The About Us page is an important area of your store where customers can learn more about your brand, mission, and the story behind your products. In your theme, the About Us page can be enhanced with two visually engaging sections: the Video Section and the Image with Text Section. These sections help you present your brand in a more dynamic and interactive way, ensuring a memorable and informative experience for your customers.
Video Section on About Us Page
Features
Brand Storytelling
The Video Section on your About Us page is perfect for telling your brand’s story through a video. Whether it's a behind-the-scenes look at how your products are made, a message from the founders, or a testimonial video, this section can be used to create an emotional connection with your customers.
Flexible Embedding Options
You can embed videos from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo or upload your own video file directly. This flexibility allows you to use existing content or upload custom-made videos that are aligned with your branding.
Responsive Design
The video is designed to be fully responsive, ensuring that it looks great on any device. Whether your customers are viewing the page on a desktop, tablet, or mobile, the video will automatically adjust to fit the screen size.
Customizable Layout
You can choose to have the video appear as a full-width section or as a smaller embedded video with text surrounding it. The layout can be adjusted to suit the design of the page, making it easy to integrate with the overall page structure.
Background Options
You can customize the background of the video section with a solid color or an image. This option can enhance the visual appeal of the video and complement your store’s branding.
Play Button
The video section typically includes a play button overlay, inviting users to click and watch the video. This feature ensures a smooth user experience.
How to Add the Video Section to About Us Page:
Navigate to Your About Us Page
In your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Pages, and select the About Us page.
Add Video Section
Click to edit the page, and select the Video Section from the available section options.

Paste your video URL (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) or upload your own video. Adjust the layout and any background settings to fit the page design.
Save Your Changes
After adding the video and customizing the section, click Save. The video will now appear on your About Us page.
Image with Text Section on About Us Page
Features
Visual and Textual Balance
The Image with Text Section combines imagery with descriptive text, making it ideal for showcasing important aspects of your brand. For example, you can display an image of your team, workspace, or product while explaining the mission or vision behind your brand in the accompanying text.
Customizable Layout
You can choose whether the text appears next to the image or below it. This flexibility ensures that the section can fit seamlessly into the layout of your About Us page.
You can also adjust the alignment of the text and image, such as left, right, or center alignment, to ensure it meets your design preferences.
Engaging Storytelling
The text in this section can be used to tell a part of your brand's story—whether it’s a founding story, the values behind your company, or information about how your products are created. You can format the text with headings, bullet points, and other rich text formatting to enhance the presentation.
Rich Media Support
This section allows you to upload high-quality images that help showcase your brand. Whether it’s a photo of your team, your products, or your workspace, the image can add an authentic touch to your About Us page.
Responsive Design
Like the video section, the Image with Text Section is designed to adjust automatically for different screen sizes, making it ideal for customers on mobile, tablet, or desktop devices.
Call to Action
If you want to drive customer action, you can also include buttons or links in the text. For example, you might include a call to action (CTA) like "Learn More," "Shop Now," or "Join Our Community," encouraging customers to engage with your store.
