Shopify Store Theme Change & Setup Restoration

I need a Shopify expert to help change the theme of my Shopify online store. The job involves not just changing the theme, but also restoring all our applications and setups (like shipment methods, goods weights costs, fees, taxes, automatic confirmation emails etc) in the new theme.

The project will involve customizing all theme elements, including:
- Homepage layout
- Product page layout
- Navigation menu

While I don't have a specific theme in mind, I do need recommendations for suitable Shopify themes.

The ideal freelancer for this project should have:
- Extensive experience with Shopify
- A strong understanding of eCommerce themes and layouts
- Excellent communication skills for explaining theme recommendations
- Ability to meticulously replicate previous store settings in the new theme.

Please note, there may be some additional configurations needed on the main pages and product pages after the initial setup.
