Page templates

Start your About, FAQ and Contact pages from ready-made templates and replace the placeholder text with your own.

Overview

Every Taiga preset comes with page templates for the pages most stores need. A template sets which sections a page shows, so you can give your story page a different layout from your contact page. Pick a template for a page in the Shopify admin, then edit its sections in the theme editor.

Template What it includes
Default page The Page content section, which shows the page title and the text you write for the page in the Shopify admin.
contact A hero with the page title, the page content and a Contact form with customer service hours.
our-story A brand story page: hero, rich text, multicolumn sections, a Specs bar with key figures and a featured collection.
faq A hero with the page title, the page content and a Collapsible FAQ section with questions grouped under subheadings.

The templates come with placeholder text and images that show what each part is for. Replace them with your own content before publishing the page.

Setup

Use a template for a page

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Pages.
  2. Open the page, or click Add page to create one, for example "Our story".
  3. Under Theme template, choose the template, for example our-story.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click View page or open the theme editor and select the page to edit its sections.

Edit the template content

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize.
  2. In the page selector at the top, choose Pages and then the template, for example our-story.
  3. Replace the placeholder texts and images in each section with your own.
  4. Remove the sections you don't need, or add new ones.
  5. Click Save.

A template is shared by every page that uses it. Changes to the sections of the faq template show on all pages that use faq, but each page keeps its own title and page content text.

The page title and the main heading

Each page should have one main heading (H1), which helps search engines and screen readers understand the page. The Page content section shows the page title as the H1.

When a hero or another section shows the title at the top of the page, turn off Show page title in the Page content section, and set the heading tag of that section's heading to H1. The our-story template is set up this way.

Use the page title in a hero

In the contact and faq templates, the hero heading is connected to the page title instead of a fixed text. It shows the title of each page that uses the template, so one template works for several pages.

Tell your story to build trust

An Our story page gives customers a reason to choose you over a marketplace: who you are, why you make what you make and what you care about. Keep it short and visual, add key figures in the Specs bar, and end with a link to your products.

Answer questions before they're asked

A clear FAQ page reduces support requests and helps hesitant customers decide. Group questions by topic, like products, shipping and returns, and update it with the questions your customer service hears most.

Updating from an earlier Taiga version

New templates in Taiga 9.0.0

The our-story and faq templates and the Show page title setting are new in Taiga 9.0.0, and the contact template now starts with a hero showing the page title.
