Being the best eCommerce theme is a big shoe to fill but I am serious when I say that the new Boutique theme from Elegant themes is it. ( Yes I know I said shoe and not shoes) I am shocked at how amazing it is and if you are already a member of the site ($39 a year), then it is free for you!
I recently published an article about Elegant themes vs Thesis, however in this situation this Boutique WordPress theme wins hands down! You would not even attempt to recreate this theme using Thesis.
I actually hate normal boring looking eCommerce sites as they all look the same but just have different products, if we are lucky.
Enter the Boutique Ecommerce theme from Elegant themes. This is definitely a theme that is moving with the times.
Meet the best Ecommerce theme:
Features that make this the Best eCommerce Theme
Alternate blog layout
This is a huge plus for this theme. Obviously an Ecommerce site has product pages but this theme lets you run a separate blog to add content to…
You are probably thinking “SO”? Well this is great for SEO. Ecommerce sites usually lack content for the search engines but a blog running in the background will definitely put you on the radar.
How do I know this you ask? Well this is how I make mini sites. They are usually 5 pages at the most, with an aim to sell one product. The best mini sites I have are getting content posted to an article section in the background. This keeps the site fresh and happening.
Easy design change -best Ecommerce theme
You can change the colors of your theme at the press aof a button. Boutique comes with various background textures along with the ability to adjust the background color. There are so many options. You can even change the font colors. All this makes it easy to customize the website the way want it.
Even the button choices are amazing!
Changing the buttons is part of the Boutique shortcodes along with a dozen other options that will seriously blow you away.
Advertising options built in
For those who find it hard to add in advertising banners, Boutique has inbuilt advertising that you can turn on and off. All you have to do is add you advertising code in.
Product pricing
There are the usual product sliders and a fantastic product page. You can see the slider and product page below.
Actual products page. Oh and I forgot to mention the star ratings included. This is absolutely the best Ecommerce theme but I think you could also use it as a Review theme.
It also has professional pricing tables included! Check out the screenshot below.
Shopping cart integration
No wonder this is the best eCommerce theme! They have literally thought of everything here. Listed below are all the shopping carts that this theme is compatible with. No more testing to see if a particular shopping cart will suit and work well with your theme, because it is already tested and proved to be working.
- wP e-commerce
- shopp
- eshop
- cart66
- simple PayPal shopping cart
Did I mention this theme will let you add Social media buttons using the Boutique shortcodes.
There is so much more to this theme, and this is why I believe this is the best Ecommerce theme I have seen so far.
Do you think I have gone overboard by naming this the best Ecommerce theme?
Hey Mitz, how do you do this “The best mini sites I have are getting content posted to an article section in the background” ?
wouldn’t that be a nice post ?

This is one of the best eCommerce themes Elegant have developed. The design is easy in the eyes and very professional. The alternate blog layout is the icing on the cake.
InReview Elegant Themes i have used before in my site it is the best one in my point of view.
Thanks Mitz for sharing the useful knowledge.

Thanks for the post.
I’m going to join Elegant Themes in the next day or two. I too like Boutique and I also like eStore, but I’m having a hard time finding an answer…Even Nick Roach couldn’t answer it.
I’m wondering how eStore, with its featured product header and merchandise boxes works with something like PopShops or GoldenCan? I’m about to join one or both of those services too, so no experience with them yet. Does anyone know if there’s a way to, using a data feed, populate those boxes directly?
Thanks
I really like the look of elegant themes. I have used simple press it was very easy to work with to customize. This e-commerce theme is really nice too.

Elegant themes has alot of really great themes! My favorite is simple press!
We worked with a WordPress shop before and it wasn’t that great. This looks a lot better! Very impressed with the layout and potential for eCommerce sellers.

WordPress would be a great help in setting a platform for online store and it also help sellers to reach the target customers. Your Ecommerce will completely backend your administration. WordPress can easily manage your sells for tangible and intangible.

It looks really pretty, thanks for sharing 🙂
eStore provides an elegant solution for those looking to sell products online. The theme is easy to configure, and offers integration options with some of the most popular (and free) ecommerce plugins, including eShop and Simple PayPal Shopping cart.
I´m liking the pricing tables too! They are looking like paying a professional designer a lot of bucks! Seems to be a real good investment if you atre planning to sell something!
