The Sydney ecommerce theme is a responsive Spiffy Stores theme which dynamically adjusts for all screen sizes and devices. Your shop will look great… whether you’re on a desktop, laptop, tablet or a smart phone.

The theme is a great base theme to start your online store with, and it is flexible enough for us to make design modifications for you to get it looking exactly how you want it. The theme also includes many new features including a customisable widescreen slideshow with captions and links, image galleries, Parallax banners, blog excerpts, and Instagram feed, integration with Mad Mimi, MailChimp or Campaign Monitor, Facebook comments, wish lists and social media integration.

== Getting started - Before you start to customise your theme ==

==== 1. Create your collections ====

You will find that it's difficult to customise your store and it's menus until you have created some collections for your products. Collections are a way to organise your products by grouping them into categories. You can base these categories on similar product criteria, prices, sizes, styles – it's up to you! You create your collections in the "Collections" section of your store's Toolbox.

==== 2. Add your collections to your top menu ====

Once you have created your collections, you will need to add them to your store's menus in the "Store menus" section of your Toolbox. If you don't do this, your collections will go unseen by customers visiting your store. By adding a link to your new collections in your store’s top menu, you’ll make the collection visible, and give your visitors easy access to all the great products you've added to it.

==== 3. Add a few products to your store ====

The next step is to get a few products set up in your store. Trying to modify an empty store means that you can't preview many of the features that are built in to the theme.  Make sure you add your products to one of the collections that you have created.  If you don't, they won't show up in your store.

You'll also need to add products to your ''Home Page'' collection for them to show up on your home page.

Once you have completed these three main steps, you can then move on to setting up your theme.
