The Opportunity

No-code controls to hide or replace the header/footer on specific pages and templates in Online Store 2.0 themes like Dawn. Safely creates alternate templates and assignments so merchants can build distraction-free landing pages without breaking the theme.

"Merchants want to remove the header on a specific page, but manual edits often lead to mistakes like duplicate headers appearing sitewide."

Detailed Analysis

Proposed Solution

Provide a UI to select pages and toggle header/footer visibility or swap in alternate headers. The app auto-creates alternate templates and injects minimal, reversible changes, with preview and one-click rollback.

Target Audience

Non-technical Shopify merchants using OS2.0 themes (especially Dawn) and marketers creating landing pages

Competitive Landscape

Shogun, PageFly, GemPages, Manual theme editing, Freelance developers

Implementation Notes

Use Theme Assets API to duplicate the current theme and create alternate page/product/blog templates (e.g., page.landing.json). Inject a small snippet or CSS to hide .shopify-section-header on selected templates, or render an alternate header section. Provide UI to assign templates to resources via Admin API. Add a preview mode via theme preview parameter. Store a snapshot of modified assets for rollback. Guard-rails: lint templates, verify only one header section is referenced, and validate before publish.
