Home page Design Option
Every section of the homepage — banners, product rows, colors, the newsletter box — is edited from one screen in the admin panel. No code, no developer needed.
Quick start
Store Design › Homepage Section Layout. This is the hub — everything else opens from here.
Drag cards between Page Order and Hidden to show or hide a section. Drag within Page Order to reorder.
Click the gear on any card to jump straight into that section's own settings.
Leave a field blank to hide it on the storefront — that's the rule almost everywhere on this page.
The control hub
› Homepage Section Layout
This screen shows every section of the homepage as a card, in the order it appears on the page. It's the only place you need to remember — every other settings screen in this guide is one click away from here.
Page Order is what's currently live, top to bottom. Hidden is everything switched off. Drag a card between the two lists to show or hide it; drag within Page Order to move it up or down. Nothing goes live until you're happy with the arrangement — the storefront updates as soon as you drop a card.
Each card carries a colored badge (Promo Zone, Icon Strip, Image Carousel, Newsletter, or Content Block) telling you what kind of section it is, and a small gear icon in the corner. Click the gear to open that section's settings directly — you never need to hunt for the right screen.
Two buttons sit at the top of this page: Theme Colors (site-wide colors, covered below) and Manage Content Blocks (for building new custom sections).
Banners & product rows
Homepage Promo Zones
Most of the homepage — both hero banners, Hot Deals, Flash Sale, the Recommended tabs, the Featured/Top Selling/On-sale columns, and Daily Best Sellers — is built from the same kind of editor, just repeated for each section. Fields you leave blank simply don't show up on the storefront; there's no "disabled" checkbox to hunt for.
- Zone NameAdmin reference only — never shown to customers. Whatever you name it here is what appears on its card back in Homepage Section Layout.
- HeadlineShown above the section's products, where the section supports one. Blank hides it.
- Title / Subtitle / TagSmaller supporting text — labels vary slightly by section. Blank hides each one independently.
- Background ImageShown behind the section. Starts on a default image until you upload your own.
- Button Text / LinkBlank button text hides the button entirely, link and all.
- Product CountHow many products this section shows in total.
- Curated productsThe table below the settings — add a ProductID and a sort number to pin specific products in a specific order. Anything you haven't curated is filled in with newest-in-stock products automatically, so a section is never left half-empty.
- Random-Fill Group / CategoryRestricts that automatic fill-in to one department or category. A Group takes priority if both are set; leave both on "Any" for no restriction.
- Product SourceManual (the default) uses the curated products and fill-in above for everyone. Reorder History and Recommended only change anything for a signed-in customer — they replace the curated list with that customer's own past orders or related categories. Logged-out visitors always see Manual.
Category icon strip
This is the row of round category icons near the top of the page. This settings screen controls its styling only — the icons themselves, and which categories appear, come from your Category/Department admin, not from here.
- NameAdmin reference only.
- Full Section Background ColorBlank keeps today's transparent background.
- Icon Badge BackgroundThe color of the circle behind each icon.
- Icon ColorOnly affects icons set as a text/icon class in Category admin — has no effect on uploaded images or SVGs, since those already carry their own color.
- Icon Badge ShapeCircle, rounded square, or square.
Shop by brand
The sliding row of brand logos. Same split as the icon strip: this screen sets the heading and look of the section, while the logo images and their links are managed in Banner Manager, filed under whichever Image Group you point this section at.
- NameAdmin reference only.
- Title / SubtitleBlank hides each independently.
- Background ColorBehind the whole section.
- Image GroupWhich Banner Manager placement group this carousel pulls its logo images from.
Newsletter signup
The email signup band, usually at the bottom of the page. The signup form and email capture are already built in — this screen is purely the look and copy around it.
- NameAdmin reference only.
- Title / SubtitleBlank hides each independently.
- Section Background ColorBlank keeps today's default.
- Button ColorBlank keeps today's default.
- Button TextThe one exception to "blank hides it" on the whole homepage — this button submits the signup form, so it always shows something. Leave it blank and it falls back to "Signup now" instead of disappearing.
- Side ImageStarts on a default image until you upload your own.
Theme colors
(top of Homepage Section Layout)
One screen, four groups, applies site-wide across the homepage rather than section by section.
- Heading / Title ColorBlank uses the theme default.
- Body Text ColorBlank uses the theme default.
- Add to Cart ButtonsBackground and text color, used everywhere an Add to Cart button appears on the homepage.
- "Save XX%" RibbonBackground and text color for the discount ribbon shown on sale products.
- Featured / Top Selling / On-sale Title BoxBackground color behind that section's heading. Blank uses the theme default.
Content blocks
(top of Homepage Section Layout)
For adding an entirely new custom section — an About Us blurb, a services list, a text-and-image banner — that isn't one of the built-in sections above. Pick a template, fill it in, and save.
Not wired up yet
Two sections currently have no gear icon and no settings screen — their text and coupon code are hardcoded in the page template rather than pulled from the admin panel:
- $5 Off BannerThe pair of green/pink offer cards. Fixed copy, fixed coupon reference.
- Coupon Code BannerThe dashed-border strip with the copyable code
