One of the most searched questions by Shopify store owners is: how do I change my store design without hiring a developer? The good news is that modern Shopify themes — and Granivio in particular — are built to give you full design control through a visual editor with no code required. This guide walks you through exactly what you can customise, how to do it, and what to prioritise when you sit down to personalise your store.
Understanding Shopify’s Visual Theme Editor
Shopify’s Online Store 2.0 editor is a live visual editor — you see changes on your store in real time as you make them. The editor is divided into sections (blocks of content) and settings (design properties). With a theme like Granivio, every page in your store is made up of configurable sections that you can add, remove, reorder, and adjust without touching code.
To access the editor, go to Shopify Admin, then Online Store, then Themes. Click “Customise” next to your active theme. You are now in the editor. On the left is a panel of sections and settings. On the right is a live preview of your store. Click anything on the preview to select and edit it directly.
What You Can Change in Granivio Without Code
Colours and fonts: Under Theme Settings in the editor, you will find a Colours panel and a Typography panel. Set your primary brand colour, button colour, background colour, and text colour globally. All elements in Granivio inherit from these settings, so one change updates the entire store. For fonts, choose from Google Fonts or upload a custom font — headings and body text are set independently.
Homepage layout: The homepage is a stack of sections. Click the + icon to add new sections from Granivio’s library: hero banner, product grid, testimonials, image with text, video, countdown timer, email signup, and more. Drag sections to reorder them. Click any section to edit its content and layout options.
Header and navigation: Click the header section to change your logo, set its size, configure the cart icon style, and choose between a standard menu and a mega menu. Your navigation links are set in Shopify’s Navigation settings (not the theme editor) and automatically appear in the header.
Product pages and collection pages: These page types have their own section editors in Granivio. Click “Product pages” in the editor sidebar to configure the layout — image position, description placement, variant display, add-to-cart button style, and which blocks to show (size guide, trust badges, returns policy).
What Requires a Developer
To be honest: the vast majority of store owners never need to write code to run and update a Granivio store. Where you might eventually want developer help is: custom functionality beyond what apps provide (unique checkout logic, custom integrations), advanced animation or interactions, or building custom sections with unique layouts not in Granivio’s standard library. OneOnic handles exactly these custom extensions for Shopify stores when you are ready to go beyond no-code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo changes I make in the Granivio editor?
Yes. The Shopify theme editor has an undo function. Additionally, changes only go live when you click “Save” — you can preview freely without affecting your live store until you choose to publish.
How do I change just one page in Granivio without affecting the whole store?
In the theme editor, use the page selector at the top of the preview to navigate to any page (homepage, product, collection, about, etc.). Changes to section settings on a specific page only affect that page type, not the whole store.
Does Granivio have a mobile preview in the editor?
Yes. The Shopify theme editor has a mobile view toggle at the top of the preview. Always check your changes in mobile view before publishing — this is especially important for hero banners and image sections where text overlays may need adjustment for smaller screens.
