General Appearance
We used our years of design experience to craft several unique presets with curated fonts options and color palettes. However, if we've included all the options to make Early Mornings truly fit your existing branding. Visit your Theme settings to start customizing.
Logo and Favicon
In the opening section, we've included the ability to use your own logo rather than just your text-based store title. We recommend a max logo size of 500px wide or 200px tall. This helps ensure that the spacing in your header is fitting for all devices.
Typography and color
All the colors in the Early Mornings theme can be changed to fit your branding. We recommend that if you change your background color to a dark color or a black, please make sure you also revise your text colors to provide readable contrast.
We have curated five preset fonts options to help create a typography rich experience. Each combination works to help increase readability and legibility. They are:
- Helvetica/Arial
- Times
- Raleway
- Merriweather
- Source Sans Pro
The default presets are Headers in Raleway and Merriweather for Body fonts. These fonts are available through Google Web Fonts.
Currency
If you are selling to international customers, it is good practice to let them know how much they will be spending in their own currencies. A link to the various currency codes has been provided. You can include each into the 'currencies you wish to support'. You can also change your default currency to fit your default store location.
Newsletters and the Newsletter Pop-up
Choose whether you want to build your mailing list when customers initially come to your site. You can also update when and how the popup comes in. We've made the popup less intrusive by having it hide when your customers start to interact again with your site.
We have made integrating with MailChimp easy. All you need is to connect the "form action URL" for your desired list. For more information about where to find this URL, follow this link or the link next to the form field in Footer settings.
If you aren't quite ready to build up a newsletter audience, you can toggle the newsletter feature on and off.
Blog
Early Mornings is built to be accessible by multiple staff members. You can set up different members and allow them to post individual blog posts. In the blog setting you have the choice of whether or not you want these author names displayed. Toggle the feature to off to not display any author names.
Removing Arrtistic and Shopify branding
Arrtistic and Shopify branding can be easily by checking the box in the footer settings of your control panel.
Homepage Slideshow
Early Mornings comes with several features in regards to the homepage slideshow. The first being whether or not you wish to display a slideshow at all. For the slideshow feature you can have up to 4 slides. If you choose only one image then the slideshow navigation will toggle off by default.
When you have more than one image, you have can customize the animation, direction, speed, delay and navigation style available. There are some default recommendations put in place as part of the presets but we recommend you play with these options to find the combination that works best for you.
Each slide can have a headline, sells caption and can link to any page that you have set up. To set up the links, provide the leading category and the page id name. For example, if you want to link to your About Us page you would enter pages/about-us in the input field.

Early Mornings comes with the ability to display related products. These products are automatically determined based on similar product tags and information.
