Templates

When creating a new site or page, you'll be able to select from a library of pre-built, fully responsive templates. Each template contains fully designed layouts that are fully customizable to match your brand.

Using Makeswift templates

After selecting a template, you will have full control over every aspect of its contents. The template's original colors, text styles, files, and forms will appear in the page builder but are not automatically added to your site.

When selecting text, you will see a prompt that allows you to quickly add its text style to your site. This will enable you to reuse and update the text style to your liking.

Forms that come with a template will not save data when the page is published. You will need to connect the form to a database table found in your own workspace to do so.

Using your own pages as templates

You can also use your own published pages as templates. To start with one of your own pages, click on the dropdown found at the top of the template library labeled "Makeswift Templates" and select one of your own workspaces. You'll then be able to browse within each site found in that workspace via the second dropdown.

Using a published page as a template is currently the only way to move pages between sites and workspaces. Keep in mind if using a page from a different site, its original colors and typography styles will not be added automatically. If using a page from a different workspace, its database tables will also not be added and forms will not save data. You can use the same workflow discussed in "Using Makeswift templates" to resolve these issues.
