Customize Title Page
The best way to see what works best is to make changes to the options available and view in the preview window on the right:
Background Overlay: set a solid color to sit over image
Overlay Opacity: use slider to set. Drag to '0%' to allow your original image to appear with no overlay
Text Color: set the color of the text
Text Font: select a font from our library
Text Size: options include 'Large', 'Medium' or 'Small'
Text Hover State: options include 'Strikethrough', 'Underline' or 'None'
- Change the in-app preview from Desktop / Mobile / Fullscreen
- Keep experimenting and 'Save Changes'
- View Live Site to see how it will really appear
Re-accessing Edit Design settings
- Edit Page and select 'Edit Design'
The font and overlay color shown in the Page Editor window will not match what you have set in the Edit Design panel (but will show correctly on live site and in the in-app preview).
