Overview

Selling books online calls for more than a standard shop template. You need ways to present titles, authors and reviews alongside the product catalog. Bookworm is a Bootstrap-based theme that brings these pieces together, with 13 homepage layouts, dedicated author pages and blog templates, so a bookshop can set up its site around the way readers browse.

The theme works with WordPress's native Gutenberg editor instead of a third-party page builder, and it is compatible with WooCommerce for managing products and orders. Its responsive design adapts to smartphones, tablets and desktops. It suits a physical bookshop adding an online store as well as a store that sells only online.

Features

  • Built with Gutenberg blocks: The theme uses WordPress's native editor for customization, so you can edit pages with the blocks you already know and avoid depending on a separate page builder.
  • 13 homepage layouts: Choose from 13 homepage designs to present your books and brand in the style that fits your shop, then adjust the content to match your catalog.
  • 9 shop list variations: Nine shop list layouts give you different ways to display your book catalog, so you can pick the arrangement that suits the size and style of your collection.
  • 7 single product designs: Seven single product page designs let you present each book in a format that fits, from the cover and details to the surrounding product information.
  • Author and single author pages: Dedicated pages introduce authors and their works, which helps a bookstore give readers background on the writers behind the titles it sells.
  • 3 blog page versions: Built-in blogging comes with three layouts, useful for publishing book reviews, news and other literary content alongside your shop.
  • WooCommerce compatibility: The theme is integrated with WooCommerce, so you can manage products and online book sales using the standard WordPress e-commerce tools, including current WooCommerce 10.x releases.
  • Responsive Bootstrap base: Built on the Bootstrap framework with a responsive layout, the theme adapts to smartphones, tablets and desktops so customers can browse books on any device.

Best for
