Inova is one of two design presets bundled with the Concept Shopify theme<\/strong> by RoarTheme, priced at $400 as a one-time purchase. It is a stripped-back, minimalist style built around generous whitespace, restrained typography, and product photography that carries most of the visual weight. Inova is the preset most buyers of Concept end up researching separately, because its design philosophy is different enough from the default Concept preset that the decision to use it is really about whether the aesthetic fits your brand.<\/p>\n

This review focuses only on the Inova preset: the visual language, the layout defaults, real performance data from live stores, who the preset genuinely fits, and where it will hold you back. If you want a broader look at everything Concept ships with, the Concept theme review covers the full feature list.<\/p>\n

What Is the Inova Preset?<\/h2>\n

Inova is a preset (also called a style) inside the Concept Shopify theme. RoarTheme sells Concept for $400 and includes two presets: Concept (the bolder, higher-density default) and Inova (the minimalist alternative). Both share the same underlying code, the same feature set, and the same 50+ Shopify OS 2.0 sections. The difference sits entirely in the visual defaults: typography scale, grid density, color palette, and the way each preset uses whitespace.<\/p>\n

When you install Concept, you can toggle between the two presets from the theme editor. So if you buy Concept for the Inova look, you also get the default Concept preset as an option, and you can switch between them without buying a second license. Latest release as of writing is version 5.3.3 (May 2026), which focused on storefront performance and translation fixes.<\/p>\n
