Great Products Start With A Great Story

Every great product starts with a great story which is why we are launching our latest Miva ReadyTheme, Storyteller!

Storyteller was designed to showcase and highlight the story behind your products to really help the customer understand why your products are so great. It uses nice visual imagery to help highlight different parts of your products.

This theme emphasizes the process of product creation from the initial crafting to the finished item. Using a robust yet, minimalistic navigation, the theme offers the maximum user experience. The Storyteller ReadyTheme also utilizes a unique header structure, providing a full-width layout optimized towards high quality imagery. – Yuya Oda – Senior Web Designer, Miva, Inc.

In addition to a highly visual design, this ReadyTheme features some cutting edge features as well. This is the first theme to utilize a right sidebar for the mini-basket, login, as well as main navigation. When you click any of the three icons at the top right side of the screen, the right sidebar will appear with a subtle animation and a “bounce.” To hide the right sidebar, simply click the icon a second time, click the X to close the bar, or you can even use the esc key on the keyboard.

Lazy Loading Images

This theme also has a feature called “Lazy Loading” where images are not loaded into the page until you scroll down to see them. As you scroll you’ll see both text and images fade into the page. This helps keep initial load time extremely fast as only what is visible on the page is loaded.

As with all our themes, special attention is paid to page speed to make the site as fast as possible.

Product Page Features

This theme features an innovative hover to show additional images. The image are hidden on page load and slide into view when you hover your mouse over the product image. It also features a touch friendly image slider to make viewing product images on mobile simple and easy.

Checkout Process

This theme also features our newest optimized checkout process where relevant information is as high on the page as possible right where you need it. The right sidebar keeps the basket contents and the Bill to / Ship to easily in sight for quick editing.
