The Banner 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.

## What this section controls * Images, videos, and other media presentation options * Layout structure, width, alignment, and spacing * Calls to action, links, and navigation behavior * Color schemes, contrast, and shared visual styling * Block types such as Slide ## Getting started In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** -> **Themes** -> **Customize**. Add the **Banner** section to a compatible template or select the existing section from the left sidebar. Start with the structural settings such as layout, width, color scheme, spacing, or content source before refining smaller details. Add, remove, or reorder blocks after the main layout feels right so content hierarchy stays easier to manage.
