Shopify free themes

1. Dawn

Many merchants have been using Dawn for a while. It's a simple theme that is easy to customize and has a lot of features.

Over the years, some merchants have made a lot of changes, adding a lot of custom code.

2. Horizon

Horizon is a new theme that is designed to be a more modern theme. It still lacks some of the basic features but moving forward Shopify will be maintaining it and adding new features.

2.1. Features

• Theme Blocks: Rather than building sections again and again, you can use Theme Blocks that are present in several pages in you stores. A good example is the contact form. You can use the same contact form in the footer, the product page, the cart page, the checkout page, etc.
• AI blocks: Shopify has integrated AI blocks that can be used to add content to your store. You just need to type a prompt and the AI will generate the content for you. While it may not be able to generate complex sections, it's great for adding some custom content to your store. For example, you can use it to add a custom banner to your store.

3. Dawn vs Horizon

Dawn is a simple theme that is easy to customize and has a lot of features. A lot of developers are familiar with it as well so it's a good option if you need to hire a developer to help you with your store.

Horizon is going to be the future of Shopify themes. Over time, more features will be added to it and it will be used as a base for new custom themes.
