Overview

Redefine provides sections and blocks to add elements into the store's pages. Instead of spending time recreating the same elements for every page, use these templates to build your pages fast and conveniently.

Theme structure​

A typical store has different types of pages, like product and blog post pages. Redefine provides a convenient template for each type of page. For example:

  • the Home page template defines what’s displayed on your store’s homepage.
  • the Default product page template defines what’s displayed on product pages, etc.

The theme's templates are made of sections and blocks.

  • Section. Within a template, section is a container for an area of content. Such as header or footer is called a section.
  • Block. A block is an element of content inside a section, such as a product, a video, an app, or an image with text.
note
