This is a great theme to start with. I honestly can't wait to have the 'image banner' become a 'media banner' not limited to still images. I need to be able to insert a video background. We are in 2023 goddamnit 🤞. Do that change please and it will become the best theme ever 😍.
Hey there! We definitely get this request a lot. The reason it's not a built in feature is because it's usually not recommended to have a video as the first thing on the homepage. This is due to connection quality of different users - slower connections won't load video media as well and images are more reliable. You don't want your first impression to be affected by the user's internet speed!
I really love this theme, But I'm a bit confused about how to use the customized tools. When I add a product to my list, I want the description on the right, not scrolling all the way to the bottom of the product. Also adding the measurement, etc icons. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi! Thank you for the feedback. There is a setting within version 11 and 12 of Craft where you can change which side the description is on. Also you are able to use the Collapsible Row block to add icons and extra content without needing to scroll down! We can take a closer look and walk you through this if you contact our Support here (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA).
I really love using this them for my jewelry label Melinawaty.com. Thank you Shopify for providing such a beautiful free theme <3
