is program and serves especially startups to make their way to a high-quality, but easy to implement theme as easy as possible. In the feature overview, we can see that this also puts the focus here on single, but large, high-quality meaningful images instead of many different images. The icons can also be customized, which sets you apart from other stores. In this practical example we see that it is not necessary to fall back on the burger menu, but that a classic header navigation would also be possible. A great visual design that gives us a feel for the product is at the forefront, followed by clickable product displays that are also visual, which overall appears very clean, high quality and uncluttered.

The prices

But let’s move on to the pricing component – what do you have to spend financially for these premium themes? Our Empire Theme is priced right in the middle. For a one-time $300 you will receive a high-quality theme for a wide range of products. The Startup Theme is perfect for merchants who are just starting out, but have high expectations for a consistent design. For a small range of products, the Startup Theme is available for $220. The non plus ultra with one variant for each industry for large product ranges and a performance core that also loads large data quickly is the appropriately named Turbo Theme. Here you have to pay $400, but you get a lot in return.
