‘Alma’ stylishly displays a frame around your content which stays in place as the website scrolls. The frame itself houses social media links, a music player, the navigation menu, and your band name or logo. ‘Alma’ also features new styling options for your frame, which expands on what the ‘Anthem’ theme already offers. Fully customize the color of your SiteWide Music Player, blur the border into your header image or add drop-shadow to your frame border to give your site a more three-dimensional feel.

Variations
Every Bandzoogle website template comes with color variations to help get you started. Depending on your style of music, one of these variants of ‘Alma’ may be exactly what you’re looking for, with no tweaking needed. Or you can take any one and customize its colors and images to make it fully your own.
Playful: The bright color palette in the Playful variation gives an electric feel to the ‘Alma’ theme. The soft yellow menu buttons, call-to-action, and frame color contrast gently against the teal background color, giving just the right amount of pop to your text. This variant is great for DJs and beat producers.
Elegant: This variation exudes sophistication and refinement. It uses a sleek combination of white and a soft gray, with a muted faded pink, creating a clean and crisp look that is both modern and timeless. The title font is a decorative serif font, adding a touch of flair to the overall design. With its understated yet chic design, this website template is perfect for classical music composers or softer, more ambient genres.
Neutral: The contrast of black and white here creates a striking visual effect, highlighting each element of your header. If you’re making use of our call-to-action feature, this color scheme will really make it stand out. This theme variation would be perfect for an indie rock or hardcore punk band, or even a jazz musician.
Sombre: This variation combines black, gray, and a soft faded orange to create a deep and trance-like vibe. Perfect for a hip-hop artist or EDM producer. It places the focus on your header image, so if you have a photo that you want to be the star of the show, this variant is for you.
Minimal: The use of soft pastel colors creates a sense of calmness and tranquility in this Minimal variant, making it ideal for musicians with a more low-key style, such as R&B or folk artists. Gentle yellow menu buttons and frame border allow for perfect harmony with a bright header image. The thin title font lends a sense of airiness, complementing the overall soft and delicate aesthetic.
Bold: This variation of ‘Alma’ makes the text and your background color the focal point of the page. To get the best effect, match a color in your header image to your background color to create a continuous, cohesive look.
