# Accordions

> Configure Everest's accordions section and its main settings, content structure, and styling controls.

The Accordions section lets you control the content, layout, and presentation of this part of the Everest storefront. Most changes happen directly in the Theme Customizer, so you can adjust structure first and then refine styling, spacing, and supporting blocks with confidence.

## Best practices

* Check contrast after changing color schemes so text and controls remain easy to read.
* Review media-heavy layouts on both desktop and mobile before publishing.
* Adjust layout changes alongside neighboring sections so page rhythm stays consistent.
* Start with the structural settings first, then refine decorative styling after the layout feels settled.
* Preview the section with realistic content length to catch spacing and wrapping issues early.
