If you are currently using a cover page, this article explains how to customize and manage it.
Build and customize your cover page
There are two ways to build a cover page.
Start from scratch.
Use one of the predefined layouts.
To begin editing, enter edit mode.
Add and customize sections
Add a new section.
Choose a layout template such as text, image, video, or mixed formats.
Replace images and text.
Adjust layout positioning such as text overlay, left or right alignment, or above or below the image.
You can further customize each content block:
Crop or resize images.
Adjust margins and width.
Change alignment and positioning.
Apply overlays for visual consistency.
Link blocks directly to guidelines or other pages.
Tip: use image overlays to create a consistent visual style across your homepage.
Adjust header settings
To customize the look of your header, navigate to Themes, select the Layout and navigation section, and then go straight to Header.
You can apply your brand colors or select custom ones to achieve the perfect look.
Additionally, you have control over several text styling options, such as:
Displaying menu items in uppercase, italic, underlined, or highlighted formats.
Customizing font style and size.
Adjusting letter spacing and line height for better readability and design consistency.
Header settings can differ between your cover page and other areas like your style guide or media library.
