I’ve reviewed quite a few free and premium themes for Shopify over the years, but the Ella Shopify theme is by far, one of my favorites. Not only is it extremely versatile, and feature-rich, but it excelled in all of the performance tests we run on themes here at Ecomm.Design.

On top of that, the Ella theme is a lot more affordable than most other premium themes. If you want to upgrade your site’s appearance and performance for less than $100, this could be the theme for you. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering using this theme for your store.

I’ve used both Shopify and Webflow for building ecommerce stores. I’ve worked on small niche shops, client websites, and brand redesigns across different platforms. And if you’re wondering which one is “better,” the answer isn’t simple.

It depends on what you’re building, how fast you want to launch, how much control you need, and what kind of team you have behind you.

So in this post, I’m breaking down the real differences.

From SEO to AI, design to scalability — here’s the head-to-head comparison between Shopify and Webflow based on real-world ecommerce needs.

What are BigCommerce stencil themes, and why should you be using them for your online store?

Offering a user-friendly, robust, and flexible alternative to the previous “Blueprint” framework, BigCommerce stencil themes are transforming how developers and everyday business owners design sites with BigCommerce.

The Stencil theme engine, responsible for powering BigCommerce’s Cornerstone theme, offers more features and functionality than the previous engine. Plus, it helps to ensure your site is optimized for the search engines, boosting your ranking potential.

Webflow and Tilda are two popular website building and ecommerce platforms, promising affordable, easy-to-use solutions for business owners.

So, which is best?

As one of the world’s best ecommerce platforms, Shopify gives business leaders in all industries the tools they need to establish a memorable online presence.

However, with so many incredible themes to choose from, and endless customization options, it’s often difficult to know where to start with your own store design. I joined forces with the team here at Ecomm.Design, who have spent years researching and reviewing ecommerce sites, to track down the most impressive clothing stores built with Shopify.

Looking for the best BigCommerce themes for your store? We’ve got you covered. Here are our top themes, with features and industry suitability so you can choose the right one for you.

BigCommerce themes cover all industries, with custom layouts, product galleries and checkout options to make shopping easy for any ecommerce business.

By having a solid ecommerce strategy these themes are designed to be flexible for businesses of all sizes, from small boutiques to large corporations. When choosing a theme for your store one of the key things to consider is finding a theme that matches your brand and business goals.

How much does it cost to design and build a Shopify website? Ask most people this question and they’ll direct you to a list of monthly subscription costs for the Shopify platform and tell you to work it out from there. However, the reality is that the cost of building a Shopify website is affected by many factors.

While I consider Shopify to be an excellent platform (offering fantastic value for money), there are a lot of expenses you’ll need to consider before you launch your store.

When you account for everything from domain costs, to design cost and development support, your price can range anywhere from $500 for a simple solution to $10,000+.
