Overview

Based on how a section is created, there are two types of sections: Basic sections and Built sections.

All basic sections​

Basic sections are sections created by using Add section in the Editor. They are entirely composed of available blocks added inside them. In reality, all Basic sections use the same Liquid file section.liquid, they only differ from each other by the blocks inside it. All basic sections share the same set of section settings.

Section usage strategy​

Here are some ways to use the sections on your store

  • Homepage: Start with Hero for brand introduction → Feature Collection for product showcase → Image with Text Button for brand story → Testimonial for social proof → Email Signup for conversion.
  • Product Page: Use Specification for technical details → Shop the Look for styling inspiration → Customer Review for social proof → Feature Collection for related products.
  • Collection Pages: Use Banner Custom for collection branding → Feature Collection with Product for main display → Shop the Look for styling ideas → Specification for product comparisons.

Make sure that you arrange sections to guide user attention from awareness to consideration to conversion throughout the page flow. Also, try maintaining consistent styling across sections using global theme settings and color schemes for cohesive experiences.
