Templates & Design

Choosing how your site looks.

Everything visual is controlled from PremiumPress ▸ Design (ppt_design).

Designs

Your product ships with a set of complete homepage designs. Each one is a full layout — header, sections and card styles — not just a colour scheme. Switch between them at any time from the Design screen; switching does not touch your listings or settings.

Picking a design is also what takes the site live. Until one is activated the site is in preview/demo mode, which is what fills empty listing sections with placeholder reviews and ratings — see Demo Content.

Three ways to change the look

Work down this list — each step is more effort than the one above it, and most sites never need the third.

1. Settings on the Design screen. Colours, fonts, logo and header style. Covers most of what people want to change. See Fonts & Colors.

2. The Site Generator. A visual editor for the design itself — rearrange sections, change what each one shows, and edit the copy in place. Reached from PremiumPress ▸ Site Generator, or by clicking the pencil on the front end while logged in as an administrator.

3. Elementor. For a layout the built-in designs don't cover, build the page in Elementor and assign it. See Elementor Overview.

Assigning your own page to a slot

Any of the theme's standard pages can be replaced with a design of your own. On the Design screen, under Pages, set a slot to Custom design and pick the WordPress page or Elementor template to render instead.

The link that points at the slot can be redirected separately, so you can send "Contact" at a page elsewhere on the site without rebuilding it.

See Content Pages for the full list of slots.

What your product adds

The designs available to you depend on which product you licensed. What each one changes on top of the shared core is catalogued under Features — pick your product from the switcher in the header.
