Ember — Three Storefronts in One BigCommerce Theme: Home, Fashion & Food
Ember is a premium BigCommerce Stencil theme with three variations that differ in layout, not only in colour. Home uses the Classic layout with framed product cards and a split hero, Fashion uses the Editorial layout with a centred masthead, full-bleed hero and three-across photography and opens in dark mode, and Food uses the Market layout with a search-first header, round category tiles, product shelves and recipe stories.
Each variation has its own live demo store, its own fonts and palette, and a shopper-facing dark mode — and every brand colour, light and dark, is a Theme Styles setting you can preview live in Page Builder.
Key Features
