Introduction
Creating an engaging and well-structured layout is crucial for showcasing your products and boosting conversions on your Shopify store.
Opting for a 5-column layout can be more advantageous than sticking with 3 or 4-column setups, especially when you want to:
- Maximize Information Display: Perfect for showcasing multiple product options, features, or categories on a single row, providing visitors with a broader overview.
- Improve User Experience: With more items visible at once, you can reduce the time visitors spend browsing, leading to faster purchase decisions.
With the recent update to GemPages V7, creating a 5-column grid has become easier than ever.
How to Create a 5-Column Grid Using the Row Element
Step 1: Drag and drop the Row element onto your page and select a 5-column row layout.
Step 2: Optimize Display for Mobile.
When using the Row element, GemPages offers flexible options to optimize your 5-column layout for mobile screens:
- Option 1: Keep the Original 5-Column Layout
This setting allows you to display the same 5-column grid on mobile devices, just like on the desktop.
It’s ideal if you want to showcase more products at once without users needing to scroll.
- Option 2: Stack Columns Vertically
Alternatively, you can configure the columns to stack vertically, turning each column into a full-width row.
This option is perfect for mobile devices with smaller screens, ensuring a cleaner and more user-friendly browsing experience.
How to Create a 5-Column Grid Using the Carousel Element
While the Row element is straightforward, it may not always be the most efficient solution, especially on mobile devices where a 5-column grid can take up too much vertical space.
For a more dynamic and space-saving approach, here is a step-by-step guide to creating a 5-column grid using the Carousel element:
Step 1: Drag and drop the Carousel element onto your page where you want the grid to appear.
Step 2: Optimize for mobile as a 1-column slider.
