Every part of your site — the hero banner, content cards, join form, menus — comes in multiple ready-made designs called variants. The Sections page is where you pick which design each part of your site uses.
Finding the page
Go to Site → Sections. The parts of your site are grouped into tabs:
- Items — the cards used for individual scenes, photos, and thumbnails.
- Sections — larger homepage blocks like the hero and featured rows.
- Details — layouts for scene and performer detail pages.
- Join — the design of your join/signup form.
- Menus — headers, navigation, and footer styles.
- All — everything on one tab.
Switching a design
- Find the component you want to change. Each variant is shown as a card with a screenshot — hover over a card to see a short video preview of it in action.
- Click the card you want. The change is saved and applied to your site right away — you'll see a confirmation like "Hero updated."
- Use the card's preview link to open your site showing that variant before you commit — you can try a look without changing anything for your visitors.
The variant you're currently using is always shown first with a checkmark.
The Hero — your site's first impression
The hero is the large banner at the very top of your homepage, and it's the component most worth experimenting with. There are three hero designs:
- Featured Scene Slider Hero — automatically rotates through your latest or featured scenes (you choose the source and 1–8 slides), playing their trailers with titles, performer names, and a Join button. Scheduled scenes appear with an "Upcoming" badge, which is great for building anticipation.
- Single Featured Scene Hero — spotlights one scene, or — with Content source set to Custom assets — your own uploaded hero video and image. This is the only hero that accepts a custom upload; see Custom hero image and video: specs and how to upload for the recommended dimensions and file sizes.
- Hero Component with Featured Trailer — a slider layout with a large media area, headline, and prominent trailer/purchase buttons.
If a design asks for details first
Some variants need certain things to exist before they can go live — for example, a hero that plays trailers needs scenes with trailers, and a custom-media hero needs its video or image. If something's missing, a Required Details window opens when you select the variant so you can fill in what's needed. Complete it and the variant activates.
Tips
- Preview on mobile too — most of your visitors are on their phones.
- The trailer-slider hero effectively promotes your newest release for you: keep trailers on your recent scenes and it stays fresh automatically.
- Changed something but don't see it on the live site? Give it a couple of minutes and refresh — see Previewing your site, updates, and demo access.
