Some of your template features include buttons, such as the ‘Mailing List Sign-up Form’ and the ‘Custom Form.’ Here’s how the buttons can be customized to flow with your website design:
- Shape: rounded, square, or pill
- Style: choose from ‘outline’ or ‘solid’
- Color (adjust the ‘button color’ setting in the corresponding ‘Section Style 1/2/3’ area)
Site-wide music player
The ‘Pulse’ template features a site-wide music player, added through the ‘Edit Content’ tab. This player will appear on the right side of your website. It will pop up when clicked, and will continue to play music as visitors navigate your all of your website pages.
To customize the colors of the player, toggle on the ‘Use custom colors’ option in the ‘Edit Theme’ area, and adjust these settings:

Site-wide ‘My Sites’
Links to external platforms can be added through the ‘My Sites’ feature. There are two versions of the ‘My Sites’ feature: Site-wide (displays on each page, either in the header or footer section), and per-page.
With the ‘Pulse template’ the site-wide ‘My Sites’ icons will appear within the header area. You can control their placement within the header area with these options:
- Button size
- Button color
- Button hover color
- Button alignment: Left; Center; Right
- Button position: Top; Bottom
Variations
The 'Pulse' template offers four preset variations. Each one comes with a base palette of complementary colors. With each one, you can use the existing colours and simply add content, or adjust the colors and design options as you’d like.
Playful: Perfect for a project that is quirky and bright, the ‘Playful’ variation offers a bright yellow site title and menu.
Elegant: With a creamy palette and grey section background colors, this is great for an americana or roots band.
Sombre: This variation features a bold font for the site title and its preset section styles would look great with the Nashville header image filter.
Neutral: This variation incorporates greyscale tones for an effortless look.
‘Pulse’ template tips:
- Try different image filters, including a custom color filter, to add more graphic interest to your full-width header image.
- You can apply just one of the animation options for a subtle approach.
- Adjust your header height for your inner pages to add visual interest.
