# Custom content

Pipeline's most customizable section which includes the most commonly used features, all together in one section.&#x20;

This is a great starting point for many merchants to build a custom look on their homepage and on other pages and templates throughout the store. Start by adding the section and then choosing either one or two blocks to build your design:

> ***Tip:*** Choosing one block will create a full-width style section. Choosing two blocks builds a two-column layout.
