I would like to attempt to create a site similar in looks to this site that
was created with store front and woo commerce.
Is this possible without too much experience?
Thanks!
Joe
Hi there,
We would like to think that anything is possible with GP- However, it will definitely take quite some custom coding to replicate the look of this site.
Let me know if there are any specific sections you are wondering about :)
Thank you Leo, I probably should settle for less... I'll play around and see what I can come up with. I need the experience.
Hi there,
couple of pointers:
1. Sidebar Category Widget will need a plugin like this as the standard woo widget isn't that flexible:

2. Other Widgets for the special products can be added using Woo Shortcodes:

3. Adding content above the shop archive ( like the slider ) or below like the notifications can be done with the Hook Element:

Most of the Woo hooks are listed in the Hook Element and here's a handy guide on where the hooks are placed:

4. Most of the layout can be achieved by activating Appearance > GeneratePress --> Woocommerce Module and then you have a bunch of settings in the Customizer > Layout > Woocommerce ( there are also controls under Color and Typograhy.
Some of the styling like box borders and shadows would require some CSS. Which we can help with.
Thank you David, awesome!
You're welcome
