Elixir includes dedicated page templates for **advertorial** and **listicle** style landing pages, the kind of long-form content pages used in paid advertising funnels.

## Advertorial pages

Advertorial pages look like editorial content (blog posts, news articles, reviews) but are designed to sell. To create one:

1. In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store → Pages**.
2. Create a new page.
3. Under **Template**, select **Advertorial**.
4. Open the page in the theme editor to add blocks.

### Available blocks

| Block              | What it does                                                           |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Heading**        | Article headline                                                       |
| **Author**         | Author name, photo, and date                                           |
| **Text**           | Rich text paragraphs                                                   |
| **Image / Video**  | Media content                                                          |
| **Button**         | Call-to-action button                                                  |
| **Review**         | Individual customer review                                             |
| **Rating**         | Star rating display                                                    |
| **Amazon Reviews** | Amazon-style review block                                              |
| **Banner**         | Promotional banner within the content                                  |
| **Sidebar**        | Sticky sidebar with featured product, rating summary, and feature list |

## Listicle pages

Listicle pages present content as a numbered list (e.g. "10 Reasons Why..."). To create one:

1. In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store → Pages**.
2. Create a new page.
3. Under **Template**, select **Listicle**.
4. Open the page in the theme editor to add blocks.

### Available blocks

| Block                       | What it does                                  |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Listicle header**         | Page title and intro                          |
| **Listicle item**           | Standard numbered entry                       |
| **Listicle item highlight** | Featured entry with emphasis styling          |
| **Summary**                 | Conclusion block                              |
| **Sticky add to cart**      | Fixed buy bar that follows the user on scroll |
| **Timer**                   | Countdown timer for urgency                   |
| **Callout quote**           | Pull quote or highlighted callout             |

## Hide the header and footer

Ad landing pages convert better without navigation, since every link is a way out of the funnel.

1. Go to **Theme settings → Advertorial and Listicle Setting**.
2. In **Pages without header & footer**, enter the page handle, one per line:

```
advertorial-page
landing-page
special-offer
```

The handle is the last part of the page URL. A page at `yourstore.com/pages/summer-sale` has the handle `summer-sale`.

Those pages then render with no header, no navigation, and no footer, leaving your CTA as the only way forward.

<Tip>
  Add a **Breadcrumb** section or a small logo at the top so the page still feels like part of your store. Removing navigation shouldn't mean removing trust.

## Tips

* Use the **sale countdown banner** announcement bar with advertorial pages to add urgency
* Add a **sidebar** block with a featured product to keep the CTA visible as users scroll
* Keep the **sticky add to cart** block enabled so users can buy at any point
