Our team is kicking off 2024 with the release of Aurora 3.0. The new version is a blend of significant, long-awaited updates and fine-tuned improvements – all designed to elevate the look and functionality of your online store.
Without further ado, let’s walk you through the highlights.
Aurora 3.0 debuts 'Radiant,' a theme style crafted specifically for jewelry brands. Its product-focused design, complemented by soft color tones, beautifully highlights the elegance of various jewelry pieces, from rings and bracelets to necklaces.
Experience the charm of the new style by visiting Radiant demo store.
The next part of the update allows you to transform in-store browsing into an interactive journey by using Featured navigation. When hovered over, navigation items turn into scrolling lines, each paired with a featured image and a clickable button.
This unique feature will guide visitors effortlessly through your collections, enhancing engagement and overall experience.
