Sections

Every section has a Color scheme and, in most cases, Top padding and Bottom padding. Padding is the size on a wide screen and scales down on smaller ones. Side padding sets the space at the left and right: Page margin (the width in Theme settings > Layout), None (edge to edge) or Custom, with its own Left padding and Right padding. On phones the side padding never goes wider than the page margin.

Headings can be moved and resized too:

  • Heading layout (Featured collection, Collection list, Blog posts, Collage, Ingredient list, Product numbers, Video, Article products, Multicolumn): Text beside heading, Text below heading or Centered.
  • Text alignment (Image with text, Image with products, Collection spotlight, FAQ, Contact form, Feature list, Routine, Routine quiz, Timeline, Page header): left, center or right for the heading, text and button blocks.
  • Heading size and Heading alignment (collection, search, page, article, blog, collections list and cart pages, plus Related products, Complementary products and Apps): size as a percentage of the theme’s heading size, aligned left or center.
  • Heading blocks keep their own Size (Small, Medium, Large); Image banner, Slideshow, Rich text and Quote already have their own position and alignment settings. Most sections are built from blocks: drag blocks to reorder them, and use the eye icon to hide one.

Many sections share three blocks:

  • Heading: text, Size (Small, Medium, Large, Extra large) and Start italic text on a new line, which puts the words after a line break in italics.
  • Text: a short paragraph.
  • Button: label, link and Style (Arrow button, Primary, Secondary, Underlined link). Write [count] in a label to show the number of products.
