Design your website

Pick a starting look, then adjust typography, colours, header, the top of the homepage and the Artists page, with a live preview.

  1. 1

    Website, Design tab (or Settings, Website design). Design sets how the whole site looks; what goes on each page (pictures, text, links to artists and exhibitions) is in the Pages and sections tab, see Build your homepage and pages. Start from a look: Classic, White cube, Editorial, Dark room or Modern gallery (sans serif throughout, a large picture slider with the text below it, like the big international galleries). A look only sets the choices below; you can change any of them afterwards.

  2. 2

    Typography sets the pair of fonts for titles and text (Swiss and Contemporary are sans serif, Classic and Old style have serif titles). Colours: White, Paper, Stone or Dark, or Your own background and text colour; the editor warns if the two are too close to read comfortably.

  3. 3

    Header: logo on the left with the menu on the right (it stays at the top while visitors scroll), centred, or stacked. Top of the homepage: Full image (text over the picture), Over the picture (the picture fills the screen and the logo and menu sit on it, with no white bar), Split, Framed, Text only, Slideshow (pictures change by themselves, text over them) or Slider (picture full width, the label, title, artist, dates and Learn more set below it, with round arrows).

  4. 4

    Artists page: Pictures (four across, a picture and the name) or Names (a plain list in columns). Social links: in the footer, the header or both.

  5. 5

    Every change shows in the preview at once (switch between Desktop and Mobile). Open website shows your real site with the unsaved design, to your team only. Nothing changes for visitors until you press Save design; Discard changes goes back to the saved design.
