Adjust Banner Height

Adjust Images

An essential step is adjusting the size of the first image in the banner area. By clicking on the option for section height, the image will automatically adjust to the future images you wish to use. This dynamic ensures that the visual integrity of your banner is maintained.

Set Desktop Content Position

Next, configure the desktop content position. You have the option to display the text and images on the left, right, or center. A centered position is often the most appealing, but you can determine the alignment according to your taste.

Show Container on Desktop

In addition, there is the option to display a container on desktop. The container element ensures that the text and images stand out better. You can decide whether to activate this function to create a clear border around the content.

Color Design

Colors are crucial for the appearance of your banner. Under the color scheme section, you have the option to choose various accent colors and backgrounds. Experiment with the options to find a shade that suits your shop well.

Mobile Layout

Since many users will access your shop on mobile devices, adjusting the mobile layout is equally important. Here you can decide how the content should be displayed on smartphones, whether it's left, right, or centered. Choose the options and preview them.

Check Responsive Design

Now, check the responsive design of your banner. Click back and forth between desktop and mobile views to ensure that your banner looks good on all devices. Shopify ensures that your design is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes.

Images on Mobile Devices

You can also add multiple images for mobile devices. If you want the banner to display different images on mobile devices, add them accordingly. Here, too, the container ensures an appealing presentation of the text.

Save Changes

Once you have finished making the adjustments, it is important to save all changes. Look for the "Save" button in the upper right corner and click on it. This way, you will secure all the changes made in your Shopify store.
