Content Sections
Content sections carry the informational parts of your store: values, promises, FAQs, blog teasers, the contact page, and search helpers. Ronin includes 7 content sections. Every one of them shares the universal width, color scheme, background, and padding controls described in Section Settings, so this page only lists what is specific to each section.
About values
