Header & footer
The chrome around every page. Leave a section empty to keep the storefront's built-in default — the logo, colours and social profiles live under Store identity.
Header
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Navigation band | Brand colour keeps the dark band under the white logo strip; White makes the whole header one white surface with ink text — the search field gains a hairline border so it stays prominent. |
| Announcement bar | One line above the header (opening hours, a holiday cut-off, a new range) with an optional link label and address. Empty hides the strip. |
| Call-to-action button | A solid dark button beside Sign in, for example Industries → /industries. Choose a menu under Dropdown and its links open under the button like the catalog menu, with the button's own link last as All industries; on a phone the list opens inside the menu. |
| Band links | The links on the navigation band beside the catalog menu and the cart, and in the mobile drawer. Empty shows Request a Quote and Contact. |
Footer
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Footer colour | Light (the default); Dark, which paints the footer in your brand fill with white text; or Enterprise: a white row with your logo, your tagline as a bold statement and your social profiles in their own colours, above a dark footer with a Contact column (phone, WhatsApp, email, address, hours and directions) taken from Settings → Business profile. |
| Under the logo | Tagline, address or opening hours. Line breaks are kept. |
| Newsletter signup | An email form above the link columns. Every signup becomes a lead in Customers → Leads with source Newsletter, and the alert reads “New newsletter subscriber”, apart from sales enquiries. |
| Link columns | Your own columns replace the built-in ones completely once you add any. |
| Bottom row and Extra small print | Small legal links beside the copyright, and a line appended to it (company registration, VAT number). |
| Show “Powered by Sokisoko” | A small credit link after the copyright line, pointing to sokisoko.com. Off until you switch it on. |
Menus
Content → Menus holds named lists of links (main, footer, or your own such as industries for the header button's dropdown) that the header, footer and pages reference. The main menu's links appear on the white top strip; anything already on the navigation band is dropped so a link never shows twice.
Storefront template
Content → Storefront template moves a finished look between stores. Export this store downloads brand colours, theme, header & footer and page content — not the store name, logo or social profiles, which stay each store's own.
Start from a template shows the plan first: which pages would be created or skipped and which branding keys change. Preview in storefront opens your live store in a preview that applies the template to the view only — its theme, header & footer and pages, switchable from the bar at the top — and writes nothing; the link lasts a day. Apply to this store then writes the theme and header & footer immediately and adds the pages as drafts, so page content does not change on the live store until you publish it from Pages. On a store that is already live, preview first and apply only once the team agrees.
| Template | Look |
|---|---|
| Trade Counter | White chrome, search first: a hero with a search box and packshot panel, a product showcase with quantity + Add on each card, a paste-your-list quick order band, features, buying steps, a trade-account pitch, an image collage, brand logos and guide cards. Built entirely from the Trade kit blocks, so every section is editable and reusable on other pages. |
| Stark Mono · Fasteners | Black chrome, one red accent, condensed type — a spec-first catalogue. |
| Industrial Distributor | Bold and factual — built for parts, fasteners and site supply. |
| Clean Wholesale | Light and minimal — lets a good catalog speak for itself. |
Import a template takes an exported file through the same plan-then-apply flow. Tick Overwrite pages with the same address only when you mean to replace existing pages; new ones are created as drafts either way.
After applying a template, open the draft Home in Pages, swap the placeholder images and copy for your own, pin the products you want on the showcase, then publish.
