When you start selling your handmade products online, style is everything. You want your products to shine on the page, compelling your customers to buy them, but you also want to make sure that your website is just as well-designed, enticing visitors to stay awhile, take in everything you have on offer, and become regular customers.
With WordPress and WooCommerce, it’s easy to find a theme that works perfectly with your products, as well as install it and make it work well for you. Here are five that we found that’ll work great for any crafty shop.

How do I use a child theme?
Child themes are a great way to get the functionality of a tried-and-true theme with additional customisation that makes your site all your own. To use a child theme, you’ll need to install the original theme and the child theme. Then activate the child theme on your site.
