This unique feature will guide visitors effortlessly through your collections, enhancing engagement and overall experience.
Interactive image slider
The introduction of the Image Slider in Aurora 3.0 adds another tool to your visual storytelling arsenal. Engage your audience with captivating animations and a timeline-style layout, perfect for showcasing new products, seasonal looks, or special offers.
Blog post slideshow
In response to multiple requests, we’ve also expanded the list of layouts available for the Blog posts section. With the new version, you can present your blog content in an engaging slideshow format, making it more appealing and accessible to your audience.
Enhanced testimonials section
The Testimonials section has been upgraded with several layouts and new functionality. The new settings allow you to resize a background image, display reviewed products, and add detailed information about reviewers, thereby bolstering the authenticity of your customer testimonials.
Optimized color schemes
In our effort to provide more versatile customization options, we’ve introduced a new color scheme, refreshed some default colors, and rolled out additional pickers. This gives you greater control over your store's aesthetic and enables more precise customization of minor theme elements.
Product cards within scrolling text
The Scrolling text section has received two new blocks, and now allows you to feature clickable product and collection cards within the marquee. Use this feature to interactively promote best-selling products, new arrivals, or items on sale.
