Store pages - such as About Us, Contact Us, Store Policies pages, etc - are important for building trust with your customers.

You can create webpages in your Shopify admin, then add rich content blocks using the Easy Content Builder by following the steps below:

Create a new template for a Single store page with the ECB app

NOTE: We highly recommend you create three Clean templates first, each for a type of page - Product page, store page, and Blog Post page. Once created, you will have three Clean template files with the .clean suffix (product.clean.json, page.clean.json, article.clean.json).

Learn more about What a Clean template is and How to create a Clean template.

Step 1: Create a new store page

  • From your Shopify admin, click Pages (under the Sales channels section)
  • Then click Add page.
  • Enter a title and content for the page.
  • Click Save (by default your new page will be visible when you click Save).

Step 2: Create a template for the store page

  • From the Webpage Edit page, click More actions (that appears in the upper-right of the form), click Create Template for this page: Create webpages.jpg
  • From Easy Content Builder dashboard, you can create a new template based on:
    • Select a prebuilt page template provided by the Easy Content Builder app.
    • Select from available templates of the main theme (if created before): This option is only visible if you did build templates using the Easy Content Builder app before. It allows you to speed up the workflow by reusing those templates. Please note this option is available when you upgrade to the Pro version.
    • Or create your own template from scratch.

  • Based on: Select Default template or any available template created before.
