Setting Your Site Styles – Colors, Fonts, & More!
Pat Gallagher March 29, 2023
This Lesson will cover Site Styles, which are the Colors, Fonts, and other settings you will set that will inform the rest of your Websites design!
We will also talk about “Themes” which utilize your color palette to create color combinations you can use in different page sections.
It’s very important that you make these decisions as final as possible before building your pages!
Every individual option within your themes can be adjusted as you build out pages, but it will cause a lot of extra work. If your palette is a good spectrum of light to dark, with 2-3 main “brand colors” you will be set-up for success!
Play with this a lot before moving on, see how the colors you select change the template you’re using.
If you’re having trouble, I highly recommend going with a preset palette!
