Story uses headshots to help connect your brand with the people behind it. Headshots and names are complimented by optional bios and social links. ## Powerful pages Sometimes the homepage isn't the best place to tell the brand story. The Story theme uses alternate templates, sections, and a secondary navigation option to allow merchants to tell a detailed brand story off the home page. ![Page Navigation](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MW0UOGNs5_VF-JL99P8%2F-MW0VmaLKZltICBHASzd%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=17a548e2-a281-48d9-9eab-ee56ede10ef0) Adding a sub-navigation option to the page template is a simple but effective way to empower merchants to tell their story off the homepage. ![Timeline and Team](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MW0UOGNs5_VF-JL99P8%2F-MW0Vv_IOrG37CzQ6Ii3%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=eb6e0ba5-86df-4fde-b819-e53686b9fc40) The timeline and team sections are also included as beautiful alternate templates -- allowing merchants to build purpose-specific pages that are common to most e-commerce businesses with a strong and admirable story. ![Lookbook](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MW0UOGNs5_VF-JL99P8%2F-MW0WJxRCndEZlcWnk1h%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e2371e90-4cd1-42f0-8a3f-81ff7525a438) Story includes a section-based page template with blocks for typography, color, products, collages, imagery and text that can be configured like a Lookbook -- telling the story of a product by showing it in use and tastefully linking to the product page. ![Dedicated support and contact page](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MW0UOGNs5_VF-JL99P8%2F-MW0WdF69SAs4fsB-vBL%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=eb813b2e-15ad-4ba2-a63c-e203ba9613da) Admirable brands speak directly their customers and address their concerns.

The accordion FAQ is a section with blocks for each title and text block. The final piece is a dedicated section for summarizing warrantee and return policies -- linking to the full standard terms pages in all its legal glory. Each policy block is an icon, a title and a block of summary text and a link to the legal document. #### ## Exploring Story **Collection filtering** ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVT9ihWY3Q3ta6ksL97%2FKapture%202021-03-10%20at%2014.03.30.gif?alt=media\&token=07573955-62a5-41e8-a2d0-35a619eb146c) **Additional product template** ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVTB-rWwO7LRjjTMswr%2FKapture%202021-03-10%20at%2014.09.09.gif?alt=media\&token=867b5edd-300e-48aa-ae6f-9b31b32ff876) **Secondary page navigation** ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVTFNhmDcrAgLhK_YaH%2FKapture%202021-03-10%20at%2014.27.43.gif?alt=media\&token=0754d64c-e852-4f5a-9f38-e13f6532b65d) **Lookbook page template** ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVTDlZZ_F5S8u9z649A%2FKapture%202021-03-10%20at%2014.20.56.gif?alt=media\&token=43a62065-feec-4c8f-ac90-73dc4c5afcbe) **Team page template** ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVTFyxLg8ILbS9OpdCr%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-03-10%20at%202.30.17%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=303e974d-5f7f-48b9-8c49-b10d553f699e) **Timeline page template** Tell your story with a visual timeline page: ![](https://3450226476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MI6cK8SrstUdE_nxQrW%2F-MVT0oPEf73A3rUwqybC%2F-MVTDIKApqNuFxqWOOCD%2FKapture%202021-03-10%20at%2014.19.00.gif?alt=media\&token=ac1966c9-d2ea-4821-968e-e0d8a275ad95) ## Let's hear your story Try Story theme with your Shopify store:
