Giana Boutique is an online ecommerce store. Now, this site, is one of the earliest I ever worked upon.
It was my first time using WooCommerce and second time using WordPress to build a site.

Main customisations were little bits of CSS to tidy some things up -- created child theme based on a theme from [ModernThemes](https://modernthemes.net/) called Exchange.

Now, onto why I used the Exchange theme?
Well, it was pretty much entirely because it was free and I thought it looked okay.
It was free and I felt it was a reasonable looking theme that I could use to get started with setting up a WordPress site to use WooCommerce.
Would I use it again?
Certainly not.
I felt it was difficult to customise, although this may have been at least partly due to my inexperience.
Doesn't really offer much over Storefront, the WooCommerce theme from Automattic???
Doesn't do much to set it above all the other similar looking WooCommerce sites around.
I feel it is perfectly fine for someone wishing to set up a WooCommerce with an acceptable theme quickly with little effort.
Not so good for developers.
