Add Content
Select the blog you want to pull articles from and configure how many posts appear in the grid. Each article card can display elements such as featured images, titles, excerpts, publish dates, and call-to-action links.
Customize & Style
Fine-tune your articles grid using Flexi’s built-in settings:
- Control the number of columns on desktop and mobile
- Adjust spacing, padding, and card layouts
- Toggle article metadata such as dates or excerpts
- Customize typography, colors, and hover styles
Works Seamlessly with Dawn & Horizon
Flexi sections are built for Shopify’s modern theme architecture, which means the Articles Grid works seamlessly with Dawn, Horizon, and any Online Store 2.0 theme.
Dawn Compatibility
Dawn is Shopify’s reference theme, and the Flexi Articles Grid follows the same structural and responsive design principles used throughout Dawn.
This ensures your article cards inherit your theme’s typography, button styles, and spacing by default, while still allowing full customization through Flexi’s settings.
Horizon & Modern Framework Support
Horizon introduces a more modular, future-forward approach to Shopify theme development. The Articles Grid is fully compatible with this architecture and integrates cleanly without overriding global styles or JavaScript behavior.
Because each Flexi section is self-contained and theme-safe, you can confidently use the Articles Grid in Horizon-based themes without worrying about conflicts or unexpected layout changes.
Theme-Safe by Design
Every Flexi section is performance-optimized and scoped to avoid interfering with your existing theme. This means you can:
- Add or remove the Articles Grid without touching theme code
- Preview changes safely before publishing
- Reuse the same section across multiple themes
- Switch themes without rebuilding your content layout
Whether you're running Dawn, Horizon, or a heavily customized Online Store 2.0 theme, the Flexi Articles Grid adapts automatically — letting you focus on content and storytelling, not technical setup.
