Organize your online store so that products are easily available. And also add visual aids to help them feel the products.

Categories are the backbone of a store. Especially if you sell a lot of stuff. Properly arranged categories help customers navigate the products. This is where themes come in handy. A great theme considers how the category and products should be organized. And also how the search function will find the products.

Magneto 2 has simplified the search capabilities a lot. And has also made it easy to add products. Along with this you can now not only add images but also product videos. This eliminates the need for any additional extensions.
