Summary
Pick Lima if…
Pet shops, kids' stores, gift shops and accessories — fun brands whose customers mostly shop on mobile.
Watch out for: Bold color on every section gets tiring; stick to a 2–3 tone palette for consistency.

Fashion, beauty and home brands that want an elegant storefront at no cost, with lots of control over the top of the page.
Watch out for: Because it is so popular, Rio stores can look alike — lean on your own photography and fonts to stand out.
