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.
See Lima theme details →Pick Simple if…
Small apparel, fashion and sports brands that want a good-looking store without configuring dozens of sections.
Watch out for: It has fewer content modules than Recife or Brasilia, so it is not ideal for very large catalogs.
