Common customization

Below are common customization you might want to start with:

Add Section Settings block

You should always add a Section Settings first. Why you need this block:

  • To determine your ideal layouts (1-column, 2-column, 3-column, 4-column, or hierarchical layouts)
  • And to control your global configurations (full-width layout, mask color, mask image, background video, parallax animation, etc.)
*Learn how to add a Section Settings block: read the setup guide.
Add new content blocks within a section

Blocks refer to the prebuilt content blocks the Easy Content Builder app provides, such as Accordion, Before & After Slider, Video, Featured Products, Custom HTML, etc. Each template can have multiple sections, and each section has a specific variety of blocks you can add.

After adding a Section Settings, you can add any content blocks made available to the section you've created.

Learn how to add a block to your section: read the setup guide.
Adjust the padding/margin of each section

The Easy Content Builder lets you adjust the space (padding and margin) between elements at two levels:

  • Section Settings level: refers to the global padding configurations for a section.
  • Block level: refers to the padding/margin of a specific block within a section (One section might come with multiple blocks in it.)
