Add a Gradient Background

What’s a Gradient Background?

A gradient background is a background that transitions smoothly between two or more colors, creating a gradual blend or progression of hues. In a gradient, colors change gradually from one side to another, building a visually appealing and smooth transition.

Adding a color gradient background to your Shopify pages can be achieved in different ways. While the Shopify Theme Editor allows it, some coding knowledge is necessary. 

Fortunately, there’s an alternative: GemPages, the top-ranked Shopify page builder, makes creating vibrant gradient backgrounds quick and easy, with no coding required.
