Building a Page with Sections, Blocks & Items
Before you begin building your own page, we’re going to discuss the building blocks that make up a page’s structure:
Sections, which are made up of Blocks, which contain Items.
-
Sections - Sections are the highest level of structure on a page. They span the width of the page and allow you to add in blocks and items of your choosing. Each section has its own settings that allow you to customize it to your needs.
NOTE: We have provided you with done-for-you preset sections that you can easily add to your page in seconds, rather than building from scratch to help you streamline your building process. Each section is completely customizable.
