Hey friends, Andrew here hope you're well. In today's video, I'm going to show you
one of my favorite Shopify apps to completely customize and transform your store in only about
10 to 15 minutes from scratch so without wasting time let's jump straight onto my laptop here and
i'll show you step by step how to build a beautifully custom shopify store with this
no code page builder app incredibly important considering that your store represents your brand
and your vision and by the way i'll be giving away this exact store i've built in this video
to a subscriber more details at the end of this video so to build out a custom shopify
store today the very first thing you want to do is go on to the shopify app store actual
first step is to get shopify if you haven't yet already and if you haven't yet already i'll drop
a link to an extended free trial down below if you want to follow along with this video now
once you have your shopify store go on to the app store and then this is where we're going to get a
crucial tool and this app is going to allow us to build and design a shopify store without all
the custom coding and it's called gem pages right here so gem pages they're known as this no code
page builder on shopify and it's really useful in building a high converting store without code
it's essentially a drag and drop builder that myself and the team have used to design custom
shopify sales pages and the plan of attack today is to create a custom one product store simply by
using the gem pages drag and drop tools right here i've spent some time before this video
creating the brand and all the assets like product renders brand name and whatnot i'm calling it to
charge because we all need to charge our devices that's terrible i know i have all the assets to
go in my folder right here as you can see and so what we're going to do now is build out our page
with gem pages using all the files that i've created here so head on to the dashboard and then
click create new from here is click more types and you can see that you're able to create a bunch of
different pages based on what you want to go for so a landing page a home page a product page etc
and so let's just click for example home page so there's a whole bunch of home page templates here
there's also a whole bunch of landing pages the theory here is i'm going to build a one product
store so i'm going to use a landing page only and i found the one that i want to use
and it's bluetooth headphones you can click preview to preview the template first or
you can just click start editing so i'm going to click start editing i'm going to give the
the page name a name and then click header and footer i want this off only because we're creating
a one product store and we don't want a header and footer at the bottom really quickly though you can
use a completely blank canvas but if you want to get up and running really fast like in 15 minutes
then it's good to use a foundation such as a template on the left hand panel you have
all your tools and drag and drop widgets you can see that literally anything can be customized you
can literally drag and drop and select an image new images you can go through the widgets here and
literally customize every single component of the page unlike the typical shopify builder now
i'm going to continue building what i've built off this video so after spending about 15 to 20
minutes on this page here is exactly what i've come up with so far there are still a few things
i want to add to this page to clean it all up so let's do it together while i walk you through
the design process and the thinking behind it the beauty of gem pages is you're able to
drag and drop absolutely anything in so let's say i want to add a logo so what i'm going to do is
drag and drop the image tile then click images and click replace image then i'll find the transparent
logo that i have and then we're going to slightly resize it because it's probably going to be too
big so we're going to resize this i'll go with 20 and so now we have a logo up there so we're
just going to leave it as it is the copy that i have up here the fastest portable charger you
know just assuming it probably is and then we have this really cool animated cta button here
something that you typically don't see or get the option to add in shopify but with gem pages we're
able to do that and we also have a countdown timer these are all widgets that we can drag
and drop into this page here also have this really cool sort of uh animated counter that comes up and
then of course we have the product itself i'm also going to change the button color here so
going down to bottom color under background color what we're going to do is change it to this font
color here you want to take the hex code this little hashtag code here i'm going to click copy
scroll back down to the background color drop the hex code into here and it should update
automatically and there we go it's looking much nicer already here is the product itself
and of course we have that same cta button here and so we can easily remove some of these images
we can remove some of these logos as well if you click icon list you can see the items here
you know for example i don't want the authentic product over here i don't really know what that
means so over here i'm gonna click the rubbish bin icon delete this and if i really wanted to
the we've got this nice purple theme going on here i'm going to add some purple into the background
here so by doing clicking the background box here click design going down to background we can again
use that hex code right and then bring down that transparency just slightly
just like so and that is looking much nicer i also have a bunch of usps here unique selling
points as little boxes we have a carousel with images here the tech specifications are drop down
boxes essentially all of these elements including even this comparison box here is all added just
through widgets there are so many powerful widgets here that we can use including even crazier things
so let's say for example share buttons we can add element here where we can get people to literally
share all of this and share this page on their socials and we also have other crazy elements like
we've got video pop-ups we have video integrations countdown timers like we said i believe there's
a before and after module here so this before and after module is super powerful for those who have
a product that demonstrates a before and after if you did not have gem pages something like this to
implement would take a lot of time it would take a lot of coding as well you can start to see
just how easy it is to change all of this up so yeah this is what i've come up with and this is
so much more custom than what's available on the shopify template pages unless you want to hire
you know a developer a shopify liquid coder to build out something for you separately and i've
done this in literally 15 to 20 minutes and it's a whole bunch of fun too it's also pre-optimized
for a whole bunch of different platforms such as mobile and tablet etc you want to go through each
device and make sure that it's correctly optimized for each device here we want to change out the
font color we want to reposition the buttons etc so we want to build for desktop and mobile
so we've gone from essentially this don't get me wrong it looks great as it is already but we
very quickly freshened it up and integrated into a single home page a single page a1 product store
and we also have this really neat looking unique selling point section here where we call out all
the features and the benefits and we have text specifications you know advanced drop down boxes
here we have comparison boxes here we have an faq accordion here as well and all those trust
badges and unique selling points down here too super quick to set up it is extremely powerful
if you want to give it more time which you really obviously should who knows what you can
come up with my advice here is to take your time designing a custom shopify store and probably most
importantly enjoy the process the look and feel and design of your ecommerce store is so important
in attracting the right customers a big thanks again to jem pages for sponsoring today's video
when they reached out it was an absolute no-brainer because we've previously used
gem pages to create custom shopify landing pages for our e-commerce business and it's the best
no code page builder app i've used on shopify when it comes to a hundred percent of flexible
customization and quickly building converting pages beyond the stock standard shopify tools
spending the time to build out a beautiful store that reflects your brand and vision is
so so important in creating a long lasting successful online business so i'd recommend
playing around with gem pages and shopify so you end up crafting the look of your brand before you
even press publish and begin selling you'll thank yourself later i think the easiest way to do this
is to take advantage of the gem pages free trial to test out the app and see if it actually suits
you before you get deep into it i'll leave a link below to the free trial also i want to
ask you a curious question if you have a chance or if you had the chance to sell whatever you like
yoga products tech accessories like to charge or a custom product and make a living from it
what would you want to ideally sell drop that comment down below and let me know
and we'll be picking a subscriber to give away this store built to in a month's time
