Text columns with images

Theme section

The Text columns with images displays multiple columns of text blocks with feature images, great for highlighting your values, how your company works, or explaining key elements of your product.

Set up section

Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.

Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or use metafields and dynamic sources.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Select a Template to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.

   Learn how to use templates in our Templates guide.

2. Under Template, click (+) Add section and select Text columns with images.

3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ to re-order your sections.

Add column blocks

Add up to 8 Columns with a featured image, headings, and a call-to-action button.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click (+) Add Column and/or click on the Column block you wish to edit.

2. Under Image, click Select image to upload an image or icon to display at the top of the column.

   We recommend a 160px x 160px .png image and that all images are the same shape and size.

   If you would like to add an icon, there are plenty of sites that offer high-quality icons in many styles, like The Noun Project and Iconfinder.

3. Adjust the Max image width using the slider

4. Change the Heading text.

   We recommended a short title of just a few words.

5. Change the Subheading text.

   We recommend two to three short sentences.

   We also recommend trying to keep the subheading text for all Columns around the same length.

6. Adjust the Max width of text of the Column text using the slider.

   The width will need to be adjusted when there are two columns per row on desktop.

   Experiment with this setting to find a clean visual shape for your text.

7. Add a Link and Link text to display a call-to-action button underneath the column.

   The most effective button labels ask customers to do something (e.g. Get started, Join us, Shop now). To learn more, read "What is a Call to Action?"

8. (Optional.) Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮ to rearrange the blocks:

   

   Click Remove block in the block settings to delete a block.

   Click the Eye icon to hide or unhide a block.

9. Click Save.

Add call-to-action button

You can link to you collections or products or any other page with a custom call-to-action button.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click on the Text columns with images section to open the section settings.

2. Select or paste a URL for the Link.

3. Change the Link text to display on the button.

   The most effective button labels ask customers to do something (e.g. Get started, Join us, Shop now). To learn more, read "What is a Call to Action?"

4. Click Save.

Section headings and style

Add section headings to display above the columns and adjust the style and layout of the whole section.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click on the Text columns with images section to open the section settings.

2. (Optional.) Use the Section style dropdown to use Contrast colors.

   The Contrast style uses the contrast colors in your Theme Settings.

3. Choose whether to Enable animation to show visual effects when scrolling, hovering, or interacting with the section.

4. Select the number of Columns per row to display.

   Choose between 1 and 4 columns per row.

5. Add a Small heading, Heading, and Subheading text.

   These optional fields are displayed as a header above your columns.

6. Select the Alignment to display the content on the Left or in the Center of the section.

7. Use the Max width of text slider to control the maximum width of the headings.

   Use this setting to create a clean visual shape for your text and avoid unwanted line breaks.

8. Click Save
