The theme decides how much work everything else becomes.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Explicit WooCommerce support, not merely compatibility Active maintenance, with updates in the last few months Good performance. Themes bundled with dozens of demos load far more than you need A clean product page and a simple checkout Responsive layout that works on a phone, where most Nigerian traffic will come from
SOLID CHOICES
Storefront, the official WooCommerce theme: plain, fast, reliable Astra, Kadence, Blocksy, GeneratePress: light, well maintained, with shop-specific features
WHAT TO AVOID
Themes sold with a bundle of premium plugins you do not need, which become your responsibility to license and update Anything not updated in over a year Nulled themes, which are the most common source of compromised shops
A PRACTICAL POINT
A fast plain theme with good product photography outsells a heavy elaborate theme. Customers judge products, not sliders.
USE A CHILD THEME
If you intend to edit theme files, use a child theme. Otherwise updates erase your changes.
