Site Themes: Adding Character to Your Layout
Really make your site pop with beautiful and customizable themes!
Themes allow you to professionally showcase your brand by changing up how your content is displayed on your site.
In this guide, we will explore:
Introduction to site themes
A site theme is simply the layout of your site. A theme will determine how your different stories are showcased on your main page (the site). There are currently three ready-made layouts available, each with its own characteristics. Check them out!
Bea theme
Bea is an evolution of the classic Prezly theme and comes with a clean layout that is perfectly suitable for both text-heavy content and fully branded, rich-media stories. It features a simple yet modern design that is an easy fit for any industry.
