1. Video tutorial
This five-minute video will show you how to customize the template and you'll also learn all the design setup options. We recommend you watch this video tutorial to get a better idea of how the template works.
2. Base structure of the template
The template has the following base structure which is applied to each of the screens of the promotion – in both mobile and desktop versions of the platform:
- Header: This has a fixed height of 36px and is always visible. It’s composed of three elements: on the left, a mobile-style dropdown menu, and on the right, the share button and the brand’s social media buttons. These buttons can be configured from the My Networks module.
- The page footer: this has a height of 50px. It includes the name of the promotion organizer with an external link, plus links to the legal bases, privacy policy, and cookies policy. In Premium promotions, the Easypromos logo is also displayed here.
In the central area, there are two elements that will define the style of your promotion: the background and the main container:
- The background: This is the same for all pages of the promotion. In the mobile version, this background adapts optimally, instead of disappearing.
- The main container: This is displayed on top of the background and is where the contents of each page of the promotion are included: header images, promotion texts, photos, videos, questions, and so on.
2. Main setup screens
The design template is enabled by default in all types of applications created with the Basic, Premium and White Label versions. In addition, for promotions created with the Premium and White Label versions, you will have the possibility to configure the different elements of the template to customize the design to your liking.
Note: The configuration of the different elements of the template is not included by default in the promotions created with the Basic version. It can be added to the promotion as an extension for $ 19USD / € 19.
We explain you below the main setup screens that you will find in the promotion Editor, where you'll find all the available options and tools to customize the design options:
