Page layouts: arrange your pages with blocks

Open My store → Layouts. This is where you decide what appears on each page of your store: the header, the home page sections, the footer and more. You need a screen at least 1024 pixels wide to edit.

How a page is built

  • Choose the Page at the top: Default (Catch-all) applies to every page that has no layout of its own; you can add pages such as the home page, category pages or product pages with Add layout page.
  • Each page is split into areas, top to bottom: Top bar (a thin strip above the header), Header, Page content, and Footer. The top bar, header and footer are usually shared by every page; Page content is only on that page.
  • Each area has Rows. Each row has Columns (for example two columns: 58% and 42%). Each column holds Blocks.
  • Page content (built-in) is where the page's own content goes (the product details on a product page, the cart on the cart page). Keep it on those pages.

Add a block

  1. Click Add Block in a column (or Add Row for a new row first).
  2. Search the block library: try "banner", "menu", "products" or "cart". Popular blocks:
    • Hero Banner — a big image with a headline and a button;
    • Banner Slider, Banners, Banner (composer) and Promo Grid;
    • Products, Featured Products, Recent Products and Product Tabs — rows or grids of products;
    • Shop by Category, Category Slider, Brands, Testimonials, Blog Posts, Shoppable Videos, Trust Badges;
    • Announcement Bar, Heading, Text / HTML, Spacer, Divider, Custom HTML;
    • header and footer blocks: Store Logo, Search Bar, Navigation Menu, Category Mega-Menu Bar, Account Menu, Cart Menu, Wishlist Icon, Footer Link Column, Social Links, Payment Badges, Newsletter Signup, Contact Info, Copyright Bar.
  3. Click the block to open its settings: its content (titles, images, which products) and display options.

Change and arrange

  • Drag blocks to move them, or use Move up / Move down.
  • Visibility hides a block, or shows it only on Desktop, Tablet or Mobile. Visible to limits it to certain customer groups.
  • Delete a block, column or row from its menu.

Changes save automatically and appear on your live store straight away. You can undo a deletion, and History lists every change. Preview shows the page before you look at the real store.
