Out of any Bandzoogle templates, the Spotlight theme is probably the most inspiring right out of the gate. It’s really easy to make something different and unique with this theme, to help put you and your music in the online ‘spotlight’.
The shape of headers
One of the most unique attributes of the Spotlight theme is its header options. Specifically you can add a shape overlay like a circle, rectangle, or triangle, that sits around your homepage header image, to really put the focus where it needs to be.
This overlay can be positioned left, center or right, and can even have its color adjusted, so you can really make this work with our sections options.
All of your inner pages don’t display a header, so you can move the spotlight to your content. But the homepage header can have its height adjusted smaller, or even beyond the full height of the browser, making for some interesting layering with your chosen image.
If shapes are your thing though, you can use Spotlight without the overlay, and the theme also comes with filters for your header images. So no matter what you go for, your images will always be in focus.

Bring your audience in…
… with animations! As if the great header options weren’t enough, a loading animation can be applied to your homepage which fades your title, menu, and call to action in within the header area.
It’s elegant, and striking, but if you like your design with less movement, this can also be disabled in your theme options.
Project more to your visitors
Not only can you align the focus of your header image and overlay, you can do the same with a call to action feature with Spotlight. So your big announcement will be obvious and legible without taking away from your design.
Header image in a circle to the right? No problem, you can set your call to action to float left of it. Switch them around or try new combinations to get the design flow that not only looks good, but gets the response you need from your visitors.
The right look for the part
Finally, Spotlight comes in four premade styles, so it can look great the moment your site hits the internet stage, along with a ‘blank’ theme option if you prefer to dress your own sets!
Keep in mind that while themes like Spotlight let you get more creative, it’s also important that the experience is an easy one for your audience. So keeping your layouts a bit simpler and your text colors in good contrast with your backgrounds can really go a long way!
