Within a Shopify site, your template. liquid files are basically taking the place of the CSS. The overall LOOK is being set by the template. The ELEMENTS are typically added using sections, but sections are only available natively on the home page. For custom page types not included with a given Theme, you only have a Rich Text editor or HTML container for adding elements to a page. You can add new templates, but sections can only be used once. You have to create unique copies of sections that can only be used once on a single page. It makes a huge mess in the editor. Additionally, all of those replicated sections will show up as an option on the homepage editor with helpful titles like (Image_with_Text1, Image_with_Text2, Image_with_Text3). If I could write Liquid this would all be easier, but I can't. I was just looking for some simple page element collections I could export and adapt for my purposes. Unfortunately, Nicepage HTML export is filled with so much templated code that it makes it almost impossible to pull anything useful out of a single file to use in an HTML container.
