Themes and Theme Builder
Your theme decides how your whole website looks: colours, fonts, shapes, the header, the footer and the home page. Pick a ready-made theme in one click, then make it yours in the Theme Builder with a live preview. Nothing changes on your website until you press Publish.

- Go to Website › Appearance.
- Choose Live preview on a theme to see it with your content on any page and device.
- Choose Activate and confirm.
Switching keeps your content: hero text and photo, home page blocks, menus and footer. Premium themes also add their signature blocks (for example Stats, Video or Gallery) to your home page; you can hide or remove them afterwards.
Premium themes on Starter
You can preview premium themes on any plan. Activating one needs the Growth or Scale plan; the button reads Upgrade to use until then.
Unpublished changes
Activating a theme discards any unpublished changes in the Theme Builder. Publish or save them first.
Open the Theme Builder

- Switch the preview between desktop, tablet and mobile and choose which page to preview.
- Click any part of the preview to jump to its settings.
- Use Undo (⌘Z / Ctrl+Z) and Redo (⇧⌘Z) freely.
