In short: Yalla Souk offers 10 themes so far (Sakai, Meridian, Atreus, Marea, Sandbar, Kestrel, Bracken, Velours, Riad, Sève), with more on the way, all included in the free store. Each one changes the layout, the typography and the shape of the buttons; the colours stay yours. Every feature works in every theme, in French, English and Arabic, and you can switch theme at any time.
A theme changes the structure, not your colours
Each theme changes the layout, the typography and the button style. The colours are yours: you pick a primary and a secondary colour, and the theme adapts automatically, keeping text readable.
In other words, two stores on the same theme do not look alike: each carries its own logo, its two brand colours, its photos and the section order it chose. The theme gives the style; your brand gives the identity.
