If your not no designer by nature but still want a nice store then this theme is for you! I had Shopify experts assume that I have a team helping me with my store when they viewed it and to me that is a huge compliment. This theme makes building a store so easy. It has advance features and its so easy to use. Also their dev team are so responsive and talented and fix any issues/concerns you have.
