• Add buttons or links for calls to action

Works Seamlessly with Dawn & Horizon

Flexi sections are built for Shopify’s modern theme architecture, which means Featured Text sections work seamlessly with Dawn, Horizon, and all Online Store 2.0 themes.

Dawn Compatibility

Dawn is Shopify’s reference theme, and the Flexi Featured Text section follows the same typography, spacing, and accessibility standards used throughout Dawn.

This ensures your text content inherits your theme’s visual language by default, while still allowing precise control over layout and emphasis.

Horizon & Modern Framework Support

Horizon represents Shopify’s next-generation theme framework. The Featured Text section integrates cleanly with Horizon-based themes without overriding global styles or introducing JavaScript conflicts.

Because each Flexi section is self-contained and theme-safe, you can confidently add featured text to modern and highly customized storefronts.

Theme-Safe by Design

Every Flexi section is scoped, isolated, and performance-optimized. This means you can:

• Add or update featured text without editing theme code
• Preview content changes safely before publishing
• Reuse the same featured text across pages and themes
• Switch themes without rebuilding text layouts

Whether you're using Dawn, Horizon, or a fully custom Online Store 2.0 theme, Flexi’s Featured Text section adapts automatically — helping you communicate key messages clearly while maintaining design consistency and performance.
