Themes

Manage the Look and Feel of Your Site

Themes essentially determine the overall design of your site. The Theme Editor provides a comprehensive yet intuitive interface to manipulate fonts, colours and images used on every page.

The site is generated using CSS. Style sheets offer a way of styling HTML globally without having to specify fonts and colours every time they should be used. Themes, based on your specifications, generate CSS automatically.

The Default Theme can be set from within the Themes section. Although multiple Themes may be specified for various areas of the site, the Default Theme is used when no alternative has been selected. Stock Themes, preinstalled with the Bluepark system, may be copied and then customised. The original versions may not be modified directly or deleted.

Sections of the Page

Header: At the top of the page, the Header usually includes the site logo and may include some Navigation links. The Account, Navigation and Search bars may be displayed within the Header enabling access to the customer's account details and various other areas of the site.

Footer: At the bottom of the page, the Footer usually includes further links or generic site information.

Columns: Between the Header and the Footer lies the site content, organised by up to 3 Columns. It may be that you decide to use different Column configurations on different pages, made possible by using the Page Layouts section.

Blocks: Within each Column, site content is organised into Blocks. These Blocks can be activated, deactivated and reordered from within the Page Layouts section.
