Rich Text Section

Getting started

1

Add the section

From the Theme Customizer, click Add section and select Richtext
2

Add content blocks

Add Heading, Content, and/or Link blocks as needed (each limited to 1 per section)
3

Configure layout

Set text alignment, adjust max width and section width, and configure spacing for your page design

Section settings

Dropdown (default: Center)Controls horizontal alignment of all text content in the section:
  • Start (Left): Left-aligned text
  • Center: Centered text (default, works well for focused content)
  • End (Right): Right-aligned text
Center alignment is most common for rich text sections as it creates a focused, editorial feel.
Dropdown (default: Wide)Controls the maximum width of the text content area:
  • Default: Narrower, more focused reading width (optimal for readability)
  • Wide: Wider content area for more expansive text
Default width is recommended for long-form content as it keeps line length optimal for reading (~60-80 characters per line).
Dropdown (default: Full)Controls the overall section container width:
  • Narrow: Tighter container (medium width)
  • Full: Full-width container (edge-to-edge)
Best practices:
  • Use Narrow with center alignment for focused, editorial content
  • Use Full when Rich Text is part of a broader page layout
Checkbox (default: unchecked)Adds a decorative element (typically a small graphic or line) to enhance the visual appeal of the section.
Dropdown (default: Compact)Controls vertical spacing above and below the section on desktop:
  • Default: Standard spacing
  • Medium: Moderate spacing
  • Compact: Minimal spacing (recommended for text sections)
  • None: No spacing for seamless layouts
Dropdown (default: Default)Controls vertical spacing above and below the section on mobile:
  • Default: Standard mobile spacing (recommended)
  • Compact: Reduced spacing
  • None: No spacing

Block types

Heading block

Limit: 1 per section
Textarea (default: “Talk about your brand”)Main heading for the rich text section. Supports multiple lines.Keep concise (3-7 words) for section headings.

Content block

Limit: 1 per section
Rich text editor (default: “Share information about your brand…”)Full-featured rich text content with formatting options:
  • Bold and italic text
  • Headings (H1-H6)
  • Bullet and numbered lists
  • Links
  • Paragraphs
Use for long-form content, brand stories, product descriptions, or any formatted text.
Limit: 1 per section

Best practices

Optimal line length

Use Default max width (not Wide) for long-form content. Shorter line lengths (~60-80 characters) improve readability.

Center for focus

Center-aligned text works best for standalone rich text sections. Use left alignment when rich text is part of a larger layout.

One of each block

Add exactly one Heading, one Content, and one Link block for complete sections. Each block is optional but limited to 1.

Rich text formatting

Use Content block formatting (bold, lists, headings) to break up long text and guide readers through your content.

Narrow + Center

Combine Narrow section width with Center text alignment for highly focused, editorial-style content display.

Compact spacing

Use Compact spacing (default) for text sections that should flow naturally without excessive whitespace.

Skip the link

Not every rich text section needs a CTA link. Skip the Link block for pure informational content.

Decoration sparingly

Enable decoration for special sections (About, Brand Story) but keep it off for utilitarian content (Policies, FAQs).

Common use cases
