Сustomize website color scheme for your brand. Use new design template of OT Box called "Elastic".

Customize design template

Go to "Configuration" -> "Website configuration" to customize selected design template.

Scroll down the page to "design theme" block. You will make settings in this section.

Change colors: Control design

Design will remain in the basic gray-orange color developed by OT designers if you do not change colors.

We recommend to keep default design if you are a novice entrepreneur and have not yet been developing a corporate identity.

However, it is better to repaint the site to match your brand colors if you already have a corporate identity.

There are 4 primary design colors.

Select field in "Configuration -> Website configuration -> Design theme":

A color palette will open after click where you can select necessary color using mouse or specify RGB values from Photoshop.

By the way, color can be specified in different formats, not only in RGB. Click special triangles in the format menu to select format.

Click "Save" button after all color are changed.

In addition to 4 design colors, there are 4 more colors of informational messages. We recommend leaving them unchanged or choosing no less vivid colors. Color of informational messages in OT Box admin panel is selected in accordance with the standards that a person is used to in everyday life.

Add background image

Background image is downloaded from your computer and used in the background. It is important to consider several recommendations:

The larger the size of background image, the longer website page will load. Sometimes users may not wait for the site to fully load and leave.
Bright background distracts and irritates the eyes, so spent time on the site is reduced.
Interface on some pages covers background almost completely, therefore it is not recommended to put any useful information on background (phone numbers, addresses, messages, etc.). And also it is worth considering when choosing an image so that the meaning does not change or distort.

Click "Change" button to download background image (there is no background image by default).

Downloaded image will be saved automatically. Click "Save" button to displ;ay it on website.

Set background binding after that. Tables below show how each setting looks. For example, we take a picture of a flower and show how it will look based on interface (picture will be partially hidden by menu bar or search bar in some places).

Background attachment

If you fix the image, it will always be “pressed” to selected position. That is, it will remain at specified location when scrolling through the site. As an example, we will show background with “left” position and page header and header.

Setting

Page header

Page footer

Fix (observe "Flower" position in the upper left). No matter how long the page is, scrolling the image will always be visible in its original form. Background is attached to the screen instead of the page.

It is convenient to use when your background has a large picture the size of the screen and you want to always leave it visible. Or you have a beautiful ornament at site header which is a continuation of menu style.

Scroll (observe "Flower" position in the upper left). Image disappears from the screen when scrolling and remains only in that place of the page where it was fixed. Background in this case is attached to the page instead of the screen. Therefore, in the example it disappears when scrolling.

It is convenient to use if design is necessary only for site header and there is no need to show it when scrolling the page. This option is also suitable for design focusing on products instead of distract from viewing content.

Use above settings to set background image position.

Сlick blue dotted text with necessary settings.

Select necessary position from drop-down list and save selection clicking checkmark button.

Click "Save" button after all changes are made.
