Sections reference ​

Prismatic ships 33 drop-in sections plus the header, footer, and announcement bar — 52 section files in total — built on the thermal-base substrate. Sections are grouped into layout, marketing, product, and content categories. Every section is documented with its settings, blocks, and intended use.

Layout ​

Sections that live in the global header and footer groups. Configure once; they apply across every template.

  • Header — Site header with navigation, mega menu, logo, search, account, cart.
  • Footer — Navigation columns, brand block, newsletter, payment icons, brand-mark watermark.
  • Announcement bar — Rotating promotional strip above the header.

Marketing ​

Product ​

Sections specific to product pages and product-discovery surfaces.

Custom ​

  • Custom Liquid — Liquid or HTML block for one-off composition needs.

Theme blocks ​

Sections marked as taking theme blocks accept a shared block library, reorderable per section instance:

  • Heading — heading text, semantic size (h1–h4), display size (none/sm/md/lg/xl), alignment, color, and a highlight effect (italic, underline, accent, outline) applied to a chosen phrase.
  • Subheading — short label with optional icon shape and alignment. Renders in the monospace label register.
  • Text — rich text with alignment and size.
  • Caption — small caption text.
  • Button — label, link, style (primary/secondary/link), size.
  • Image — standalone image with aspect ratio, width, link.
  • Video — standalone video or external URL with cover image.
  • Rich text — heading + text pair.
  • Details (collapsible) — a single collapsible summary/content pair.
  • Divider — horizontal rule with width, thickness, color.
  • Spacer — vertical spacing, set per breakpoint.
  • Custom Liquid — raw Liquid embed.

The display size setting on the Heading block is the theme's signature move: it renders the heading at the oversized display scale (up to poster size) while keeping the chosen heading tag for semantics.

Composition notes ​

Every section ships with a color_scheme picker. Alternating schemes hard from section to section is the primary register lever — and which schemes you alternate is a preset decision. The Prismatic preset runs nine riso brights on cream; see Presets for what it defines.

Every section has independent top and bottom padding controls (0–160px). The default spacing is intentional but not universal — poster-dense homepages and long-form editorial pages want different cadences.

Sections that take blocks ship with sensible block defaults out of the preset. You can reorder, remove, or add blocks per section instance.
