Use a template on your site
A template changes how your page is laid out. Your words, photos and sections stay exactly as they are.

Where to find it#
| Where | Press | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| The editor | Pick a template, under Design your page (on a phone, in the row of tabs) | A new look without designing anything |
| The Designer | Templates in the top bar (the swatch book, next to the clock) | Starting from a template, then changing it yourself |
Both open Pick a template. Each card shows the template with your own name, photo and sections, so you see the real result before you choose.
What changes and what stays#
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| Your words, photos and sections | Nothing changes. They come from the editor, as always. |
| The page layout | Replaced by the template’s rows, sections and styles. |
| Colours and fonts | The template’s, unless you turn on Keep my colours and fonts. |
| The template’s own sections | Filled with your sections of the same kind: a photo gallery gets your gallery, a section of cards gets your cards. |
| Your sections the template has no place for | Added at the end of the page, before the contact form, so nothing disappears. |
| A background that used the template’s photo | Uses your photo instead. |

What each number means
When something is missing#
Some templates show things your site doesn’t have yet, like a photo gallery or an About you text. Then you see This design shows things your site doesn’t have yet, with each one named.
- Missing pieces stay hidden on your page until you add them. You can apply the template now and fill them in later.
- In the editor, Add it takes you to the right place to fill one in, and Open the Designer lets you adjust the design instead.
- For a section your site doesn’t have at all, add one with Add section in the list on the side.
After you apply it#
| Where you applied it | What happens next |
|---|---|
| The editor | It’s saved as your draft design and you see Your site has a new design. Press Publish now to put it on your site, Open the Designer to adjust it first, or Done to leave it for later. |
| The Designer | You see Design applied. Change anything you like, then press Save and Publish this design, as with any design. |
Questions#
Will a template delete any of my content?
No. A template only changes the layout, and the colours if you let it. Everything you wrote and uploaded stays.
Which templates can I pick?
The ones in the template gallery that have their own page layout.
Can I try several?
Yes. Apply as many as you like. Each one you publish is kept in your version history, so you can go back to it.
