Hero Video

The Hero Video section creates a stunning full-width hero banner with a background video that automatically plays, loops, and stays muted—perfect for homepage hero sections, landing pages, or any spot where you want to make a bold, dynamic visual statement that captures attention immediately. The video plays seamlessly in the background without controls, creating that cinematic, immersive experience that draws visitors in and sets a powerful tone for your page. You can add an optional color overlay with adjustable opacity to help text and content stand out against busy or fast-moving video footage, and the content area can hold any combination of blocks—headings, descriptions, buttons, or any other content you want to overlay on top of the video. Everything is fully customizable through Shopify's Theme Customizer—adjust heights, padding, spacing, overlay colors, and all the styling with no coding required—and it works seamlessly with any Shopify 2.0 theme like Dawn or Horizon, making it ideal for creating those impactful, full-screen hero banners with motion that grab attention and create an unforgettable first impression.

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.
