How to Use Instant Site’s Design Options

All our new designs have been developed with you (yes, YOU) in mind. Choose the layout, fonts, colors, and more to express your brand style, add a unique design touch, and make your Instant Site your own.

To get started, head to the Website tab in your Ecwid Control Panel (ex. Control Panel → Starter Site) and click “Edit.” The new design tools are enabled automatically for all stores, so you can start using them right away.

Select a predesigned theme

If this is your first website or you want to launch it faster, we’ve got you covered. Browse fertig themes to find something that fits your brand.

These themes are fully customizable, meaning you can change texts, fonts, button CTA, images, colors, and layouts right in the editor. We are adding more themes soon to keep you inspired.

Want to give your website a personal touch? You can modify your theme or start from scratch in the “Headline and Cover” tab. Keep reading to see it in action.

Choose the cover layout

Change the position of your header copy and the layout of your background:

• Vollbild Titelbild works great when you have hochwertige Produktfotografie. Avoid images with too many small details that can make the text on your cover image difficult to read.
• Right or left sidebar separates your image and descriptions, emphasizing your text and balancing it with your chosen visuals.
• A shortened cover image allows users to see your products before scrolling.
• No cover image: select this option to show only the top menu for faster launch.

Replace the demo text with your own copy (you can do it in the left sidebar menu of the Instant Site editor) and adjust its position on your Titelbild: move it left, right, up, and down.

Add your own photo

Already have some great photos? Showcase your best product photography on your cover background: for the best fit, choose images that are at least 1400х1050px. Set it up in the “Background Options” tab.

…Or, choose from thousands of free stock images

No photos yet? Use an integrated stock photography tool to select one of our available professionally-created stock images.

…Or, wow customers with a background video

They say a picture sells like a thousand words, so a video must sell like at least a thousand pictures. Spice up that cover with footage of your new collection, happy customers, your products being created, or - better yet — your products in action.

To add a video to your cover area, simply copy/paste the link from YouTube or Vimeo. If you’re using someone else’s video, be aware of copyrights and make sure to get permission first.

…Or, fill the cover background with a color or gradient

If you prefer the minimalist life, add a plain color or a gradient to your background. Just be sure to coordinate your text color with your background for easy reading.

Change the font, size, and color of your headings

Text style is an important part of branding. Select the size, color, and font for the main copy on your Instant Site: make it thin and airy, bold and solid, moderate and professional, or anything in between.

Add image filters

Image too bright? Need to make a quick change? Don’t rush to expensive photo editors. Test out some of our new image filters instead. Not seeing what you want? Use the tool to create one of your own!

Design the CTA button

Set your brand color, change the CTA copy and size, and optimize your button for conversions.
