The Skeleton theme is a minimal, carefully structured Shopify theme designed to help you quickly get started. Designed with modularity, maintainability, and Shopify's best practices in mind.
Themes shape the online store experience for merchants and their customers. Build fast, flexible themes at scale using Liquid, Shopify's theme templating language, along with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON.
Shopify themes are a package of template files, building blocks, and supporting assets. Use these building blocks to create modular, customizable themes.
The Liquid templating language is the backbone of Shopify themes, and is used to load dynamic content on storefronts. Extend Liquid objects to store and present custom data using metafields.
To optimize your theme development experience, Shopify has established a set of best practices that you can refer to when developing your theme and setting up your toolchains and processes.
