Is Shopify even a CMS? Need a Shopify Pro

Hello again guys,

I am building a simple shopify web store and I have come into a problem.

The homepage has been finished, and it looks great. But is Shopify even a CMS? I know this is not the Shopify forum page (I can't log into it, very buggy) But there does not seem to be anyway to edit the homage unless through the code.

So is Shopify a CMS for built websites or is it a CMS for use only with Themes made for Shopify?

Thanks for any help!

Hey Adam!

I'm well versed in Shopify and a huge fan as well.

Looking for new development projects, this sounds like something I could definitely help you with. Reach out anytime to me - hello@saramote.com

Thank Sara will send me question over to you!

This is so old that you've probably already figured it out, but any "builtin" changes to the homepage can be changed in the theme settings, or through code for the index page (Hey! I work for Shopify, you can email/live chat/phone in with any questions whenever too)

I've found it fairly flexible to work with (although I'm still a big fan of WordPress too, but I find Liquid much easier than php)
