Let’s take an example of one of the top selling themes on Odoo App Store: Crafito Theme. We created this theme for ecommerce platform specifically. It is a feature-rich theme built using Bootstrap. It offers a wide range of snippets to the developers to customize the theme as per the requirements with ease. Odoo themes provide an ideal website design for online business.
