[V6] Design a Homepage from Scratch

Editing your Homepage with GemPages

With our long-lasting experience in supporting clients using our page builder, we completely understand your expectation when sharing with us this concern.

In order to edit your homepage, you could import an existing page on your store to GemPages’ editor as a pre-set component and continue adding sections above or below it.

However, we would recommend you to create a new empty page with the editor. This is an intentional suggestion because the first approach is not the most reliable solution and can lead to unwanted conflicts between an external theme, a third-party app, and our page builder.

To ensure your homepage runs smoothly and steadily in the long run the best way is to create a completely new blank page and start from scratch.
