Dark mode
A dark mode shoppers can switch on
A toggle in the header switches the whole store between light and dark, and the choice is remembered on the next visit.
- Your brand colours are settings, for light and for dark, with a live preview in Page Builder
- Choose which mode a variation opens in; Fashion starts dark
- Text, borders and buttons keep readable contrast in both modes
Navigation
A mega menu that shows the whole catalog
Three levels of categories open side by side, so shoppers reach a sub-category in one move.
- Promotional image slots inside the Categories and Shop menus
- An All Categories panel with its own banner
- A slide-in menu on phones, with an announcement bar above the header
Lookbook
Sell the look, not just the item
A Lookbook page template turns styled photos into shoppable scenes: tap a hotspot to see the product and add it to the cart.
- Hotspots placed on your own photos, linked to any product in your catalog
- A Shop by Room grid under the hero
- Built in, no app needed
Product page
Everything a shopper needs to decide
A gallery that shows each photo whole, with zoom and product videos, next to a buy box that follows the shopper's choices.
- Colour swatches that switch the main photo; price, SKU and stock update with each option
- A sticky add-to-cart bar, and a Sold Out label when a choice is out of stock
- Tabs for description, specifications from custom fields, reviews and Q&A
- How much more to spend for free shipping, in the shopper's currency
Quick View
Preview and buy from any product card
Quick View opens the product with its options and add to cart, without leaving the page. Cards also offer compare and wishlist, and show a second photo on hover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Ember built on Cornerstone?
Yes. Ember is a Stencil theme built on BigCommerce's Cornerstone, so checkout, accounts, Page Builder and BigCommerce features work as they do in Cornerstone.

No. They are part of the theme and are turned on and set up in Theme Editor.
Can I change variation after I start?
Yes. The three variations ship in one theme; pick another one in Theme Editor at any time. Your catalog stays the same.
Can I use my own colours and fonts?
Yes. Brand colours for light and dark mode, fonts and layout options are all settings, with a live preview.
Does Ember work with several currencies and languages?
Yes. Prices and the free-shipping amount follow the shopper's currency, and the theme's own text comes in 20 language files.

Yes. Download the free trial to preview Ember on your own store, or browse the three live demos.
