Choosing your site's theme
Your site theme includes all the colors and text styles on your site. There are a variety of suggested styles to choose from, and you can click through them to see how your site changes with each one.

on the left side of the editor. - Click Change Theme.
- Select a theme from the list.
- (Optional) Customize the theme's fonts and colors:
Adding themed elements
Add themed elements to ensure your site's design is consistent throughout. These elements have been handpicked for you, as they match your chosen color and text styles.
Since themed elements are tied in to your site's theme, they automatically update if you choose a new theme from the Site Design panel.
To add themed elements to your site:
- Go to your editor.
- Click Add Elements
on the left side of the editor. - Click the themed section (e.g. "Themed Text").

From the Site Design panel, you can change the background of the page you are on in the editor. Choose between a color, image or video background and adjust it to suit your design needs.
To choose your page background:
- Go to your editor.

- Click Page Background.
- Select the background type you want for your page:
- Color background: Select a color from your site colors, or add a new one to your page background.
- Image background: Choose from a range of free and priced stock images to add to your page background, or upload your own.
- Video background: Choose from a variety of high-quality stock footage to set as your page background, or upload your own video for that personal touch.
Tip:
Set a background for multiple pages on your site by clicking Apply to Other Pages at the bottom.
