"Which theme should I pick for my Zid store?" has no single answer, and anyone who hands you one name without asking what you sell is selling to you rather than advising you. A theme is how a visitor sees your products, and a jewelry store showing ten pieces in large photographs needs something very different from a grocery store carrying eight hundred items that lives or dies on search and categories.
This guide puts the MT-Themes Zid themes in one table, then answers directly which one fits each kind of store.
Zid themes compared, with prices
| Theme | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Roqaya | Fashion and clothing | 300 SAR |
| Zeina | Jewelry and accessories | 300 SAR |
| El-Aml | Large, multi-category catalogues | 300 SAR |
| Sutra | General stores on a tighter budget | 300 SAR |
| El-Rawda | Grocery and food | 690 SAR |
| Rio | Stores that want a distinctly modern look | 690 SAR |
| Raqami | General stores, and the best seller | 690 SAR |
The price is paid once, not monthly. Every theme is customised straight from the Zid dashboard: colours, fonts, section order, and showing or hiding any section, without writing a line of code.
Pick by what you sell
Fashion and clothing
Roqaya is built around the image. Products get room to breathe, and the grid serves the visual browsing that clothing purchases depend on. If you sell clothing alongside many other categories, El-Aml handles the wider catalogue better.
Jewelry and accessories
Zeina presents a single piece in detail, which is what you want when the catalogue is small and each piece carries real value. The buyer needs longer in front of the product, and the layout gives them that instead of pushing them to the next listing.
Grocery and food
El-Rawda was designed for exactly this: a large number of items, a basket filled with several products per visit, and a need for clear categories the customer can reach quickly.
Large multi-category stores
El-Aml was built for a wide catalogue and stays orderly as categories and products multiply, rather than letting the home page turn into clutter.
New or general stores
If you are starting out and your niche has not settled yet, Sutra covers the essentials at 300 SAR. If you want a more current look and wider control from day one, Raqami is the best seller and Rio gives you a modern look that sets you apart from lookalike stores.
What justifies the price difference?
The gap between a 300 SAR theme and a 690 SAR one is not "quality" in the abstract. It is three concrete things: how many ready-made sections you can arrange on the home page, how far the styling controls reach, and how recently the theme was built. A 300 SAR theme fully covers a focused store. But if you compete in a crowded category and need to look different from the neighbour running the default theme, the higher tier gives you more room to do it.
Five questions that settle the choice
- How many items do you carry today, and how many in a year? A catalogue that grows fast needs a theme that scales, not one that looks good at twenty products.
- Is buying visual or functional for you? Clothing and jewelry are bought by eye and need large images. Groceries are bought by search and need categories and speed.
- What share of your visitors are on mobile? It is usually above 80%, which makes the mobile experience a primary criterion rather than a detail.
- Do you need bespoke changes? If you have a design requirement no ready theme covers, ask about a custom theme instead of buying one and bending it.
- Will you publish content? A store that publishes articles shows up for search terms product pages alone never reach.
After you have picked a theme
A theme decides how your store looks, but it does not bring visitors on its own. A store that publishes useful content appears in search for terms a product page never ranks for, which is why we built Automated Blog: it writes articles and publishes them to your Zid store blog automatically, on topics derived from your own products. And if you want your store in a native app on your customers' phones, the mobile app builds on the same Zid catalogue with no double management.
If you have not settled on a theme yet, browse all themes with their live previews, or ask about a custom theme if you have a requirement no ready-made theme covers.
