Our take
Storefront is the safe, official choice for a WooCommerce store: it is built by the WooCommerce team, so compatibility is never a question. The design is plain and updates are infrequent, so most shops either customize it with a child theme or pick a more modern shop theme such as Botiga or Blocksy.

About this theme
Storefront is the theme made by the WooCommerce developers themselves. It integrates closely with WooCommerce and with many popular WooCommerce extensions, so product pages, the cart and the checkout work as intended without extra fixes.
Design and customization
The theme offers a few layout and color options, several widget areas and a responsive design. Its strength is the clean code base: developers often use Storefront as a parent theme and build a custom shop design in a child theme.

- Built and maintained by Automattic
- Tight integration with WooCommerce
- Good starting point for a child theme
