messing around withWooCommerce and e-commerce for years youknow and the flotsam theme is theultimate WordPress theme for e-commerceit does so much for your store and I'mjust going to be going over some of thekey essentials it does like imageresizing and decorating shop pages checkout pages and all sorts of stuff so theflotsam theme guys by default does a lotthat you normally can't do with otherWordPress themes for example you cantotally have a customizable header righthere and they have like pre-designedtemplates or you can just simply justlike pick one of them you know choose aheader that works for you and they alsohave this like really cool like you knowthese buttons right here that makes itreally easy to sign up for your websitesalso you can fully customize thecheckout page so for example right herelet's say you have the checkout page andyou're saying you know I don't like ittoo much with flats um you can kind ofdesign your own your own checkout pageand they have just great templates youcan add more in the checkout page now bydefault guys WordPress teams usuallydon't offer this you know but flat sumis designed for e-commerce so again it'sjust some amazing stuff so I'll be goingover some of these features in thisreview but first let's go ahead and talkabout the page builder I'm sureeverybody wants to know about the pagebuilder because visual visual composerwas used on flotsam about a year ago butflats I'm kind of moved away from visualcomposer because I realize it's not thebest page builder and in fact I havealways hated itand flat semester they're owned usbuilder and another really amazing thingabout this is if you guys suck atdesigning websites which I do too theyhave a flat 'some studio so right hereif I click on flotsam studio they haveover 500 templates that you guys can addfor your e-commerce websites and nomatter what you're looking for theseguys have it you know they have about uspages banners call to actions contactpages just amazing stuff I even havelike grids right here so they just offerso much the I mean you can likeliterally import an entire ecommercewebsite from their home page the aboutUs page and contact page and just justuse their stuff you know then charge theclient ten grand or you know whateveryou want to charge you know but let mejust give you an example of how thisworks so let's say right here for mycall to action I want to just select youknow one of these call to action so I'mjust gonna click on import and click onstart and it's going to import thatspecific section and it's really fastso here I basically you know I I tookthe templates and then here I'll just dolike an amazing sale and then I justclick on okay save the changes etc andguys it's that quick and fast to make awebsite with flat some also if you guyslike the full width page they also havethat as well so in the options when youdesign this page you can have it eitherboxed or full width so a lot of theirdemos have the only boxed looked but youguys can make it full width that's whatI first thought I was like I want thefull width look they have it so righthere on this gear icon I'm gonna clickon that and I'm goes to my template andgo to full width and voila now it isfull width also you guys might bemessing around with the templates quitea lot which I was – now it's reallysimple to get rid of all this all I needto do is click on the gear icon and justclick on clear click on OK and that's ityou can start all over again so it'sreally simple to make websites of theflat sum and the page builder isincredibly easy to learn I have a fulltutorial on it in the description belowyou guys want to check it out but let'sgo ahead and keep talking about otherfeatures besides just the flat slimstudio which is probably one of the mostamazing features I've seen about flatsum I mean they have over 500 templatesthat you guys can simply just grab andjust you know check out you guys canpreview it see how it looks and thenjust simply grab any one of theirtemplates for your e-commerce websitesok so that was a quick preview of theflotsam Studio now I'm gonna talk aboutthings that I love about flotsam andthings that really stood out to me andsaying this is amazing one of them isthe image resizing now by default guyswhen you're using other WordPress themesthe image sizing can be the biggest painin the butt if something's likemisaligned a little bit it's going tocome out weird flotsam has theoption to force the height for all yourproducts now this is not the productpage right here but this is the moduleitself now they have different stylesthat you guys can use so right here youguys can see the style of products soright here we have overlay we have shadewe have just and the thing is guys theselook really clean like these look likethese look amazing you know like there'sthere's so much you can do you can addthe description you can add the reviewsyou can take out the reviews you can putin whatever you want you can mix andmatch whatever you want you can havethis animation fade from you know up thebottom like that really clean just justamazing you know simply amazing and ifyou're not using flotsam for youre-commerce website you're missing outbecause it's just a very clean theme andit's just it's so easy to use you shoulduse it you know and people who aren'tusing it I could I get upset with themI'm like dude use this theme it haseverything now also right here forimages now right here you got some kindof mess around with the image sizing soright here we have like 75 cent or sevenfive percent two hundred percents andyou guys can kind of mess around withthis they kind of get what you guys wanton your websites but the image sizingfor this is simply amazing and then youcan also change the width of its likethat and you can also change the radiusas well so let's say for example youkind of want a more circular kind ofapproach here we can add in a radius ofa hundred percent and it's going tocreate that circle effect now you cannotdo this without custom CSS so flats upnoses and you don't have to use CSS youdon't need any CSS at all and also wecan have like the size you can changethe size and here we can add in a quickoverlay so here I'm I put in blue yourblue right here and then maybe just likethat you guys get the idea now that's asuper ugly color but I'm just showingyou the possibilities of what you can dowith the flat some theme also you canchange the text alignment you can changethe size of the text you can change thefont you can customize each andeverything on the product section soalso right here it says sale you canchange the color you can change the textso there's there's no limits on what youcan do with flat sum so it's simplyincredible of thethe possibilities and the combinationsyou can have with the flotsam theme sothat is a quick little preview of likethe product module that where you canadd props on your front page now let'stalk about the actual productsthemselves so this is my shop page andyou guys can actually decorate andcustomize the shop page so here I justadded like a slider you know somethingsomething quick and easy no this isquick and easy now we also have like thegrid style where you can have like theAdd to Cart feature you can have no Addto Cart or you can have the epic art onthe picture so for example right hereyou see that we have the Add to CartI'll click on this it's gonna change nowthe Add to Cart is actually on thepicture and you can add the cart rightthere simple and easy so it's just it'sreally really amazing what you can dowith this theme so next to say you wantsto put it right there you know you canactually change it so now the Add toCart is gone but you know I'm justgiving you an idea of what you can dealwith the store so if you don't want toadd to cart you can take it out but Ikind of like that's a cart you knowbuttons are clickable and people love toclick buttons so I kind of want thosebuttons there you can show thecategories you can show the ratings youcan show the short description also forthe sale level right here this littlebubble we have you can change it to likea square so now you see like it's thesquare you can add it like a little bitdifferently so it's like in the actualbox etc you can change the color you canchange the font so right here you canchange the custom fonts you can alsoshow a percentage discount so instead ofsaying sale like you know a lot ofboring WordPress themes you can put thesale percent of what the product is onsale for and websites like wish do thatif you guys seen that website whichwhere they sell those those Chineseproducts where they said like 99% offthey do that on their app and theirwebsite so it's it's it's worth lookinginto you know you guys can also changelike the categories you can do all sortsof stuff you can also this is a greatfeature right here so equalized imageHeights so no matter what size the imageis it's going to align them properly tomake your site look amazing so if youtake that out depending on your imagesit's going to come out kind of skewedbut my images are all the same size sothatnot gonna be the case but for mostbeginners a lot of beginners actuallyused just all different image sizingbecause they don't know what they'redoing and this is the cold reality of itall so the image height so you can kindof like you know make the image heightbigger and smaller and you can list theproduct per page product per row it'sjust it's just limitless on what you cando with the shop page and you can alsodecorate it so you can build on the shoppage so right here I added a slider youguys can add whatever you wantuse their flotsam studio stuff on yourpage you know their designs are amazingso that's just a quick example ofsomething you can do with the shop pagenext is like I said the car page youguys can also add content like bannersright here or you guys can build on thischeckout page and guys you cannot dothis with other WordPress themes I loveDivi I think Debbie has the best pagebuilder unfortunately Divi can't do whatflotsam again I know I'm playing devil'sadvocate here but if there's somethinggood if there's a good product out theremy job wants to talk about it you knowthat's my job my job is not to playfavorites it's not to be biased it's toprovide the best value for my viewersright so I love Divi I think their pagebuilder is amazing I would use it forany other websites but if I'm running ane-commerce website as of right now Iwould use flotsam because the things youcan do with this you can't do this withyou can't do this with Elementor youcan't do this with beaver builder youcan't do this with Divi but you can doit with flats um so here you can likeadd in blocks and if you watch mytutorial I talk all about blocksbasically like their sections like wehow we design the shop page you can dothe same exact thing on the checkoutpage also the header the header isamazing you guys can add buttons here sofor example right here we have buttonone button – you guys can even add athird button you can add social icons sohere I'm a dragon social icons and theheader is just so customizable it isamazing and I like the header or the ThePresets you know I mean why work harderyou know I'm just gonna just grab apreset and if you look at the thepresets right here it's pretty simple onhow they do everything and here like youcan take the logo and drag the logo toanywhere else you want you can virtuallydo anything you want they also have atutorial on it as well you can alsomodify it for theand also the mobile device as well so Iknow you guys might have been skepticalon flat sum it took me a while to usethe page blur to fully understand it andto you know to realize that the themehas a lot to offer and I'm not a hugefan ofenvato I really am NOT but thedevelopers on Novatowhen I see good development teams and Isee really good teams and companies outthere like flats um I have to recognizethem you know as much as I don't likefire and vato just because I have my ownpersonal reasons why I don't like Envatobut the developers on it are incrediblytalented and again some of the work theydo is just amazing so if you guys arelooking for an e-commerce theme I highlyrecommend the flotsam theme because thepage builder is easy you can do imagesizing you could customize everythingthere's no limits on what you cancustomize they have tons of templatesand virtually I wouldn't see a reason touse any other commerce theme because ofwhat you can do with flats um okay so Ihope this review was helpful if you guyswant to purchase the flotsam theme thereis a link in the description of thisvideo I do make a very very smallCommission so if you want to buy throughmy link or knots it's up to you it'sreally up to you if you do I appreciateit if not no big deal I'm not gonna sitthere and cry about itso make sure to check out the possumtheme you guys can probably see like ademo of it I do have a fold to taunt aswell it's just really uh it's it's greatguys it's really amazing what this thinghas to offer so again I hope this reviewwas helpful hopefully by now you mightbe encouraged to switch over to theflotsam theme so I've got a lot ofviewers saying they got like a femalewitch or I'm sharp or mush it was thething called the shopkeeper a shopkeeperis not as good as this because a lot ofthe features with a shopkeeper you can'tdo with flats um you know you have toyou have to throw in a tons of customCSS and if you also go to Envato marketsif you just simply go to Nevada marketright here and go to their page righthere and go to their section you guysare going to see that flotsam is thenumber one most sold ecommerce theme solet me just give you an example righthere we go to ecommerce forWordPress their ties being a littleweird CR here we'll go to e-commerce andI'm gonna go to best best sellers theykind of changed this little it's kind ofweird and right here you guys can seeflotsam it just has an overwhelminglyamount of positive reviews and alsosales compared to shopkeeper shopkeeperis actually kind of you know they'relosing stars but I'm sure it's it's it'sa decent theme but I've used it beforeand it just nothing compared to theflotsam thing you can be so much morecustomizable with the flotsam theme alsoif you guys are using like elemental Ilove elemental unfortunately fore-commerce it's just not the best it'snot really designed for e-commerce likeit has the capabilities of e-commercebut it's not it's not designed for ityou know there's its it's doable butit's like not the best Divi is the sameway Davi it's an amazing page builderbut it's just not designed fore-commerce flotsam is so that's why Ipurchase flotsam I use it and if youlook at the ratings five stars five starratings with like 60,000 plus sales soagain it's a it's a really amazingWordPress theme just just get it now I'mtelling you guys to get it all right soI hope this video was helpful and makesure to check out flotsam and I will seeyou all latertake care
