One of great things about the PhotoBiz Website platform is that you can change your template at any time for no extra cost and all of your content will switch from one design to the next without having to re-upload and re-build your website from scratch.
This guide will walk you through step by step on how to access your catalog of templates and change to a new design if you want to give your website a fresh, new look.
PRO TIP!
Your choice of template primarily affects the location and style of your menu, the placement of your logo and social icons, and whether your website is full-screen or not. Changing your template will not alter the layout, content, or position of individual Builder Blocks within your pages — you can customize existing pages using the builder and block settings or you can add predesigned pages to the new template.
Please note that when you switch templates, you can choose to keep your current design settings or you can choose reset to the default settings of the new template you're selecting.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on WEBSITE in the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on DESIGN at the top of the website builder control panel.
STEP THREE
You'll see your current template at the the top of this section. You can click on the CHANGE button to access the catalog of other templates available.
Important Note: Clicking the change button will not change your website appearance.
STEP FOUR
Add New Templates to your collection of templates.
The right side menu will open and you'll see a button to add new templates. This will be where you can find the entire catalog of the latest PhotoBiz template designs. All templates are included with your PhotoBiz membership.
STEP FIVE
Choose your new template
You can scroll through the list of available templates. Our templates are listed in reverse-chronological order! So if you're interested in making sure you're keeping up with the latest design trends, our newest templates will always be toward the top.
You'll have the option to add a template to your control panel OR preview the template sample site to see a preview of the template layout.
To preview a template, click the sample button. This action will take you to the sample website created to showcase the template. You'll see that this lives online at a URL like "adams.photobiz.com", which you can also type into your phone's mobile browser if you'd like to check how the template looks on a mobile device.
When you find a template you like, click add in order to add it to the YOUR TEMPLATES section.
Pro Tip: Once you've added a template to your control panel, you'll be able to preview it with your content.
DESIGN SETTINGS
After you add the new template design, you can choose from the following settings:
- Keep My Current Settings: keep your existing template settings (colors, fonts, etc.)
- Use New Template Settings: switch your template settings to the default for the new template.
FINAL STEP
Your Templates
This section displays all of the templates that you have added to your PhotoBiz account. Any templates you've used in the past will display here. Each template listed under MY TEMPLATES will give you two options, you can click on SAVE or PREVIEW
- Save: Click save to on a template to make it the template for your website.
- Preview: Click preview to see a preview of your website in the template.
You also have the ability to rename or delete a template from the YOUR TEMPLATES area in order to keep things organized and clean. If you hover your cursor in the top right corner of the box containing the template, you will see icons of a pencil and a trashcan appear that you can use to perform these actions.
Once you've decide on the template you prefer, you can click save to apply the template to your website.
You can customize fonts, colors, and organize your content once you save the template and apply it to your website.
