Hero Slideshow
The Hero Slideshow section creates a full-width, rotating hero carousel with one slide visible at a time—ideal for homepage banners, campaign launches, or any spot where you want multiple hero messages in a single section. Add Hero slide blocks inside the Hero slideshow layout, each with its own background image, optional color overlay, subheading, heading, description, and call-to-action button. Position content anywhere on the slide (top, center, or bottom in nine alignment options), control text alignment and color, and set custom or hug slide heights with separate desktop and mobile minimums. The slideshow supports dot pagination, navigation arrows (middle overlay or bottom-right), autoplay with custom timing, loop, and touch dragging—all configurable in the Theme Editor. Control section width (fixed, full, or theme-native containers for Dawn, Horizon, or custom themes), section background colors or images with overlay, spacing, and scroll animations without writing any code. It works with any Shopify 2.0 theme and is perfect for rotating promotions, seasonal campaigns, or multi-message homepage heroes.

Why Use Flexi Sections?
Designed to Feel Native Flexi sections are built to inherit your theme’s structure and styles, so they blend in naturally instead of feeling bolted on. Spend less time overriding CSS and more time shipping polished layouts that feel intentional.
Prebuilt, Not Prescriptive Each section provides a production-ready foundation without locking you into rigid layouts. Configure content, spacing, and structure to match your client’s needs—without rebuilding the same patterns from scratch.
Theme-First Customization All styling and layout adjustments happen through the Shopify Theme Editor. Tweak typography, spacing, alignment, and behavior using familiar theme controls, just like native sections.
Built for Performance & SEO Flexi sections are optimized for real storefronts, not demos. Lightweight markup and thoughtful defaults help keep pages fast, stable, and search-friendly across devices.
Works Across Any Shopify Theme Flexi sections work with any Shopify 2.0 theme, including Dawn, Horizon, and custom builds. Test safely on duplicate themes and ship with confidence.
Easy to Maintain Over Time Once a section is in place, it’s easy to manage. Update content, swap images, or adjust layout directly in the Shopify admin—no fragile custom code or one-off fixes to maintain later.
Built for Reuse Across Projects Flexi is designed for builders shipping real work. Reuse the same section patterns across client projects to stay consistent, move faster, and avoid unnecessary technical debt.
