Contour: a free Shopify theme for freelance developers

Install it

What you can change in the theme editor

Click Customize and the home page opens as 7 sections: Contour hero, Contour approach, Contour work, Contour services, Contour process, Contour notes and Contour contact. The parts that repeat are blocks (Case in Contour work, Service in Contour services, Step in Contour process and Note (no blog) in Contour notes), so you add, remove and reorder them without touching code. The product and collection pages have their own sections with blocks as well.

Theme settings covers the logo and favicon, colours, fonts, page width and corner radius, the cart note, product cards and social links. The Formgong group takes the access key.

What is in the zip

The zip has 75 files and weighs 218 KB, in the standard Shopify layout. The design lives in sections/ (22 files: the home page sections above, the header and footer, and one for each store page) and in assets/, which holds the CSS and JavaScript and the Geist and Geist Mono font files, so the store makes no calls to Google Fonts. snippets/ adds 20 small pieces for product cards, prices, filters and cart lines.

templates/ has one file per page type, 13 in all, from the home page to the password page and the gift card. layout/theme.liquid wraps every page, and config/settings_schema.json defines the Theme settings groups.

Limits on Shopify

Shopify installs the theme alone. Your products, menus and pages stay where they are, and the zip carries no demo photos, so the sections show placeholders until you pick your own images. Contour runs on any Shopify plan that includes the online store.
