# Page template sections

The About us template does not start empty. When you attach it to a page, the theme fills it with a set of sections that already form a working story layout: a banner, a block of text, a row of icons, a product row, and the global header and footer around them. You can keep them, reorder them, or delete the ones you do not need.

Use the table below to see what each default section does and where its settings are documented. Everything here is edited in **Online Store > Themes > Customize** with the About us page selected in the template selector.

### Sections on this template <a href="#sections-on-this-template" id="sections-on-this-template"></a>

| Section                                                                                       | What it does on this page                                                                                                  | Read it when                                                     |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [announcement-bar.md](/velare/set-up-your-store/header-group/announcement-bar.md)             | The thin strip above the header carrying a store-wide message. It is global, so it looks the same here as everywhere else. | You want the message at the very top to change.                  |
| [header](/velare/set-up-your-store/header-group/header.md)                                    | Logo, main menu, search, and cart icons at the top of the page. Also global.                                               | Visitors cannot find the About link, or the branding needs work. |
| [breadcrumb.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/breadcrumb.md)                                   | The trail showing where the visitor is, so they can step back to the previous level in one click.                          | You want to show or hide that trail on pages.                    |
| [image-with-text-overlay.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/banners/image-with-text-overlay.md) | The opening banner: a photo with your headline written over it, which sets the tone before any text is read.               | You are choosing the first image visitors see on this page.      |
| [rich-text.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/rich-text.md)                        | The main body of the story, where you write who you are and how the store started.                                         | You are writing or editing the story text itself.                |
| [icon-box.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/icon-box.md)                          | A row of icons with short titles, useful for summarising your promises such as materials, shipping, or guarantees.         | You want the key selling points readable at a glance.            |
| [multi-content](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/multi-content.md)                   | A flexible block that mixes several pieces of content in one layout, for editorial or promotional passages.                | The story needs more than a plain block of text.                 |
| [featured-collection.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/products/featured-collection.md)        | A row of products placed inside the story, so a convinced reader can start shopping without going back to the menu.        | You want the page to lead into the catalog.                      |
| [scrolling-text.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/scrolling-text.md)              | A moving line of text that catches the eye, often used for a slogan or a running promotion.                                | You want a visual break between two blocks of story.             |
| [footer.md](/velare/set-up-your-store/footer-group/footer.md)                                 | Contact details, menus, newsletter, and policy links at the bottom. Global.                                                | The page ends without an obvious next step.                      |
| [mobile-navigation-bar.md](/velare/set-up-your-store/mobile-navigation-bar.md)                | The fixed bar at the bottom of the screen on phones, so the main destinations stay reachable while reading.                | You are checking how this page behaves on mobile.                |

### Suggested reading order <a href="#suggested-reading-order" id="suggested-reading-order"></a>

1. Start with [image-with-text-overlay.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/banners/image-with-text-overlay.md) and [rich-text.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/rich-text.md). They carry most of the story and decide the first impression.
2. Then read [icon-box.md](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/icon-box.md) and [multi-content](/velare/customize-your-pages/storytelling/multi-content.md) if you want the page to say more without adding long paragraphs.
3. Leave the global sections for last. Editing the header or footer here changes them on every page of the store, not only on About us.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/customize-your-pages/about-us/page-template-sections.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
