Is Bodega a good WordPress theme for a small local business?
Bodega is Select-Themes' small business theme, priced at $79 with 3,055 sales and a 4.77 rating. It ships 30 demos drawn for specific trades - cafes, salons, bakeries, studios - rather than as colour variations of one layout, and the demos can be mixed. Its technical signature is animation driven by SVG: line-drawing and border-drawing effects tied to scroll position, which stay sharp at any screen density.
Best for: local businesses - cafes, salons, studios - that want a designed site rather than a template
The Bodega WordPress theme carries a 4.77 rating across 3,055 sales, and Select-Themes updated it on 14 August 2026. Moreover, its 30 demos are drawn for specific trades rather than recoloured from one master layout.
Thirty demos, actually different
The demo set covers cafes, bakeries, salons, studios, restaurants and small shops, and each one is designed around how that business presents itself. Furthermore, the demos can be combined, so a salon can borrow a shop page from another set. Consequently, one licence handles a range of local-business briefs.
SVG animation instead of image effects
Bodega’s signature is line-drawing and border-drawing animation built from SVG. In addition, those animations are controlled by scroll position rather than triggered on page load, which is exactly what a parallax collection is looking for. As a result, the effects stay razor sharp on any screen density and weigh far less than image-based alternatives.
Blog and shop in the same theme
Three blog layouts ship with the theme, and shop elements can be dropped into a blog page or built out into a full store. Therefore a bakery can run a story-led blog and sell boxes from the same site. Meanwhile, WooCommerce 10.x and WPML cover shops and multilingual businesses.
Is $79 too much for a local business?
For a single-location shop, possibly. However, Bodega replaces the design work that would otherwise be quoted separately, and its 4.77 rating suggests buyers felt the same. Reviewing 30 demos takes an afternoon – budget for that before you start.

How many demos does Bodega include?
Thirty, each designed for a specific kind of small business rather than being a colour variation of one layout.
