Roadie is a simple, minimal design combined with multiple layout options, making it one of our most versatile templates.

Who is this template for?

While musicians inspired the Roadie template, it is suitable for a wide range of creators. Its diverse layouts can accommodate various types of merchandise.

Features

  • Responsive design: Optimized for viewing on any mobile or desktop device.

  • Banner display: Easily set an announcement message that will be prominently displayed at the top of every page.

  • Logo display: Versatile desktop layouts that can accommodate logos of all shapes and sizes.

  • Desktop layouts: Customize your desktop layout as a fixed or full-width format, catering to different screen sizes.

  • Adjustable navigation: Flexibly choose to showcase your desktop navigation as a header or a sidebar.

  • Brand image upload: Promote promotions and sales with the Promo image upload feature, along with the ability to upload a repeating background.

  • Versatile product layout: Customize your product list display as a grid or masonry layout for a visually appealing presentation.

  • Product status display: Highlight the product status (Active, Coming Soon, or Sold Out) with badge options such as a circle, bar, or inline display.

  • Product image zoom: Allow customers to preview finer product details with the image zoom feature.

  • Expanded product sorting: Enhanced product sorting options make it easier for customers to find what they're looking for.

  • Product quickview: Quick view functionality enables customers to quickly add products to their cart directly from the home or product pages.

  • Social Media integrations: Seamlessly connect with your audience by including links to your social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok) in the footer section.

Tips

  • Use the announcement text or promo image feature to promote a discount or special offer to customers.

  • Upload high-resolution images for promo and product images, especially if you're using the full-width layout. We'll resize them to ensure they look great in your store.

  • Choose wider landscape-oriented pictures for the promo image to prevent your product images from being pushed too far down the page.

  • Navigation above the header layout is best with 4 or fewer categories and/or custom pages.

  • Keep customers in the loop when updating your shop by enabling social links on the maintenance page.
