A custom Salla theme on Twilight: a store that looks like no other

As your brand grows, a ready-made theme becomes a limit. We design your store's core pages in your brand, build them as a theme on Twilight — Salla's own theme engine — and upload it to your store, with the source in your name.

A distinctive brand inside a template everyone uses

A ready-made theme shortens the start, but it imposes its structure: the same sections and product cards customers have seen in other stores. And piling customisations on top makes every update a risk.

  • Your store looks like others on the same theme
  • Many customisations on a ready-made theme that are hard to maintain
  • A buying experience that doesn't reflect your product's value

What a custom theme covers

  • Core page design

    Home, category, product and cart in your brand, reviewed before coding.

  • Built on Twilight

    A theme that works inside Salla with all its features, not a separate site.

  • Mobile first

    Every page designed for phones before desktop.

  • Source in your name

    Theme files and source are handed over, so you aren't tied to us to change it.

What you receive

  • A custom theme live on your store
  • Designs of the core pages
  • Theme source and files in your name
  • A post-hand-over bug-fix period set in the contract

Who it's for

  • Brands with a clear identity that want a store to match
  • Stores with layers of customisation on a ready-made theme
  • Merchants planning their store for years, not months

When it isn't the right fit

If your store is just starting and hasn't tested the market yet, begin with a well-arranged ready-made theme; a custom theme is an investment for a store that knows what it needs.

Before you decide

What exactly is Twilight?

Twilight is the theme engine Salla builds its own themes on, and Salla publishes its base theme, Raed, as open source for developers. So a custom theme runs inside your store with everything Salla offers — cart, payments and apps — not as a separate website.

Custom theme or a ready-made one with changes?

If your changes are few and specific, a ready-made theme plus CSS costs less. If they change page structure — a different product card, a home page with its own sections, a checkout experience in your brand — a custom theme is cleaner and easier to maintain than dozens of changes on a theme not designed for them.

What "source in your name" means

You receive the theme files and full source code, so you can change it later with us or any other developer, and your store isn't tied to us.

Frequently asked questions

What is Twilight?

The theme engine Salla builds its themes on; it allows a custom theme that runs inside the store with all of its features.

Why isn't the price fixed before the session?

Because a custom theme varies with the number of pages and elements. The Bespoke package starts from its listed price, and the final price is confirmed in writing after the scoping session.

Can I change the theme later, myself or with another developer?

Yes — the source is in your name and handed over in full.
