Sela

Shopify theme · Hebrew-first · RTL

Built in Hebrew.
Not adapted to Hebrew.

Sela is a Shopify theme designed right-to-left from the first line of code. No rtl.css, no RTL app: direction follows the page language, Hebrew fonts ship inside the theme, and search works in Hebrew where Shopify's predictive search does not.

Look at a real Hebrew store

Three demo stores, one theme, running the released version. Open one on your phone, type something in the search box, open the cart and look at a price inside a sentence. Storefront password for all three: ivrit.

What “Hebrew-first” means in practice

Direction from the language

The stylesheet uses logical properties only. Switch the storefront language and the layout follows, from the same code, with no RTL override layer to break on the next update.

Search that works in Hebrew

Shopify's predictive search returns 417 for Hebrew storefronts. Sela routes typed queries to Shopify's regular search instead and shows results from the first letters.

Hebrew fonts inside the theme

Shopify's font library has no Hebrew glyphs. Sela ships seven open-license Hebrew fonts as subsetted, self-hosted woff2 files, chosen in the theme editor.

Bidi-safe numbers

Prices, phone numbers, dates and countdowns are isolated so the digits keep their authored order inside right-to-left text.

WhatsApp built in

A floating WhatsApp button and a click-to-chat teaser are theme sections, with Israeli number conversion and RTL-aware corner logic.

Online Store 2.0, full source

Sections and blocks everywhere, JSON templates, no build step. Three presets switch from the theme editor without reinstalling.

Every claim on this page can be checked in the demo stores. We publish no accessibility-standard or performance figures here; the Hebrew page and the changelog carry what is measured.

Questions

Is Sela an RTL app or a theme?

A theme. There is no app layer and no rtl.css: direction follows the page language in every line of code, and the same code renders left-to-right when the storefront language is English.

Does predictive search work in Hebrew?

Shopify's predictive search API does not support Hebrew (it returns 417 for unsupported buyer locales). Sela does not call it; it routes the typed query to Shopify's regular search and shows the first results in the suggestions panel, from the first letters typed.

Are Hebrew fonts included?

Yes. The Shopify font library covers Latin ranges only, so Sela ships seven open-license Hebrew fonts as self-hosted woff2 files, selectable in the theme editor.

What does the license cover?

One payment of 1,290 ILS incl. VAT. A perpetual license for two published stores (development, test and staging copies are not counted), 12 months of version updates, and 12 months of email support in Hebrew or English. Full refund within 14 days, no questions asked.

Is documentation and support available in English?

Support, yes: write in Hebrew or English and you get an answer in the same language, about either side of your store. The documentation is in Hebrew for now. The theme itself runs in English from the same code, with its own edited English text in the storefront and the theme editor.

Can I try it before buying?

Three demo stores run the released version. The storefront password is "ivrit" for all three.
