Editorial plate

A single wide photograph presented like a plate in a printed lookbook: section heading above it, the image at a ratio you choose, and a caption row underneath with copy on the left and a link on the right.

Use it as a change of pace. Between two product sections, one panoramic image resets the reader’s eye and makes what follows feel like a new chapter. It is the cheapest way to make a long homepage feel edited rather than stacked.

No blocks. One preset, Editorial plate.

Behaviour worth knowing

On phones the ratio is overridden. Below 760 px the plate is forced to 4:3 regardless of what you chose. A 3:1 panorama on a phone is a 40-pixel-tall sliver, so the section crops to something you can actually see — which makes the focal point setting matter much more than it does on desktop. Set it, then check the result at phone width.

The caption row collapses. Copy and button sit side by side on desktop, baseline-aligned at the bottom; below 760 px they stack with the button under the text. If you set neither, the row does not render.

The plate sits on the page measure, not edge to edge — it respects the theme’s page margin and maximum width. If you want a full-bleed image, use the Slideshow or a Lookbook shot instead.

Tip

Panoramic (3:1) is the one that looks most like print, and the hardest to shoot for. It wants a wide composition with the subject off-centre and a lot of nothing on one side. If your image was framed for a product page, use Wide or Classic instead and save the panorama for a shot that was actually composed that way.
