Add a Gradient Background

What is 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 color transitions 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 designs quick and easy, with no coding required.
