Make It Yours: A Guide to Customizing Colors and Fonts

Every Sitelas template comes with a default theme. Here's how to make your site look uniquely yours.

Two Ways to Customize

1. The Theme Panel

Click Theme in the sidebar. Change primary color, background, text colors, and fonts. Changes apply instantly across the entire site.

2. AI Chat

Describe the mood you want:

  • "Make it feel warmer" → warm earth tones, serif fonts
  • "Dark mode" → dark backgrounds, light text
  • "Playful and colorful" → bright accents, rounded corners

Color Palette Tips

  • Start with one color and let AI build a palette around it
  • Use high contrast — light gray on white is the most common mistake
  • Limit to 2–3 colors — primary, neutral, and optional accent

Font Pairing Tips

  • Safe bet: One font family for everything (e.g., Inter)
  • Classic pair: Serif headings + sans-serif body
  • Avoid: More than 2 font families or decorative body fonts

Theme Presets

Most templates come with 2–3 curated presets. Try them before building from scratch.
