Custom Liquid Sections: When a Theme Is Not Enough

What a custom section is

A section is a reusable block of layout with settings in the theme editor. Custom ones add exactly the layouts your brand needs.

• Editable in the theme editor
• Reusable across pages
• Lighter than many apps

When to build one

If you keep fighting the theme or paying for an app that does one small thing, a custom section is often cleaner and faster.

• Special product layouts
• Comparison tables and bundles
• Landing page building blocks

What good code looks like

Scoped CSS, lazy-loaded media, accessible markup and sensible defaults so the section works the first time you add it.

• Follows Dawn conventions
• Responsive on all devices
• Documented for your team
