Imperial

Shopify theme by Crown Studio

Desert leans into a high-end, luxury aesthetic that suits jewelry, food and drink, and clothing retailers. The Shopify theme's toolkit spans image hotspots, before/after sliders, and rollover zoom, alongside a slide-out sticky cart with pre-order and gift-wrapping options, plus mega menus and swatch filters for navigation.

This theme can be used for e commerce as well as websites you want without the buying functionality. I have used it recently to create just a simple showroom website. The staff are very helpful and quick at replying.

If, like me, you spend days and weeks searching for the perfect theme and keep getting disappointed by every option you try, take a look at Desert. My store, odddept.store, runs on this theme, and I’m very happy with it. I needed a few customizations, and support handled everything quickly. Whenever I submitted an issue in the evening, I usually had a solution by the next morning. Great support!
