Free Prestashop theme: 10 e-commerce themes to consider in 2021

The theme is a particularly important element of your Prestashop site, since it will determine how the store is displayed and what the user sees.
It must be beautiful (if possible), and above all match the image you want to give your e-commerce site.
Books, computer hardware, clothing and household appliances are not presented in the same way.
If you’re not in a position to develop a custom theme yourself, or don’t have the budget to do so, you can turn to a free theme.
There are hundreds to choose from, but finding the right one is probably the hardest part.

Using a free Prestashop theme

Although Prestashop is free, it is often necessary to purchase a theme or modules in order to integrate all the features you may need.
While it can be interesting to buy a theme, especially as some are very inexpensive, to get additional functionality, it’s often possible to get by with a free theme.
The disadvantage of some free Prestashop themes is that they don’t come with many built-in features.
So before you choose a free theme for your Prestashop store, make sure it contains everything you’ll need.
It may also be worth looking at how it was coded.
Indeed, if the theme you’re using hasn’t been coded according to the rules of the art (HTML and CSS structure in particular), your site may end up being penalized in terms of SEO.
Also check that the theme you’re interested in is regularly updated by its creator(s).
If it hasn’t been updated for a long time, don’t bother.
The theme in its current version could very well contain security flaws that have not been corrected.
A serious Prestashop theme, even a free one, will have regular updates to incorporate the latest security patches.
