PhotoBiz Global Design Settings Guide

How to Use the Design Tab and Live Preview in the PhotoBiz Website Builder

The Design tab in your PhotoBiz Website Builder controls the overall look and feel of your website. From this area, you can update your logo, colors, fonts, backgrounds, animations, and more. These are your global design settings, which act as the default styling across your entire site.

This guide walks you through how to access the Design tab, update your global settings, understand how global settings work with block-level customization, and how changes apply to your live website.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE in the left-side menu of your control panel.

This opens your Website Dashboard where you manage pages, layout, and design settings.

STEP TWO

Click the DESIGN tab at the top center of your Website Dashboard.

This opens your website’s global design settings.

STEP THREE

Click the EDIT DESIGN SETTINGS button inside the Design tab.

The right-side settings panel will open. This panel contains your global design settings.

You can customize:

• Logo
• Colors
• Fonts
• Styling
• Graphics
• Site Background
• Footer Background
• CSS/JS
• Detail Page Layouts
• Animations

When you click SAVE, your changes are applied to your live website right away. There is no separate publish step for design updates.

HOW GLOBAL DESIGN SETTINGS WORK

The Design tab controls your site-wide default styling.

These settings apply across your entire website unless you override them inside an individual block.

For example:

Your global font selection applies to headings and body text across all pages
Your global color palette controls button styles and accent elements
Your global background settings apply to your website layout

You can still customize individual blocks separately.

If you change styling inside a specific block, such as a Banner Block or Text Editor Block, that change only affects that block. It does not alter your global settings.

This gives you flexibility to maintain brand consistency while customizing specific sections when needed.

TEMPLATE CHANGE (OPTIONAL)

You can change your website template at any time.

Inside the Design tab, select the option to change your template. The PhotoBiz Website Package includes access to the full template catalog.

When you switch templates:

Your content remains in place
You do not need to rebuild your pages

After changing templates, review your website carefully to confirm everything appears as expected.

Understanding Global Design Settings

Global design settings control the overall look and feel of your site.

Select heading and body fonts to match your brand style.

Styling

Adjust spacing, borders, button shapes, and other visual details.

Graphics

Choose decorative design elements that support your branding.

Site Background

Add custom code for advanced customization. This section is typically used for custom styling or third-party integrations.

Detail Page Layouts

Control how individual blog posts, service pages, or product detail pages display.

Animations

Enable or adjust animation effects for elements as visitors scroll through your site.

Live Preview Tips

The live preview inside the Design tab allows you to:

View changes before publishing
Test different font and color combinations
Compare styling updates instantly
Refine your design without affecting your live website

Changes are not visible to your website visitors until you publish them.

FINAL STEP

After making your design updates, click SAVE to apply the changes to your live website.

After saving, visit your website to confirm the updated design appears as expected.
