Sections are the building blocks of your rental website. The Header, Top bar, and Footer sections apply to all pages.

Each page of your Booqable website consists of sections, and within each section, you can add Blocks that display content specific to that section. For example, when adding a Products section, you can add additional blocks to show more products in this section.

Follow the guide below to learn more about the different sections you can add to your Booqable website.

💡Note: Some sections are only available in specific themes.


Available sections

To add a section, click Add section in the Booqable website builder. A pop-up will appear where you can preview each section before adding it to your website.

💡Note: Each section includes settings for color palette selection and padding for desktop and mobile devices. This allows you to customize the color of a section and padding for each device type.

Below are the sections available for building your rental website:


Accordion

The Accordion section helps you display text neatly and efficiently. It saves space by showing condensed titles that users can click to expand and read more details. This way, visitors can quickly find and access the information they need.

To add items to the Accordion, click on +Add block under the Accordion section and select Item.
