Get Started

This tutorial will guide you through 4-easy-steps to build your first custom template using the Easy Content Builder app.

Templates are a collection of sections that are pre-built by Easy Content Builder. Once you add a template to your theme, you can add, edit, reorder, or remove any section to customize your theme.

Before you begin, make sure you add Products, Blog Posts, or Pages depending on which page type you want to create a custom template. Learn how to add a page, a product, and a blog post on Shopify. 

Then follow the steps below to add your first custom template:

Adding your first template

Step 1: Open your page (Product/Blog Post/Pages depending on which page you want to create a custom template)

Step 2: On the Edit page, click on More actions > Create a template

Step 3: Select a pre-built template suggested by the app (then you will be automatically redirected to the Theme Editor)

Step 4: Start adding and editing the app blocks as follows:

4.1. Define your section column layouts by adding/editing the Section Settings block.

You can add many sections per page, each with its column layout (See multi-column layouts examples).

4.2. Add new blocks to that section as you wish (See pre-built sections examples).

Important Note: Always keep the Section Settings at the bottom of each Content Block list.
