Curating the appearance of your public site.

Transcript:

The Appearance section of the member dashboard is where you choose how to visually brand your site. Here, you can select a theme, which is essentially a site template, to serve as your main public landing page.  We've created many theme options to appeal to a variety of genres and aesthetics. We're adding more all the time, so check back often. Our templates are designed to showcase all of the information you've added in each section of the member dashboard. Regardless of which theme you choose, your information will be displayed to site visitors in an intuitive, easy-to-navigate landing page.

There are two types of themes; standard, and premium. Standard themes are available for all subscription levels. Premium themes, identified by the star icon on the thumbnail, are available to Weekend Warrior and Rock Star tier subscription levels. Note that regardless of your subscription level, you can preview any theme in the collection. 

To select a theme, simply click the thumbnail. It will now render in the preview window here. If you'd like to preview the selected theme in a full browser window, click the "Preview full screen" button.

Use the filter option here to show all themes; only standard themes;  or only premium themes. Once you've chosen the theme you'd like to use, select the "Apply this theme" button. The theme will now be applied to your public site. 

Your main band image is largely responsible for how your chosen theme presents. That's why it's super important to choose a good quality main band image in the Band Details section that works well for your chosen theme.

To further personalize your public site, you can choose to display your band logo instead of the default band name over the main band image, or in the top header section.  This is done by selection the "Branding options" button, here.

Note that available branding options are theme specific. For instance, if your chosen theme displays the band name in the top menu area and not over the main band image, selecting the option to display the logo over the main image will have no effect, since there is no band name there to replace. For this type of template, you can choose to show the logo in the top menu area, instead.

Play with different themes to identify the one that most aligns with your band image.
