shop-section-library
A rich catalog of website SECTION TYPES (hero, bento, feature-tabs, timeline, pinned scrollytelling, horizontal case-study scroll, draggable carousel, before/after slider, stats counter, pricing, comparison table, FAQ, gallery, video showcase, marquee, CTA, footer, …) plus a motion-effect palette (entrance/hover/scroll/text/background/SVG/cursor), so a build draws from a WIDE section vocabulary instead of the same hero→3-cards→CTA. Read on any from-scratch visual build/redesign to pick 10–15 section types that FIT the vertical + chosen style, including 2–3 signature "wow" sections. Sits ON TOP of shop-core-rules (contract) + shop-design-taste (taste).
A professional page is 10–15 distinct section types, including 2–3 signature
"wow" sections, chosen to fit the business vertical AND the design style. Pulling
from the same hero → 3 equal cards → CTA every time is the #1 "thin / made-by-AI"
failure. Pick a COHERENT set from the catalog below — variety that suits the brand,
never a random dump. Everything still obeys the platform contract: copy in
{% schema %} settings (§F), colors/fonts via tokens (§G — var(--accent),
bg-accent, font-display), data bound to real records (§H), motion via the
theme's data-anim convention or a small inline GSAP <script> per section.

Signature "wow" sections (include ≥2–3 that FIT the style)
- Fullscreen scrollytelling — pin a panel, advance steps/mask-reveal on scroll (craft story, product walkthrough). Great for luxury/editorial/brand.
- Horizontal scroll showcase — pin the section, translate a track sideways on scroll (collection, case studies, portfolio, spec cards). Great for portfolio/agency/tech.
- Draggable carousel — pointer-drag rail + dots (lookbook, testimonials, products, offers). Fits fashion/food/deal/beauty.
- ⚠️ Any horizontal-scroll list needs ENOUGH items to overflow — the track only scrolls (drag/swipe/arrows do anything) when it holds MORE cards than fit across the viewport. Author ~2× the visible count (≈3 show on desktop → 6-8 real cards; a logo/testimonial strip → 8-12). Too few = the row fits, never overflows, dead carousel. Pad only with REAL items (or rotated real photos), never blank filler.
- Before/after slider — drag a divider between two images (beauty, renovation, results).
- Video showcase / ambience band — looping muted video behind a statement (cinematic brands: hospitality, real-estate, fashion, food, agency reel).
- Bento hero / bento feature grid — mixed-span tiles, one oversized metric tile (SaaS/tech).
- Animated dashboard / app mockup — framed product UI in a browser/phone/laptop chrome.
- Sticky 3D card-stack — cards stack + pin as you scroll (roadmap, steps).

RESTRAINT is a style too: for quiet/luxury/japandi/scandi, FEWER motions + huge whitespace + big imagery still makes a rich 10+ section page — calm is the point, don't cram pins/sliders into a serene brand.
