WooCommerce Storefront is a theme by the core developers of WooCommerce (Automattic). The theme is very well optimized for WooCommerce and regularly updated to support the new features of WooCommerce. Storefront allows customizing the layout and color styles in the WordPress Customizer to personize the theme. If you need to integrate more complex design changes, a custom child theme can be created. This will allow users to have a unique design, even when Storefront has more than 200.000 active installations.
The theme is completely responsive, always up to date, has widget areas, allows customizations, is mobile-friendly and fast.
You can download the theme directly in WordPress or on wordpress.org. If you want to start right away with a prebuild child theme, you can choose out of 14 official customized themes [1].
We have decided to report updates of Storefront in this blog, too, as we do for WordPress, Magento, and WooCommerce already.
