As you can see, we're constantly updating our product to make sure that its value is growing for our users. This time we're making some cosmetic updates, which will make starting up a shop with MageCloud a lot easier. These updates also offer more options for visual enhancement of stores, hosted at MageCloud.

With our first update of 2016 we're adding some functionality to the themes that are available through MageCloud. First of all, we're making them publicly available through our Marketplace. This means that you no longer have to register before picking a theme for your website. You can browse through the Marketplace, see if you find something appropriate for your future store and then register to launch the store. This should make the service more transparent and accessible for users.

The themes also come with pre-installed extensions, depending on the kind of business niche they're aimed at. For example, themes that include marketplace functionality might have drop-shipping extensions and other useful products already installed. This should make launching a store even more easy for the non-tech users and for people, who simply don't want to spend that much time preparing the store for launch.

We're also launching a number of new themes, like Cleo from our partner - Weltpixel. 

This is a great responsive fashion theme that comes at an affordable price and a ton of great features, which are designed to make your life, as a site admin, a lot easier. Including, but not limited to:

 One-click import

 50+ CMS blocks

 High customizable lead generation tools, like newsletter signup forms

 CSS3 controls (animation on/off, etc.) and error page customization options

Not to mention that this theme is absolutely visually stunning. Of course, you can change it however you like with our Theme Editor, built into the system. This should make even the basic changes to the look and feel of the theme a lot easier. 

More functionality is coming soon, as we're getting out of our winter holidays slumber.
