The Spiffy Theme Guide

Spiffy Stores use a templating system that incorporates special "liquid" tags that make the dynamic content appear in the templates. All templates use standard HTML & CSS for the layout, and can be opened in any program designed for editing or creating web pages.

A "Theme" is simply all of these HTML & CSS templates along with their images all zipped up in a zip file.

To create your own theme, it's a LOT easier to choose a theme from the theme gallery that's closest to the design you want to achieve, apply it to your site, then download it.

Themes are made up of the following templates:

- "Theme.liquid" template file that controls the look of your entire site. - "Index.liquid" template controls the look and content on your home page - "Collection.liquid" template controls the layout of your collection pages - "Blog.liquid" coltrols the layout of your blog pages - "Cart.liquid" coltrols the look of your shopping cart page - "Product.liquid" controls the layout of your product pages - "Page.liquid" controls the layout of all "pages" that aren't controlled by other templates
