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 Themes → 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. Depending on the variant you choose, your hero can be:
- A trailer slider — automatically rotates through your latest scenes, playing their trailers, with titles, performer names, and a Join button. Scheduled scenes appear with an "Upcoming" badge, which is great for building anticipation.
- A featured video or image — a single cinematic video loop or poster image with your branding and call-to-action.
Hero designs that use a custom video or image will ask you for those details. You can also set your hero media under Hero Section Settings in the design area — paste the video URL and a poster image URL, and your hero updates.
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.
