I was inspired last week and decided to build a WordPress theme for WooCommerce. It’s the first time I’ve ever created an eCommerce theme and I decided to build it around WooCommerce after testing out a few different plugins.

I’ll be submitting a free basic version in the next few days to WordPress.org so everyone can play around with it. For now, if anyone purchases the theme and has any constructive criticism, please let me know in the comments below. It’s my first WordPress theme for WooCommerce so I’m sure there are many things that I could improve upon.
