Theme structure


Layout structure – The backbone for your site.

React has been built with function and versatility in mind, starting with the layout structure. Here you will learn about the different sections and the terminology used within the theme.

Main sections

The structure has 4 main blocks with subsections, some of which can be switched on or off completely, or for only the devices of your choice. Items with an asterisk (*) in the list below can be switched on or off:
