Theme sections
Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
Theme sections are an easy way to design your store's pages without using any code. Sections are the basic components of your pages. You can add, edit, and rearrange sections to create different layouts with the content and features you want.
Context has sections with different content blocks, layouts, and features. Find a list of static sections and dynamic sections below.
Note: If you're looking for a general introduction to using and editing sections, see our theme editor guide instead.
