Getting Started

First Steps

A new site already looks cheerful with the Sunshine palette. These steps make it yours in a few minutes. All of them are on the site's Theme › Edit theme settings page, or in Customize if Design Studio is installed.

1. Choose a palette

Under Colors & fonts › Color palette, pick Sunshine, Bubblegum, Ocean or Meadow. The palette sets the page, header, announcement bar and footer colors together. See Colors, fonts and decorations.

2. Choose fonts

Keep the defaults (Fredoka for headings, Nunito for text), or pick Andika for text if your visitors are learning to read.

3. Add your logo and site icon

Under Header, choose a Logo. Without one, Confetti shows the site's title. The same section has the header's layout, color, search and an optional button: see Header, announcement bar and footer. Under Site icon & sharing, choose a Site icon for browser tabs and phone home screens, and a Default sharing image for link previews. See Site icon and sharing.

4. Fill in the announcement bar and footer

Add a short notice to the Announcement bar if you have one, such as opening hours or an event. In Footer, add your address and hours, social media links, and your contact, accessibility and privacy pages. See Header, announcement bar and footer.

5. Build your home page

Give the home page the Landing page template, then add blocks: a hero banner, a few highlighted items, and a call to action. See Page templates and Block templates and sections.

6. Check the result

Add the Style book template to a private page: it shows your palette, a contrast report for every color pair, type, buttons and forms in your settings.
