Minimal 

I sell digitally manipulated photography as well as some straight photography. I have been in business since 2003 and have been through many different website platforms. Up until this year I also participated in art festivals but I've become physically unable to do the festivals so I am focusing on website and gallery sales. It is going reasonably well but I am having trouble with determining the best advertising to do and upcoming Shopify changes (Shopify 2.0 is confusing) My target market is middle class to upper middle class homeowners.

I chose the theme because it was free and simple and had what I needed. I prefer a simpler website because the images are what need to shine and my product is not impluse driven. It is something that people buy that requires thought and reflection. I like the theme because it is simple but it has some drawbacks. I have recently started with Pinterest and they want me to add an "ad to cart" trigger for Pinterest and I'm finding through research that it is not possible and minimal does not lend itself to modifications easily. I'd like to move my email subscriber box to a different part of the page and also to use my mailer lite box instead of the provided one and I can't figure out how to do that. Possibly other themes are easier to modify

It is a great theme for starting out but there is a lack of flexibility. Overall I think there should be more information on themes in general. It is very confusing the choose a theme in the first place and I didn't know what I would need when I first moved my website to Shopify.

Apparel brand to benefit dog rescues. It launched in August 2020. Currently getting very little traffic as my focus has been on my brick-and-mortar store. My focus is to update the website using the Minimal theme and build revenue.

It’s simple. Easy enough to use. There are not many options with the theme itself, but it is very easy to integrate various Shopify apps. I love that it has a very clean look and very few bells and whistles that hide the overall purpose of the site.

Pet supplies & accessories. Just started a few days ago. US market. Still trying to drive traffic to my store.

As a very starter to e-commerce, I have zero complaints with the Minimal theme. Easy to use, user-friendly instructions, neat appearance.

We are selling crafted decorative and souvenir items

The theme is simple, which is what I was looking for. I want to run my small business, not worry about coding.

We are specializing in knitwear designs and hand-dyed yarns

I like the layout and aesthetic of the theme, and I hope it makes my products stand out which was my point in building the site with the theme I chose. Hopefully, I will see more customers soon

Home and Garden. We are selling variety of household items.

I enjoy the theme I’m using very simple and looks good I didn’t have to change any colors or anything since it was nice neutral colors.

Aris Joy is a toys store that represents our family's tradition and values.

I like the theme overall, except video uploading problem. On this theme, I cannot upload videos. If that problem resolves, everything would be great.

Like I said before, as long as uploading video is possible, I would recommend to use this theme to everyone.

X.RAE.ART is an artist-owned punk rock graphic apparel and handmade accessories brand based in Cleveland, Ohio. We create statement pieces for our community to be themselves unapologetically. Target market is older teens and young adults in the alternative scene. We launched the business in 2020 and recently switched over to Shopify in August. Making more sales every month but also want to learn more about creating ads and best practices to scale our business.

Simple and easy to use, however there are some basic things that I wish I could do. I want to be able to move the button around on the website banners but have limited options. It was very difficult figuring out how to put a background texture into the theme but after several attempts I figured it out. I wish there were more and more capabilities and options with page layouts.

More options for page layout design.

I have very few products

Fine

nothing

Launched July 22, 2021 selling children’s clothing. I’ve sold 3 items to 2 customers.

Everything looks nice but it needs a better way to sort clothing by size other than tags or an entire collection for each size. That makes everything cluttered and sizing by tags aren’t put in order in the drop down menu.

I set it up myself. I don’t remember the other one I tried.

Handmade crafts, launched over 6 months ago, not going well. Need to attract the right audience. Need more traffic

I love this theme jts easy to use and has so many options .

I picked this theme so It could be laid out with minimal designs so i could keep the focus on my own designs I've created.

I'm selling men's clothes to the UK, and will expand to Germany afterwards. The website beta version was launched in the mid March 2021. Currently I'm still adding products and looking for a part time designer and a full time marketer.

What I like about this theme: simple, easy to use, a good match to my branding. What I do not like about this theme: Product page layout, Product image display function, the layout of the slideshow which is too narrow. I will have to learn and do the coding myself. I do not have a budget to recruit an expert.

This theme Minimal is very simple, easy to use and a good match to my branding. I also tried other free themes like Boundless, Simple, Supply but they were not up to my expectation due to eit

Plus Size Women's Clothing and accessories to boost confidence and empowerment in females.

Super easy to use and flows perfectly with the design and pairs great with the ambience of the products. I would recommend all buyers to picture themselves in the clothing and imagine their confidence bosting.

I chose minimal theme for the best user friendly accessibility of viewing products on my website.

To sell Christian Apparel, T-shirts, Hoodies, Sweatshirts

It is very simplistic and attractive.

I used an expert to help me set up this website. It was very minimal and easy to navigate through.

I sell exclusively cotton which my customers commonly use for Masks, bags, and clothing. I’ve recently expanded into Cotton Lycra as my group slowly transforms into clothing after Covid. I launched in September, almost mistakingly as I didn’t intend to start a true business; was just trying to get popular prints in customers hands in a timely manner for masks. A lot of these prints revolved around the quickly changing political events such as RBG & KH. I allowed this business to grow as I had a really difficult time finding prints for my Greek Letter shirts, my main craft item personally. With Covid wrapping up, I’m trying to get everything in tip-top shape before I add new fabric bases and members.

I like the theme for my purpose! I’m able to showcase my featured collection at the top, post a separate section for RTS items, and also post my individual collections below it. The one thing I really wanted to add, was just a featured product; but I was hoping to put this featured product within the collections section.. and you can’t mix the two.. you can have a row of featured products, then a row of collections, but not a mixed row. Also, I would have liked to be able to have more than 5 collections per section.. 5 is an odd number, and on mobile, it staggers the collection and leaves an empty white block. So I just use 4/5 of the collection spots per section, then add a new section.

I just recently started using this theme. I switched last week from (a different theme, but it was also basic..) because I didn’t like how the last theme had a large section at the top for m

Sweets. Launched at the start of November but had been up selling through Facebook for 4 months before. Everyone. Sales are going up every month.

It minimal, so no busyness to a customers eyes, I feel like mobile optimisation or even options to change what you see on mobile. Its good for beginners or those not looking for a in your face theme.

Had the right feel for where I wanted everything to be. I set it up myself. Didn't consider any others, as they didn't feel right.

I love the clean, simple look of this theme. It works consistently with what our needs are. I do wonder at times what other more popular themes might "buy" us but always come back to the simplicity of this theme.
