Lessons

Selecting Your Template

Your template forms the backbone of your Flowlance website. Here's how to pick the right one:

Step 1: Log into your Flowlance account and head to the Templates section.

Step 2: Browse templates by business type or use the search function to narrow down options.

Step 3: Click on any template to preview it. Check how it looks on both desktop and mobile devices.

Step 4: Once you've found the right fit, select it and move into customisation mode.

Always preview templates on both mobile and desktop. Most visitors will view your site on their phones, so make sure it looks good on smaller screens.

Customising Your Template

Now comes the fun part – making your template your own:

Step 1: Enter customisation mode where you can edit text, colours, and images.

Step 2: Click on any text area to edit it directly. Replace placeholder text with your own content.

Step 3: Access the Colours menu to change your site's colour scheme. Pick from preset palettes or create your own combination.

Step 4: Upload your own images through the Images section, or choose from the stock photo library.

Keep your branding consistent across all elements. Use the same colours and fonts throughout your site to build recognition and trust.

Adding Offers

Offers help turn visitors into paying customers. Here's how to add them:

Step 1: Go to the Offers section in your dashboard.

Step 2: Click 'Add new offer' and fill in the details – price, description, and promotional images.

Step 3: Save and publish your offer to make it live on your site.

Update your offers regularly to keep your site fresh and give visitors a reason to return.

Practice

Pick one section of your template and customise it completely. Change the headline text, adjust the colour scheme, and add your own image. Preview the changes on both desktop and mobile to see how they affect the overall look and feel of your site.

FAQs

Can I change templates after I've started customising one?
Yes, you can switch templates at any time. However, you'll need to readjust some elements as different templates have different layouts and structures.

What are the limits on colours and fonts?
Flowlance provides a wide selection of colours and fonts, but custom options outside their library may be limited. Check the customisation panel for available choices.

Do all templates support adding offers?
Most templates include e-commerce features for offers, but it's worth checking the template's feature list before making your final selection.

Wrap-up

You now know how to select the right template for your business, customise it to match your brand, and add offers that convert visitors.

Keep experimenting with different combinations until you find what works best for your audience.
