What Is Bigcommerce Stencil?
It is a proven fact that the design of your online store has an impact on
its revenue potential. That’s where BigCommerce’s Stencil framework is set to transform the
industry. This is a dynamic theme engine with cleaner development process and flexible
templating systems. The framework makes use of “Handlebars” language, and that lets your
template do multiple things at the same time. Moreover, designers can now design as well as
iterate themes locally, have access to third-party marketplaces, use a powerful theme editor,
and personalize the theme to suit the retailer’s individual needs.
Why Stencil?
Design Philosophy
BigCommerce Stencil presents a solid platform that allows designers to create
aesthetically appealing, highly functional, and robust storefronts that deliver enviable
user experiences on online stores that are hosted on BigCommerce.
New Opportunities
Stencil has opened up a new era of opportunities by presented unprecedented
features to Bigcommerce themes. This includes graphical editor, flexible local development,
potent SASS platform, and much more.
Local Development
It is now possible to develop locally by copying your Stencil theme onto the
local system. Now, you can make any changes you want to with full access to all the assets.
Moreover, you will not interrupt the live site in the process.
Time Saving
Time is money in today’s time, and Stencil saves you a lot of it. If your
Bigcommerce designer have to make any changes to site layouts, you can do that with just a
few clicks. That’s the power of the Stencil framework.
Rich Front-End Development
You need to create intuitive and memorable UIs for you to capture the fancy of
your shoppers. Stencil presents a range of tools for the same, all driven by Javascript
event.
Flexibility
Finally, flexibility is another key distinguisher of BigCommerce Stencil. As
mentioned earlier, it makes use of the “HandleBars” templating language. This makes the
entire process powerful as well as extremely flexible.
Stencil Framework & Components
When compared with the previous template framework of BigCommerce, stencil brings some
fundamental changes to the framework and components. Here’s a brief summary of the same:
Developer Toolkit: The developer toolkit allows the
designers to edit themes at a local level. This can be done without interrupting the live
storefront.
Theme Editor: This aspect of the framework is meant to let
designers make quick customizations to the design of the theme. This doesn’t require coding
knowledge.
Storefront: The storefront allows theme-sellers and
BigCommerce designers to acquire the themes, apply them to storefronts, and edit those; all
of this is hassle-free.
Features Of BigCommerce Stencil: New Theming Engine

site more efficient by loading only that component of the entire site that has is required.

means that it is absolutely possible for you to personalize the view and content of the site
