Designing Your Page

Master sections, global styles, headers, and footers to create beautiful, cohesive landing pages.

Create professional, cohesive landing pages by mastering the design framework: sections for structure, global styles for consistency, and headers/footers for navigation. This guide covers everything you need to design pages that convert.

Page Design Overview

Your landing page consists of three key design layers:

  1. Headers & Footers: Frame your content with navigation and branding

  2. Sections: Horizontal slices that contain your content

  3. Global Styles: Consistent colors, fonts, and spacing throughout

Understanding Sections

What's a Section?

Think of sections as horizontal slices of your page. Each section:

  • Spans the full width of the browser

  • Contains your content (text, images, buttons, etc.)

  • Has its own background, spacing, and style settings

  • Can be reordered, duplicated, or saved as templates

Section Anatomy

│  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐  │
│  │  Content Container (responsive width)   │  │
│  │  - Your text, images, buttons          │  │
│  │  - Constrained for readability         │  │

Creating Sections

The easiest way to add sections to your page:

  1. Look at the right sidebar in the editor

  2. Click the Layout category button

  3. Find Section in the dropdown

  4. Drag it onto your page where you want it

  5. The section appears with a default paragraph block ready for content

This method gives you a clean, empty section to build from scratch.

Learn more about managing sections or other ways of adding new sections in our Managing Sections guide.

Responsive Design Built In

RevvedUp automatically handles all the technical details of responsive design. Your pages will look great on every device - from phones to tablets to desktop computers.

What happens automatically:

  • Text sizes, layouts, and spacing adjust to each screen

  • Headers collapse into hamburger menus on mobile

  • Footers stack content vertically

  • Touch targets are properly sized

  • Images and content reflow naturally

You can focus on your content while we handle the complexity.

Headers and Footers

Headers and footers frame your content with navigation and branding.

  1. Hover over the header or footer area

  2. Click the controls icon that appears on the left

  3. The settings panel opens

Control what appears in your header:

Display Options

  • Show Navigation Bar: Toggle the entire header on/off

  • Show Menu: Display navigation links

  • Show Logo: Display your brand logo

  • Show Button: Display call-to-action button

Note: To edit the logo itself (upload or change), click on the logo and adjust it in Seller Profiles.

Styling

  • Background Color: Choose from your color palette

  • Text Color: Set the color for menu items and text

Behavior

  • Type:

    • Fixed: Header stays at top of viewport while scrolling

    • Scrollable: Header scrolls away with the page

Display Options

  • Show Footer: Toggle the entire footer on/off

  • Show Logo: Display your brand logo in the footer

  • Show Menu: Display footer navigation links

  • Show Social Icons: Display social media links

You can add a bar of social media icons to your footer. These links are managed globally for your entire account to ensure consistency across all pages.

To configure your social links:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Page Settings (under Other section)

  2. Add the URLs for your company's social media profiles

  3. Once saved, return here and toggle "Show Social Icons" to display them

See Account Page Settings for detailed setup instructions. Adjusting here ensures your social links stay consistent across all pages and can be updated in one place.

Inline Styles (override everything)

Practical Example
