Build Once, Reuse Everywhere: Section-Level Layouts with Custom Layouts

Pages are often unique, but sections repeat.

Hero areas, call-to-action blocks, pricing tables, and pre-footers are frequently copied from page to page. Over time, that copy-paste workflow leads to small inconsistencies, layout drift, and slower page building.

Custom Layouts help streamline this process by letting you save and reuse proven layouts.

A section layout that’s reused across multiple pages, often rebuilt by copying and pasting.

The Core Idea

Custom Layouts work equally well for full pages and individual sections. In this post, we focus on section-level reuse.

Instead of rebuilding common sections every time, you can save them as Custom Layouts and insert them wherever they are needed. Each insertion provides a consistent layout starting point while still allowing page-specific customization.

The focus is on structure and styling, flexible content, and predictable page-level edits.

Common Section Use Cases

Hero Sections
Reuse consistent spacing, typography, and layout while updating headlines and imagery per page.

Call-to-Action Blocks
Standardize button placement, alignment, and background treatments without recreating them.

Pricing Sections
Maintain the same grid and visual hierarchy while adjusting plans, prices, or copy.

Footers and Pre-Footers
Reuse layouts for signup prompts, trust signals, or link groups across multiple pages.

Saved Custom Layouts are stored in a central library for easy reuse.

How This Fits Into Real Workflows

• Save a section from an existing page as a Custom Layout.
• Insert it when building new pages.
• Customize content without rebuilding the structure.

Each use is independent, which keeps edits predictable and avoids unintended global changes.

Why It Matters

Using Custom Layouts at the section level helps you build pages faster, reduce layout inconsistencies, and maintain a cohesive visual language over time.

Custom Layouts turn your best designs into reusable building blocks that support a faster, more organized workflow.
