After you select a template for your website, you can customise its theme. Hence, it matches your personality if you set up a blog or your brand to bring your business online.

Although each Feature you add to your website can be customised individually as you build your website, you can save time and effort if you customise your Sitebeat Template's Theme first. For example, when you add text features, it will automatically use your preferred font type, style, and colour instead of your default theme's settings. This means that you don't have to apply the same settings every time you add the same feature.

Note: Each feature you add to your website is still fully customisable by accessing its individual editing options.

Here are the steps you'll need to customise your Sitebeat Template:

1. Log In to access the Sitebeat Dashboard.
2. Under My Sites, click EDIT SITE of the website that you wish to manage.

Note: If you want to edit a new site, you have to unpublish the current website and make your new site as your primary website.

Under My Sites, click the [...] Ellipsis Icon on the top-right corner of the website to unpublish the current site. Click Unpublish Site, and then click Yes, Unpublish to confirm.

Under My Domains, click the [...] Ellipsis Icon of the website that you want to replace as your primary website, then click Replace Primary. In the pop-up window, select the domain of the new website in the New Primary Domain list, then click Replace Primary. You can also click the Domains tab under My Sites to perform the necessary steps mentioned.

You can now edit the new site that you wish to manage.

If you haven’t started one yet, click the SELECT TEMPLATE option under My Sites. Browse through the Templates screen, click on a template to preview it, and then click the CREATE THIS SITE button on its top-right corner to use it.
