Foundry is a versatile store template with loads of customization potential.
Who is this template for?
Foundry has been specifically designed with clothing brands in mind, but can be easily adapted to accommodate any store with multiple categories and a wide range of products.
Responsive design: Optimized for seamless performance on both desktop and mobile devices.
Home page display: Full-screen welcome image with customizable welcome message and tagline displayed on top.
Category showcase: Highlight up to 10 featured categories on the Home page.
Product sharing: Share buttons for Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest on Product pages.
Logo display: Display your store's logo in the header.
Search button: Show a search button in the header for easy access.
Product name display: Option to show product names and prices on rollover or underneath the thumbnail images.
Convenient cart access: Dropdown shopping bag provides customers with a quick view of their purchases without leaving the page. Variant inventory: Choose to show or hide sold-out product variants in the Product page dropdown menus.
Social Media integration: Easily add links to your Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram profiles in the footer.
The recommended header image size is 200 x 50 pixels.
For optimal display, upload a large, high-resolution image for the Home page welcome image - it is recommended to have images around the 1000 pixel range or larger. Keep the focus of the image towards the center to ensure important details are not cropped out due to automatic scaling based on the visitor's browser size.
Maintain consistency in product image sizes to present thumbnails in a uniform grid, especially if you choose to display product details on rollover. Large, high-resolution images (around 1000 pixel range or larger) work best.
Utilize the Home page welcome message (and second tagline) to advertise promotions, tell your company's story, or simply greet your customers.
