Choosing a variation

Ember Theme ships three variations. Every one has the same features: a variation is a set of settings, and none adds or removes a page or a function.

What separates them is the layout as well as the colour and type. Each variation selects a layout preset, and each preset arranges the header, hero, categories and product grids its own way. Each variation is named for the kind of store it was designed for: Home & Garden, Fashion & Jewelry, or Food & Beverage.

Variation Layout preset What it looks like Demo
Home Classic Logo left, split hero beside its copy, framed product cards four across, orange accent. The theme's own defaults. ember-home-demo
Fashion Editorial Centred logo over the menu, full-bleed hero, three-across grid, display serif, brass accent, opens in dark mode. ember-fashion-demo
Food Market Wide search on the top row with the aisles below, framed hero with the copy on the photo, round category tags, five-across home grids, herb green. ember-food-demo

The preset is an ordinary setting, Theme Editor → Ember Theme → Layout Preset, so any variation can take any of the three: the Food colours on the Classic layout, for example.

Switch variations in Theme Editor → the variation dropdown at the top. Note that switching resets any setting the target variation defines, so make your variation choice before spending time on colours.
