01
Start here
Duplicate before you edit
Work on a copy of the site so you can always compare against the original demo.
Set your brand once
Open Variables and change the ten base colours. Every page updates automatically, because there are no hard-coded colours anywhere in the template.
Three things behave differently here
Read sections 02, 05 and 07 before you start editing, or you will lose time.
02
Editing content
Almost every piece of text in this template is a component property, not editable text on the canvas. Double-clicking a heading will not let you type.
1
Click the section once to select the component instance
2
Look at the right-hand panel, below Style
3
Edit the fields listed under the component name
This applies to headings, descriptions, button labels, statistics, badges and image slots. Blog posts, services and testimonials are the exception, and come from the CMS instead.
03
Variant map
Most sections have several layouts, chosen from the Variant dropdown at the top of the component panel. Twelve of the twenty-three components have more than one variant, and each variant is named after its layout.
Page names do not match variant names
01
Services V1 uses the variant called Two Column Grid
02
Services V2 uses the variant called Card Grid
03
Services V3 uses the variant called Landscape Card Slider
If you want the layout you saw on a particular demo page, open that page and read the Variant dropdown rather than guessing from the page name.
04
CMS collections
Three collections power the dynamic content.
01
Blogs. Title, slug, summary, body, featured image and three tag fields.
02
Services. Name, slug, summary, description, a display number, and three image fields.
03
Testimonials. Client name, quote, position and photo.
Every image field is used somewhere in the layouts. If you leave one empty, that layout shows an empty coloured block rather than falling back gracefully. Fill all image fields, even for items you think are not displayed.
05
Adding a new service
The Services slider does not use a single Collection List. It uses five separate Collection Lists, one per slide, each limited to a single item with a different offset: slide one shows offset 0, slide two offset 1, and so on to slide five at offset 4.
To add a sixth service
1
Open the Services Section component and switch to the Landscape Card Slider variant
2
Duplicate the last slide
3
Select the Collection List inside the new slide
4
Change its Offset from 4 to 5
5
Update the number shown on the card
Card numbers are typed, not dynamic
The 01 to 05 labels are static text. Reordering services in the CMS will not renumber the cards. Edit each by hand, or bind them to the service number field if you prefer them to follow the CMS.
This is the one that will catch you out
Adding a sixth service in the CMS will not make it appear anywhere. Duplicate the last slide, then change its Collection List offset from 4 to 5.
06
Variables
The template uses three variable collections and no hard-coded values. Changing a variable updates the entire site.
Colors
Ten base colours plus translucent derivatives used for borders, overlays and scrims. If you change a base colour, change its matching translucent version too, or old tints will show through.
Sizes
The spacing scale, section padding, and four tokens that are not obvious. Radius Tile sets the corner radius on cards. Radius Pill is deliberately 999px so buttons stay pill-shaped at any height. Tracking Tight and Spacing Overlap both hold negative values on purpose, for tight headings and overlapping avatar stacks. Do not correct them.
Responsive modes
The Sizes and Typography collections have Tablet and Mobile modes. Sizes adjust automatically at each breakpoint, so you do not need to override them manually.
07
Fonts and assets
01
Fonts. Noto Serif and Public Sans, both from Google Fonts, already connected in Site Settings.
02
Images. Sourced from Lummi, free for personal and commercial use. Replace them with your own before launch.
03
Icons. Iconoir.
