Hy there, there are many page builders are available in Shopify app store. you can use one from the famous ones like PageFly, Shogun, or Automizely. but i would suggest that you can buy a premium theme on which you can customize a lot of thing without any coding you can buy a premium theme if you want to pay for one time only and page builders charge you on monthly basis.
