# DW Rail Front Page — "Warm Sand"

Sidebar-rail homepage for Designer Wallcoverings: a persistent left rail (centered
logo + name, search, the FULL category list always visible, cart) beside a huge
Gucci-style hero, then editorial image blocks + footer. No horizontal nav. On
mobile the rail collapses to a top stack so every category is revealed on scroll.

## Files
- `sections/rail-front-page.liquid` — the installable Shopify section (theme-editor driven).
- `preview-standalone.html` — static reference build (open in any browser).

## Install (into a theme)
1. Copy `sections/rail-front-page.liquid` into the theme's `sections/`.
2. In the theme editor, on the **Home page** template, remove the existing
   sections and add **Rail Front Page** (it ships a preset with 2 editorial blocks).
3. Point the **Category menu** setting at your `main-menu` (or a dedicated menu).
4. Set the **Hero image** and each editorial block image.

## Imagery rule (enforced)
Hero + editorial images must be **high-end lines only** — murals, real textiles
(grasscloth/silk), gold/metallic leaf, glass-bead/glitter (Maya Romanoff Ajiro is
the canonical example). **Never** Brewster / York / WallQuest prints (or reskins).

## Full-page chrome
The rail replaces the standard theme header/nav on the homepage. For a clean
preview the homepage should use a layout that omits the theme header/footer groups
(the section renders its own footer). Do this on a **development/preview theme**
first; never edit the live theme directly.

## Status
- [x] Section built + staged locally (reversible).
- [ ] Push to a development/preview theme for review. (gated)
- [ ] Publish to live. (Steve's explicit go only)
