The problem

Colors Here, Fonts There, Spacing in Custom CSS

Every tweak starts with a hunt for the right place to make it, and a redesign means repeating the hunt on every template.

Without Md

  • Brand colors entered in several places
  • Fonts that differ between the editor and the site
  • Spacing adjusted one page at a time
  • A redesign that touches every template

With Design Options

  • One color palette, available throughout your site
  • Body and headline fonts, sized for desktop and mobile
  • Site, post, and sidebar widths set once
  • Box, border, or no style, switched site-wide

How it works

Colors

A Palette Your Whole Site Shares

Your brand colors feed buttons, links, the header, footer, and sidebar. Add extra colors and give them names.

  • Primary and secondary button colors
  • Header, menu, panel, footer, and sidebar colors
  • Additional colors with names you choose

Typography

Type That Scales With the Screen

Set the body size and each headline size for desktop and mobile. Headlines can inherit from the body or from H1, so one change reaches the rest.

  • Separate desktop and mobile sizes
  • Headlines H1 to H6 with their own line heights
  • Custom fonts, including Adobe Fonts

Layout

Widths and Style in One Place

Set each width in pixels and choose a content style: Box, Border, or none. Match the post width to the line length you want to read.

  • Site Width, Post Width, and Sidebar Width
  • Box, border, or plain content style
  • A spacing scale built from your line height

Questions

Questions, Answered

The things people ask most about Design Options. Still curious? Read the docs.

Can I use my own fonts?

Yes. You can assign custom fonts to the body and to each headline. Adobe Fonts are supported too.

Do my colors carry into the block editor?

Yes. Your palette appears as the editor’s color presets, so blocks use the same colors as the rest of your site.

Can I switch my whole site from box style to plain?

Yes. Site style changes the content style across your site, and you can also set it for a single page in Layout Options.

Are the font sizes different on mobile?

You set separate sizes for desktop and mobile, for the body and for each headline, so your type scales down on smaller screens.
