What You’ll Learn

  • How to build a homepage using the Center Menu layout

  • How to connect your menu links and customize fonts, colors, and alignment

About the Center Menu

The Center Menu layout places your logo and navigation items stacked vertically in the center of the page. It’s inspired by brands like Supreme and is designed for stores that want a high-impact landing experience with minimal scroll.

This layout works best with a strong background (image or video) and minimal homepage content.

⚠️ The Dynamic Background section has been deprecated in the latest theme versions. All background customization should now be handled directly within the Center Menu section.

How to Set It Up

1. Start with a Clean Canvas

  • In the Theme Editor, remove all sections except Page Canvas.

2. Add the Center Menu Section

  • Click Add Section > Center Menu

  • Your logo and menu will appear centered on the page

3. Connect Your Navigation Menu

  • In the Center Menu settings, select a Shopify menu from the dropdown

  • If you don’t have a menu yet:

    • Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation and create one
