Content blocks settings

This section includes a wide range of blocks for customization. In our theme, it is used across different layouts and adapted to various design ideas.


Content Blocks Sections: In most layouts, the sections typically begin with a divider line, a subheading, and a spacer. These elements are added before other blocks to create visual separation, hierarchy, and proper spacing across the layout.


Example 1: A short story about a product and its creation process. This layout features multiple blocks, with the main structure Row block divided into three columns.

  • First Column: Contains a spacer (making the image appear lower than other blocks) and a Team Member block with an image.
  • Second Column: Includes a heading, text, and button, with spacer blocks between elements to adjust spacing.
  • Third Column: Another Team Member block displaying a second image.


Example 2: Company Timeline — This layout presents a timeline illustrating how the company’s journey began and evolved over time. The content blocks are organized within a main Row block containing two columns:

  • First Column: Contains a main heading.
  • Second Column: Includes a Timeline Group block that visually displays the company’s milestones.


Example 3: Team Members Layout — This layout is designed to showcase team members, including their name, position, and a link to their LinkedIn profile.

The main structure is a Row block with three columns:

  • First Column: Contains a heading.
  • Second Column: Includes three Team Member blocks, with spacer blocks between them to adjust spacing.
  • Third Column: Mirrors the second column, with additional Team Member blocks and spacers between each element.


Example 4: FAQ Layout — This layout is designed for displaying frequently asked questions and answers. It includes:

  • A main Heading block within the Content Blocks section.
  • A spacer for proper spacing.
  • A divider added five times, once before each collapsible content block, for clear visual separation.
  • Five collapsible content blocks, each containing a question and answer, allowing users to expand or collapse content as needed.


Example 5: Two headings blocks — The first heading is on the left with default alignment, while the second heading uses custom right alignment. Both headings use the Hero style, creating a visually striking effect. The left and right headings appear at the top of a background image, which is added through the General Content Blocks section settings.


Example 6: Reading Text Block — In the demo store, the text scrolls inside a container, and the progress is visually indicated as you read. Initially, the text appears grey; as you scroll and read through the content, it gradually changes to white to highlight the portion that has been read.


Example 7: This layout features two columns. The left column includes heading, text, and button blocks, while the right column contains a Product Card Hotspot block. A product background image and product image are added, allowing users to review the product by clicking the hotspot. Depending on the settings, the product opens either in a quick-view popup or on the product detail page.


Example 8: Scrolling gallery block with autoplay and continuous scroll
