Page masthead

A masthead for custom page templates: an accent kicker, a large <h1>, an optional intro paragraph and an optional side note. It exists because an alternate page template built out of sections — the about page, the lookbook, the shipping page — has no heading of its own, and would otherwise render with no <h1> at all.

The heading falls back to the page’s own title, so in the common case you add the section and type nothing.

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
Kicker	Text	`On file`	Small accent line above the heading.
Heading	Text	—	The `<h1>`. Leave it empty to use the page title — which is almost always what you want, so you are not maintaining the same words in two places.
Intro	Rich text	—	An introductory paragraph or two under the heading, capped at a 62-character measure for readability.
Show the side note	Checkbox	`false`	Show the side note.
Side note	Text	`Updated this season`	The side note, in accent. Only renders when `show_meta` is on and this field is not empty.
Top spacing	Range, 0–160 px	`0`	Top spacing.
Bottom spacing	Range, 0–160 px	`0`	Bottom spacing.

No blocks. One preset, Page masthead.

Behaviour worth knowing

It sets the spacing for whatever comes next. The masthead tells the section immediately after it to use a 40 px gap rather than the theme’s full section-to-section rhythm, so the heading and the first block of content read as one unit instead of two unrelated bands. That is why its own padding defaults to zero — the spacing is already handled.

It falls back twice. Heading → page title → store name. On a template that is not a page (if you add it to the homepage, say) it will show the store name.

The heading is an <h1>. Don’t put two of these on one page, and don’t pair it with a Hero — the hero renders an <h1> too.

Where it ships

Five of the preset page templates lead with this section: about, FAQ, lookbook, shipping and returns, size guide and stockists. The plain page template does not use it, because that template renders the page title itself.
