We have been heads-down on this for a while, and it is finally ready: six storefront templates for EasyCommerce, each one a complete Joomla shop rather than a colour scheme dropped onto a stock theme. That difference is the whole point, so let me be specific about what "complete" actually means.
Every template themes the entire shopping journey. The home page, the product pages, the category listings, the cart, and the checkout all belong to the same store. You install one package, point it at your catalogue, and a customer never hits a seam where a nice storefront was bolted onto a generic layout. There is no half-finished checkout to apologise for, and nothing to stitch together yourself.
The six looks
Each template is built for a different kind of shop, with its own type, colour, and pace. They are all live right now, so open a few and click around rather than take our word for it.
Basket
Bold big-box retail. High-contrast deal energy, clear pricing, and room for a wide catalogue that sells on volume.
Forge
Industrial workshop. Monochrome, spec-led, and hard-wearing, for tools, parts, and trade supply.
Kaffa
Artisan coffee roastery. Warm paper and copper with a serif voice, made for single-origin bags and small-batch goods.
Mercantile & Co
Curated general store. Considered and editorial, built for a mixed shelf where every product has to earn its place.
Meridian Living
Home and living editorial. Calm, spacious, and photography-led, for interiors and homeware.
Pulse Supply
Streetwear. Fast and confident, with the drop-culture pace an apparel brand needs.
Product pages you actually design
This is the part we are proudest of. A product page in EasyCommerce is not a fixed slot with a photo and a buy button. You compose it from a library of 33 section types and arrange them per product.
A single-origin coffee can open with a hero, then tasting-note cards, a brew guide laid out as numbered steps, an origin story, and a short FAQ. A power tool leads with a spec table, a comparison against the model it replaces, and a diagram of how it is built. A software licence gets a pricing table, a compatibility matrix, a changelog, and a downloads block. Same builder, completely different pages, because the blocks you reach for are the ones that actually sell that specific thing.
The set covers the obvious sections (hero, statistics, feature grids, image-and-text splits, testimonials, reviews, FAQs) and the ones you only miss once they are gone: comparison and spec tables, pricing tables, bundle contents, compatibility and changelog panels, a sticky purchase bar that follows the customer down a long page, and step-by-step guides. You are never boxed into a layout that fights your product.
Restyle the whole shop without touching code
Each template ships with ready-made preset styles, and switching between them restyles the entire store in one move. Basket comes in four (blue, green, orange, red), Meridian in four (azure, copper, forest, plum), Kaffa in three, and so on: eighteen finished looks across the six before you change a single value, and each one has a light and a dark mode.
This works because the templates are token-driven. Colour, type, corner radius, spacing, and shadows all come from one small set of variables, so a preset is a swap of that set rather than a hunt through stylesheets. Want your own brand colour instead? Set it once, and the accent flows to every place the preset would have coloured.
Build the rest of your site with Studio Pages
A shop is more than product listings. You need an About page, a lookbook, a seasonal campaign, a help centre, a page that simply frames your collections. So the templates include Studio Pages, a page builder that lives right inside your Joomla administrator.
You assemble a page from thirteen blocks: hero, rich text, feature grid, stats, testimonial, FAQ, call to action, and trust bar for the storytelling, plus commerce blocks that know about your shop, a product grid pulled live from your EasyCommerce catalogue, a category band, and a featured product. There is a showcase block of linked cards (it is the block behind the very page that lists these templates) and a module position for anything else you already run.
Two things make it genuinely useful. First, every block is themed by your active template automatically, so a Studio Page in Kaffa looks like Kaffa and the same page in Pulse looks like Pulse, with no separate design pass. Second, these are real Joomla pages: clean SEF URLs, breadcrumbs, and menu items like anything else. And they move between sites. Export a page to a small file, import it into production in one click, and build a campaign on staging before it ever goes live. The page announcing these templates was built and moved exactly that way.
One store for everything you sell
The templates are the face; EasyCommerce is the engine underneath, and it handles far more than physical goods. A single store can sell physical products, digital downloads, subscriptions with recurring billing, software licences with real licence keys, bundles, and even service work billed by milestone. Tax rules, shipping methods, coupons, and stock live in predictable admin screens, and your orders, revenue, customers, and coupon performance report inside the Joomla administrator rather than in some separate dashboard you have to keep a tab open for.
It is built the Joomla way from top to bottom: Joomla ACL, routing, media, language files, and the standard update mechanism. Your shop stays in Joomla instead of being pushed onto an outside platform.
What you need to run them
- Joomla 5 or Joomla 6
- PHP 8.1 or newer
- A MySQL or MariaDB database on any Joomla-supported version
- Stripe or PayPal for live payments, served over HTTPS
See them, then make one yours
All six are live at templates.shondalai.com. Open a couple, switch their presets, flip them to dark mode, and click into a product page to watch the section builder do its thing. When you are ready, every template comes with the EasyCommerce Storefront Bundle, so one purchase covers your whole shop, front to back.
