Theme Architecture

Brave is built around three core concepts:

1. Sections

Sections are the building blocks of your store. Each section is a self-contained component that you can add, remove, and rearrange in the Theme Editor. Brave includes:

  • Hero Sections — Slideshows, Hero Banners, Split Heroes
  • Product Grids — Editorial Grids, Best Sellers, New Releases
  • Marketing — Shop the Look, Before/After, Benefits
  • Content — FAQ, Reviews, Blog sections
  • Conversion — Product Recommendations, Cart Drawer

2. Blocks

Within each section, blocks allow you to add multiple items. For example:

  • A Slideshow section contains multiple Image Slide or Product Slide blocks
  • An FAQ section contains multiple Question blocks
  • A Benefits section contains multiple Benefit blocks

3. Theme Settings

Global settings that affect your entire store:

  • Typography (fonts and sizes)
  • Color schemes
  • Layout preferences
  • Animation effects
  • Social media links
