As you can see, you can easily add a new product and pace it right where you expect it to be. The instruction shows how you can create the “special” product section. Overall, this platform is super easy and user-friendly, so you don’t need to be tech-savvy to manage your online store.

Shopify provides you with all the necessary tools, but you need to pay attention to your web page and make it look attractive. Your page design influences customers’ behavior. If your website looks modern and it works perfectly (it loads all the elements fast and a visitor can find the product or the service they need) – the number of potential clients will increase. However, your website may become difficult to manage, especially if you have many plugins and add-ons installed.

You also may consider getting a free template and test it. There are many of them – for all kinds of products.
