# Design your online store in your colours, with sections in your order

> Store design in Madar means you choose one of 6 ready themes, Riwaq, Lawha, Hala, Souq, Trend and Layl, then set its colours and section order in the design studio. You preview each change live, save it as a draft, publish it when you are ready, and find your earlier versions in the version history.

## What the design studio gives you

- **6 ready themes to start from**: Choose between Riwaq, Lawha, Hala, Souq, Trend and Layl, so you start from a finished design rather than a blank page, then adjust it to fit your brand.
- **Customise your store colours**: Change the colours to match your logo and your Instagram page. Start with one main colour from your logo, and check that the text stays clear on the background.
- **Arrange your store sections**: Move the page sections and change their order, so what you want your shopper to see first sits at the top.
- **Preview before you publish**: A live preview shows every change to a colour or to the order, so you judge the final look before any shopper sees it.
- **Draft, publish and version history**: Save the design as a draft and finish it whenever you like, then publish when you are ready. The version history keeps your earlier designs.

## How to design your store

1. **Pick a theme**: Open the design studio in your dashboard and start from whichever theme is closest to your business.
2. **Set the colours and sections**: Set your store colours, arrange the page sections to suit what you sell, and watch the live preview as you go.
3. **Save a draft and review it**: Save the design as a draft if you are not finished, come back to it later, and check the preview carefully before you decide to publish.
4. **Publish the design**: Publish when you are happy with the look, and your shoppers see it. Your earlier versions stay in the version history.

## Good to know

- Madar has 6 themes, Riwaq, Lawha, Hala, Souq, Trend and Layl, and two store languages only, Arabic and English. Pick the one that suits your business, then set the colours and arrange the sections.
- Both Basic and Pro include the design studio and every theme, so you do not need a higher plan to use any of them.
- A practical tip: after you publish, open your store on your phone and browse it the way your shopper does, so you notice any colour or order that needs a change.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I preview my store design before publishing it?**

Yes. The design studio in Madar shows a live preview of every change to colours or section order. You save the design as a draft and publish it when you are ready, so it does not reach your shoppers until you decide.

**Which online store templates does Madar offer?**

Madar offers 6 online store themes, Riwaq, Lawha, Hala, Souq, Trend and Layl, and every one comes with both plans. You choose one, then customise its colours and the order of its sections in the design studio and preview the result before publishing.

**Do Madar themes support Arabic right to left?**

Yes. Your Madar store appears in Arabic from right to left and in English from left to right, in the theme you chose, and you choose the store's languages from Arabic and English only, to suit your shoppers. No other languages are available.

**Do I need a designer or a developer to design my store?**

No. In Madar you start from one of the ready themes, then set its colours and the order of its sections in the design studio while you watch the live preview, without writing any code. The result stays a draft in your hands until you publish it.
