Best practices

Use for simple pages

main-page is ideal for basic content pages. For more complex layouts, add sections above/below or use page-banner section.

Hide title for custom layouts

Keep title disabled (default) when using page-banner or other title-bearing sections to avoid duplication.

Show title for clarity

Enable title for standard pages (About, Contact, Policies) where clear identification helps users orient themselves.

Add custom sections

Enhance pages by adding sections above/below main-page section in template editor for richer layouts.
