Modular is a premium Shopify theme from Presidio, built around flexible, rearrangeable sections that let a store design its own layout without code, which is where the name comes from. It holds a 96% positive rating from 224 on the Shopify Theme Store, and in our detection data it runs on 0.1% of the 3.5M+ Shopify stores we track, with 64.3% of real stores passing Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n

The verdict upfront: Modular is a well-liked, versatile theme that suits food, beauty and jewelry brands wanting a distinctive, build-it-yourself layout, and its rating reflects that. The honest weak point is speed. On real-world Core Web Vitals it passes at a rate below the median for themes we have reviewed, and its median load time is slower than lighter themes, so the flexibility comes with weight you have to manage. At $300 it is a premium, paid theme, so budget for both the cost and the optimization the design invites.<\/p>\n

What is Modular?<\/h2>\n

Modular is a paid theme from Presidio, a studio that builds several Shopify themes rather than a single template. Its idea is in the name: the storefront is assembled from flexible sections you can add, reorder and restyle, so a store can build a distinctive layout without touching code. Five presets, Modular, Companion, Pattern, Sparkling and Kiln, give different visual starting points, and the design leans playful and media-forward, which is why it shows up on food, drink and beauty brands that want personality rather than a plain grid.<\/p>\n

It is a one-time purchase, the norm for Theme Store themes, and it targets brands that treat their storefront as part of the product. Here is how widely Modular is detected across Shopify.<\/p>\n
