Image grid with text
The image grid with text section is a unique design to the Whisk theme. Here's how you can customize it for your store.
Settings
First section
When this section is the first one at the top of the page, make sure this box is checked. It helps with SEO and page performance in the following technical ways:
- It will load the image as loading="eager" instead of loading="lazy"
- It will remove the fade in image animation if it is active in Style/Theme settings so that the image loads onto the page
Color scheme
Choose from one of the theme's color schemes.
Text alignment (desktop or mobile)
Choose left, center, or right text alignment.
Text animation
See the documentation for text animations for more details.
Image shape
You can select the shape for the images in the grid. They can either be "diamond", "hexagon", a "flower" (available on Whisk 4.0.0 or greater), or a "circle" (available on Whisk 4.0.0 or greater). Here's an example of how a few of these options look on "sharp" and "soft" Theme setting styles.
Sharp diamond
Sharp hexagon
Soft diamond
Soft hexagon
The settings allow you to customize each of the 4 grid blocks. You can upload an image, make the image a link (optional), and change the background color to one of the themes color schemes. You can even choose to leave one of the blocks without an image and a color instead. Here's an example of how that could look:
Section spacing
(Whisk 5.0.0 and above)
Adjust top and bottom padding within the section.
Add space above or below
(Whisk 4.3.1 and below)
Depending on the sections that are above or below this section, you may want to add some extra space for a more pleasing layout.
