This page describes options for setting up a FOSS-ish online store using Wordpress and WooCommerce.

To get the presentation I wanted with the Storefront theme, I had to make a child theme from it and make some changes. In particular, I wanted to:

• Change the brand typogrpahy.
• Use a different shopping cart icon.
• Remove categories from the navigation.
• Use a copyright notice that was better suited for purpose.

This meant changing the Storefront child theme style.css and Storefront child theme functions.php files using the Theme Editor.

style.css

/*
Theme Name: Mithat's Storefront Child
Theme URI: n/a
Description: Storefront modified by mfk.
Author: Automattic/mfk
Author URI: https://mithatkonar.com
Template: storefront
Version: 0.1.0
*/
 
/* make the brand bigger. */
.site-branding .site-title {
  /*font-size: 2.8em;*/
  /*letter-spacing: -0.06em;*/
  font-size: 1.6em; 
  letter-spacing: -0.03em;
  line-height: 0.9em;
}
 
/* change bag icon to cart, from */
/* https://themebynumbers.com/2017/07/04/storefront-change-the-basket-to-a-cart/ */
.site-header-cart .cart-contents:after,
.storefront-handheld-footer-bar ul li.cart > a:before {
  content: "\f07a";
}
 
/* remove homepage categories title. */	
.storefront-product-categories .section-title {display:none;}

Hack to get the copyright line to appear as I want.
