Let's take a closer look at what's new in the Easy Content Builder (V2).

Overhaul the whole code base

Our team did go the extra mile and re-wrote the whole Easy Content Builder's code base to optimize the app further and made sure our new UI blends in nicely.

July 2024 Update: As Andi shifts her focus to other channels, this store is now closed.

We're thrilled to spotlight Banana Llama, a brand owned by the Scottish artist - Andi. The bananallama.co.uk exemplifies minimal design and effective use of Easy Content Builder's features.

For the past few weeks we have been exploring new features and updating every aspect of our Easy Content Builder (ECB) app. It’s been a while in the making; now, we’re happy to keep you informed on the latest updates to the ECB app. This release focuses on adding new product page templates, improving the core components of the app, and adding new features like on-scroll animations and column/row gaps. 

Enable animations on scroll

Easy Content Builder now supports the on-scroll animation, and it lets you apply different types of animation to elements within each section as you scroll down the page. Below are the different kinds of animation that are available for you to choose from:

Mega menus (also known as expandable menus) are an excellent navigation choice if your Shopify store sells many SKUs. They reveal lower-level submenu items all at once when you click or hover over the main menu item.

As you might know, Dawn theme v5.0.0 introduces one of the most requested features - the Mega Menu, giving you more flexibility to organize your Shopify store's navigation.

Even though the Dawn theme only enables a relatively simple way to create the mega menu layout, it's a handy option to set up your main navigation without a 3rd party app.

Dawn - the first free OS 2.0 theme built by Shopify - is a good starting point, you can make it easy or go advanced. Learn why you should consider using the Dawn theme here.

In this first post, let’s begin with creating multicolumn layouts and adding any block types to the grid column.

Dawn is the first free Online Store 2.0 thememaintained and built by Shopify. This flagship theme was first announced in June 2021 at Unite, along with the launch of the Online Store 2.0.

Since then, Dawn has become a Shopify reference theme and is used as the basis for all free Shopify themes. All Shopify development stores created after 29 June 2021 use Dawn as their default theme.

Upon our observation, we’ve recently seen many upvotes from the Shopify developers despite Dawn’s ‘minimal set of features’; a few to name: “The Dawn theme is best, you can make it as easy or go advanced,” “I find the Dawn theme is a great theme for fashion,” “Free theme: I’d go for Dawn. The theme that most Shopify themes are built off so a good starting point if you need further development later.”...

Let’s find out why Dawn is the ideal way to start configuring your Shopify store.
