Section styles give you full control over the appearance of each section on your site. Whether you're designing a clean landing page or a bold promotional block, you can fine-tune every detail — from colors and layout to animations and borders — all within the section editor.

To change a section's style:

  1. Open your site in the Editor.

  2. Hover over the section you want to edit.

  3. Click the edit icon in the top right corner of the section.

  4. In the panel that opens on the right, click the Style tab (paint bucket icon) at the top.

  5. Use the available options to adjust the layout and visual styling. All changes apply instantly.

Handy tip:

Click the snap icon to move the section editor between the left and right sides of your screen.
