🛍 Bootstrap Shopify Theme

A free Shopify Theme built with Bootstrap, BEM, Liquid, Sass, ESNext, Theme Tools, ... and Webpack.

Experience

When I started building this Shopify theme, I thought it would be simple. But as I got deeper, I realized there was more to it.

I build themes from scratch, using Bootstrap to create a clean, user-friendly interface. I follow the BEM Methodology, which helps keep my code minimal and reusable.

I work with Liquid, SASS, ESNext to keep the theme modern and flexible. When problems arise, Shopify Theme Scripts help me solve them faster. I also use Shopify Metafield to add extra details where needed.

For visuals, I rely on Swiper to create smooth, touch-friendly sliders and CSS Media Queries to ensure a responsive, mobile-first design.

To streamline development, I use the Shopify Theme CLI for deployment and Webpack Encore to bundle assets. PostCSS and CoreJS help keep the theme compatible with older browsers.

And of course, I follow best practices with Shopify Theme Check, ESlint, Stylelint, Prettier—because clean code makes everything easier.

It’s a process. A learning curve. But in the end, it’s about crafting themes that work beautifully—for both the store owner and the customer.
