3. Easier customize with sections.

SalesHunter's Shopify themes for clothing are made with the latest section structure. Sections are customization elements pre-made in a theme. Section brings a visual look to theme customization, unlike the old store editing method (which required too many custom codes). Thus, everyone can use sections to personalize their online store, with no coding skill required

When talking about sections, we talk about 2 parts in Theme Customizer:

• Sections: each page has a separated section set. A section set can contain one or multiple sections.
• Section: a section is a content element. E.g.: image gallery is a section.
• General: general settings affecting all sections on all pages

Benefits of using sections

With the best Shopify themes for clothing that are made with section sections, you have unlimited power to make the most of your Shopify store. Not only use, customize, edit the pre-made section, you can also use custom code editor to create the layout you want

Sections empower the homepage. By default, all Shopify sectioned themes have some built-in sections on the homepage. When using sections, you can:

• Save your cost: Both in term of time and money, you can save an amount of budget for outsourcing your store’s design at first stage or time to setup on your own
• Visual editing: The drad-and-drop function make the custom work user-friendly look
