What is

Out of the sandbox

Out of the Sandbox offers a collection of Shopify themes designed for online retailers looking for flexible, high-performance options. Their themes are recognized for extensive customization capabilities, responsive designs, and user-friendly interfaces, making them popular among Shopify store owners. Themes such as Turbo, Retina, and Flex include features that enhance mobile performance, boost visual engagement, and streamline ecommerce navigation. These themes also integrate with Shopify’s Online Store 2.0 framework, offering long-term compatibility and performance.

Some of the core features

  • Mobile-First Design: Themes optimized for fast loading and smooth browsing on mobile devices.
  • Customization Options: Built-in options allow users to tailor their storefront’s look and functionality without coding.
  • Predictive Search: Improves user navigation with auto-complete suggestions.
  • Mega Menu Support: Organize complex product catalogs with multi-column menus.
  • Image Galleries and Lookbooks: Showcase high-quality images and videos.
  • Cart Features: Customizable cart notes, slide-out cart, and in-store pickups supported.
  • Marketing Tools: Promo popups, stock counters, and trust badges to boost conversions.
  • Performance Modes: Turbo themes come with ‘Ludicrous’ and ‘Sport’ speed settings to optimize load times.

Popular Themes include:

Turbo: Known for its speed and performance, suitable for stores that need to handle high traffic. The Turbo theme is a popular pick for many eCommerce brands due to its high impact imagery, built in newsletter pop-up, superior performance, and mega menu layout which provides a positive user experience.

Flex: Offers extensive customization options, making it versatile for different store layouts. The Flex theme is possibly more suited to those comfortable with custom CSS as it enables users of the theme to add this to any section within the editor. That being said, there are multiple pre-built layouts of the Flex theme that are ready to go.

Superstore: Ideal for larger inventories, providing robust navigation and filtering features. The Superstore theme is tailored more towards wholesaler websites due to being optimized for high-volume and key features such as the navigation options including filtering, live search and promotional options.

Out of the Sandbox also offers a Theme Updater app, which helps users update their themes while keeping customizations intact. This app supports themes from Out of the Sandbox, Pixel Union, and Archetype, and offers both free and Pro plans based on your needs.
