If you are finding it difficult to choose between Magento<\/a> and Shopify<\/a>, don\u2019t worry as you are not alone. Both these brands are two of the most famous and widely accepted e-commerce platforms.<\/p>\n

Shopify is capable of simplifying the process of creating online stores of business whether it is a startup or a high-volume business. It works on the model of a monthly fee.<\/p>\n

Layout<\/h3>\n

The theme of the store acts as a base for the website store as this is what the consumers first see when they open the site and so the theme template needs to be selected accordingly to create a good impression and build up trust.<\/p>\n

Shopify has a range of 10 free and 64 premium themes and all of its themes are mobile responsive and so it will look great on both devices. Shopify themes offer a lot of customization options such as new pages, color schemes, organizing elements, and much more, without any coding knowledge.<\/p>\n
