00:00.110 --> 00:02.540
So welcome to part two of themes.

00:02.540 --> 00:07.430
And what I want to do now is to get into more detail of how the theme editor is actually laid out.

00:07.430 --> 00:11.570
So first of all, you can probably see already that we have three main sections.

00:11.570 --> 00:15.950
We have the header, we have the template and we have the footer.

00:16.010 --> 00:22.070
So if I go back up to the header you can see there are two sections the announcement bar and the header

00:22.070 --> 00:22.760
itself.

00:22.760 --> 00:26.630
Now if I open up the announcement bar you can see this text here.

00:26.630 --> 00:28.220
Welcome to our store.

00:28.220 --> 00:30.620
And of course that relates to the text over here.

00:30.620 --> 00:32.030
Welcome to our store.

00:32.030 --> 00:37.370
And if I were to actually click on the text itself, it opens up another text box where it gives me

00:37.370 --> 00:39.740
the possibility to change the wording.

00:39.740 --> 00:43.010
And I could link it to any part of the store that I wished.

00:43.010 --> 00:50.330
Then coming back out of here and going to the header, if I click on this, it opens up a submenu for

00:50.330 --> 00:56.000
the header, which includes all of the parameters that I would need to change my logo and the menu.

00:56.000 --> 01:00.620
And of course, we're going to be coming back here in a moment so that we can actually add in the logo

01:00.620 --> 01:02.990
that we created just a couple of lectures ago.

01:03.230 --> 01:06.290
But right now what I'm going to do is just come back out of the header.

01:06.290 --> 01:11.930
Because if I go to this text once again, welcome to our store and hover over it, you see two icons.

01:11.930 --> 01:14.780
We have the delete icon and then we have this little I.

01:14.780 --> 01:16.760
Now I think the delete icon is pretty obvious.

01:16.760 --> 01:20.240
If I click on that it's going to completely remove that text.

01:20.240 --> 01:23.390
But if I click on the little eye here, it will simply hide it.

01:23.390 --> 01:24.770
And that's actually what I'm going to do.

01:24.770 --> 01:26.990
Because for the time being, I don't want to show.

01:26.990 --> 01:29.150
Welcome to our store at the top of my site.

01:29.150 --> 01:32.810
So I'll click on the little eye watch the right hand side as I do so.

01:32.810 --> 01:37.130
So I click on it and the text and therefore the announcement bar are now hidden.

01:37.130 --> 01:39.290
So now let's go down to the template.

01:39.290 --> 01:44.990
So you can see here underneath the image banner we have browse our latest products and buttons.

01:44.990 --> 01:47.210
And that of course relates to this text here.

01:47.210 --> 01:50.750
Browse our latest products and the button shop all below.

01:50.750 --> 01:55.520
Now of course I can also edit these if I hover over browse our latest products.

01:55.520 --> 02:00.680
I could in the same way as the announcement bar, either delete this or hide it, but if I click into

02:00.680 --> 02:03.410
it, I have the option to change the text.

02:03.410 --> 02:09.380
And then for the button if I click on buttons, here is the shop all text that I could change, and

02:09.380 --> 02:14.390
I could also change the button link to send my customer to any part of the store that I wished.

02:14.390 --> 02:20.630
And then for the image banner itself, if I actually click directly on the text, it's here that I can

02:20.630 --> 02:26.720
change all the parameters related to this section of the site, including the image itself.

02:26.720 --> 02:31.340
So it's here in a moment, we're going to add in that fantastic hero image that we created.

02:31.340 --> 02:35.630
And then finally within the template we have the feature collection.

02:35.630 --> 02:40.700
And when I click on Feature collection, it shows me this section where I could highlight or feature

02:40.700 --> 02:43.850
any particular products directly on my home page.

02:43.850 --> 02:49.550
Now, I'm not necessarily expecting you to take in all this information in detail, but what I do hope

02:49.550 --> 02:53.840
you are realizing is how simple and powerful this editor is to use.

02:53.840 --> 02:58.400
As ever, it's all point and click and you don't need any technical skills.

02:58.400 --> 03:03.110
It really is a fantastic tool to enable you to create an incredible store.

03:03.110 --> 03:07.850
Now, I'm pretty sure that you also appreciate now that all of this can be changed at any time.

03:07.850 --> 03:12.350
And with that in mind, there is one last feature that I want to show you before we actually add in

03:12.350 --> 03:14.450
the logo and the hero image.

03:14.450 --> 03:17.870
And that is this part here where it says add section.

03:17.870 --> 03:25.100
So if I click on add section, it brings up a whole load of pre-built sections that I could very, very

03:25.100 --> 03:27.110
easily add into my store.

03:27.410 --> 03:31.370
So you can see by default that it's showing the feature collection that we already have.

03:31.370 --> 03:36.320
But I could create a featured product section where it's showing only one single product.

03:36.320 --> 03:42.110
I could also have a collection list, so highlighting groups of products that naturally go together,

03:42.110 --> 03:48.380
or perhaps rich text, allowing me to create a nice, bold statement that talks directly about my brand

03:48.380 --> 03:50.540
and what it stands for, and so on.

03:50.540 --> 03:55.670
Now, I'm not going to go through all of these, but I would like to add in the image with text just

03:55.670 --> 03:57.590
to show you how this actually works.

03:57.590 --> 04:03.170
And so you can see that the image with text is basically an image of one of my products, and then some

04:03.170 --> 04:08.750
text and a button underneath that would take my customer directly to that product from the home page.

04:08.750 --> 04:14.000
So if I click on image with text, it immediately adds in the image with text section.

04:14.000 --> 04:18.530
And of course gives me the editor so I could make any changes that I want.

04:18.560 --> 04:24.140
Now we will revisit this later on in the course as we build out a really fantastic home page.

04:24.140 --> 04:28.010
But right now, all I want you to appreciate is if I come out of this.

04:28.010 --> 04:31.880
It has, of course been added to the menu within my template.

04:31.880 --> 04:38.330
So at this point, let's save all those changes and then come out of the theme editor altogether.

04:38.330 --> 04:42.410
And to do that we come up to the top left hand corner here and click on exit.

04:42.740 --> 04:48.320
Because if we now go back to the store itself, we should see the changes that we made.

04:48.320 --> 04:49.640
And in fact we made two.

04:49.670 --> 04:51.800
First of all, we hid the announcement bar.

04:51.800 --> 04:53.870
So as you can see, that's no longer showing.

04:53.870 --> 04:59.690
And then as I scroll down through the site itself, here is the image with text section that we.

04:59.810 --> 05:00.650
You just added.

05:00.650 --> 05:03.470
So everything is there as we would expect.

05:03.470 --> 05:08.630
So now let's actually go ahead and add in our logo and the hero image.

05:08.630 --> 05:13.010
So to do that go back to the admin section and themes.

05:13.010 --> 05:17.060
And of course click on the customize button to return to the theme editor.

05:17.390 --> 05:21.200
And then to add in the logo we click on header as before.

05:21.200 --> 05:25.250
And you can see here it says edit your logo in theme settings.

05:25.250 --> 05:29.870
So we click on this link Theme Settings and you can see here select image.

05:29.870 --> 05:31.580
I click on Select Image.

05:31.580 --> 05:34.730
It shows me the images that I've already stored on my site.

05:34.730 --> 05:36.920
And of course one of those is the logo.

05:36.920 --> 05:42.890
So I select the logo, I click on done and it adds the logo to my store.

05:42.890 --> 05:44.030
And I hope you would agree.

05:44.030 --> 05:45.500
That looks pretty cool.

05:45.500 --> 05:48.410
Now I might want to make it slightly bigger.

05:48.410 --> 05:53.690
It is a little bit small perhaps, and in order to do that I can just change the logo width.

05:53.690 --> 05:57.260
So let me make it a little bit bigger and there we go.

05:57.290 --> 06:00.050
I think that looks absolutely perfect.

06:00.320 --> 06:03.770
And so with that done now let's add in the hero image.

06:03.770 --> 06:07.370
So to do that the first thing we need to do is to go back to the sections.

06:07.370 --> 06:10.190
So come up here to the top left where you see sections.

06:10.190 --> 06:16.640
Click on this and then come down as I'm sure you remember to the image banner I click on Image Banner

06:16.640 --> 06:19.880
and it's here the first image that I want to replace.

06:19.880 --> 06:21.920
So I click on Select image.

06:21.920 --> 06:24.650
And this time of course I'll select the hero image.

06:24.650 --> 06:29.090
I click on done and my store is instantly transformed.

06:29.090 --> 06:33.200
Suddenly it's really starting to have a professional look and feel.

06:33.200 --> 06:36.530
So as before, let's check how this actually looks on the site.

06:36.530 --> 06:38.990
So we'll come over here and click on save.

06:39.020 --> 06:44.210
I'll come out of the theme editor over to my store and here we go.

06:44.210 --> 06:49.910
And I hope you would agree that really is a dramatic change in really just a few clicks.

06:50.180 --> 06:55.430
And then just for completeness, if I come down and click on the Shop All button, it takes you to a

06:55.430 --> 06:59.240
page where you'll be displaying all of your fantastic products.

06:59.240 --> 07:02.930
Now, of course, at the moment you don't have any products, but guess what?

07:02.930 --> 07:08.900
In just a few lectures time, I'm going to be showing you how to add best selling products to your store

07:08.930 --> 07:10.400
that will sell.

07:10.580 --> 07:15.860
So I really hope that these last two lectures have started to give you an appreciation of the incredible

07:15.860 --> 07:22.790
power of themes, and more importantly, how amazingly easy they are to use in order to create a fantastic

07:22.790 --> 07:23.720
looking store.

07:23.720 --> 07:28.100
Now, it's also at this point that I want to say, and you've probably figured this out already, this

07:28.100 --> 07:33.590
course isn't about me building the absolutely perfect store that you can then go ahead and copy.

07:33.590 --> 07:37.730
But what I am doing is giving you all the tools to succeed.

07:37.730 --> 07:44.060
I strongly believe that anybody can build out a fantastic business with Shopify, and you are no exception.

07:44.060 --> 07:48.740
And to help you on your journey, I talked before about how I offer free mentorship.

07:48.740 --> 07:53.630
Well, in the next lecture, I'm going to show you how you can get in contact with me should you need

07:53.630 --> 07:55.490
any help along the way.
