Selecting a Website Design Template

When a new website is generated, the editor applies a random design
template to the site. A design template is a combination of website
elements (banner, footer, sidebars), page layout settings, and colors.

You can review the list of available design templates and select the
design you like the most, or you can individually adjust the layout and
colors of website elements, as described further in this document.

You can also prepare your own design templates and save them to ZIP
archives, upload them to the editor, and apply to websites.

Selecting and Applying a Design Template

To select a design template and apply it to a site:

Go to the Design tab > Templates, select the template you want,
and click OK.

The following site elements and settings can be saved in a design
template:

  content areas, and sidebars.
• The banner image.

   Export Design.
