New Layouts

 

Find this feature

From the Main Menu of your Site Manager, click Style and Color (in the Appearance column), and then click New Layouts.

 

 

Introduction

Use this page to change the layout (also known as template) on your site.

 

A new layout changes many things on your site:

  • Location of elements (such as navigation bar, menu items)
  • Whether or not some elements appear on the home page
  • Whether or not products appear on the home page
  • Color and different color schemes available

 

 

New Layouts

The page offers layouts from versions 6 through 9.

 

We recommend you choose a layout from version 9, as it utilizes all of the newest features.

 

To choose a layout, select the option button above your choice, and then click Apply.

You can preview the layout by clicking Preview, but you will not be able to preview themes (colors).  Also, a preview appears in a pop-up window.  If you do not see the preview, you may need to disable your pop-up blockers, or hold down either the CTRL-key or SHIFT-key while you click Preview.

 

 

Themes

When you choose a layout from Version 7, 8, or 9, you are taken to a page to choose a theme for the layout.  This applies a new set of colors to the layout.

 

Select the theme you would like, and then click Apply.

To choose a different theme for your layout, re-select the layout on the New Layouts page; this will take you to the Themes page again.

 

 

Layout Details

When you select some layouts from version 6 or higher, you are taken to the Layout Details page.

On version 7, 8, and 9 layouts, you choose a layout, then a theme, and then go to the Layout Details page.
