## Quick setup

For your about page, you first need to **create a page** and **assign the about template** in your Shopify admin. Then, in the theme editor, you can **customize the page template** using the preset theme sections.

> **Tip |** Check out Shopify's blog post about [what to include in your "About Us" page](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/pages#about-us).

### Create page and assign template

In your Shopify admin, you need to create a page and assign the about template.

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:green;">**Shopify**</mark> Pages are a Shopify feature: see Shopify's guide for [creating pages](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/pages).
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

In your **Shopify admin**:

1. Click **Online store > Pages**.
2. Click **Add page**.
3. Add a **Title** (e.g. "About us").

   > The title will be used for the page URL (e.g. **`www.store.com/about-us`**).

   > You don't need to add anything to the **Content** field. You will add page content by editing the about template in the theme editor.

4. \[*Optional*] Under **Visibility**, you can click **Hidden** if you don't want to publish the page to your live site yet.
5. Click the **Theme template** menu and select **about** to assign the template.

   > **Note**: Templates can't be assigned on unpublished themes. Your changes to templates will be saved and can be assigned when you buy and publish the theme.
6. Click **Save**.

### Edit about page template

The default **about page template** includes preset theme sections designed to highlight your store's values, introduce your team, and provide store details and contact info.

We recommend first editing the preset sections and hiding any sections you won't use. Then, you can add other theme sections to further customize your page.
