As discussed in our [Website builder page](https://littlebigshop.com.au/a-user-friendly-website-builder-for-australian-small-business/), each store comes with a default 'Shop' page and the option to add and customise the following pages:

Keep scrolling down to view the wide range of templates to choose from.

To add a section template, drag it into the template and drop it where you would like it to appear. Use the green lines as a guide where to drop it.

Each section templates is customisable and contains editing options to help you achieve the look and feel you're after. Here's a run-down of a few of the options:

**Font Size:** The number '40' indicates the font size, which can be changed.

**Paragraph Format:** The 'Heading 1' drop-down menu provides options to set the text format (e.g., headings, normal text).

- Once satisfied, click 'Publish' to make your changes live!

### Link maintenance

If you promote specific products in your section templates, remember to update these panels and links according to their availability. For example, if a product is promoted on the home page and it has been sold, the section templates should be removed or updated with an available product.

### Tips

- Plan your pages: What do you want to display on your home page? Your mission? New products? Highlight that everything is Australian made?
- Keep it simple: Ensure your content is clear and easy to readnby not overloading the panel with too many elements
- Enhance promotions by adding relevant images and links directly within the section templates to make navigation smoother for your users

## Section templates allow for flexibility when building and customising your website.
