Designing your website: templates, colors, and Design with AI

To change how your website looks, choose Change the look at the top of the website builder, or open the Design tab. Templates, colors and fonts change the style, never your animal records, and every change waits in your draft until you publish.

Browse templates

Change the look (or Browse templates in the Design tab) opens Choose a look that feels like you. Every preview uses your own animals and records, and browsing does not change your draft.

Pick a category: Breeding programs, Farms & livestock, Rescues & nonprofits or Services, boarding & training.
Made for you marks the template that best fits your records.
The colored dots under a card show its color palettes.
Start simple closes the gallery and keeps your current look.

Have a website somewhere else? The Already have a website? card brings it over.

Try a template and apply it

Select a card to see a large preview. Previewing doesn't change your draft. Pick a color under Choose a palette, then choose the button that names the template, such as Apply Lineage to draft.

On a website you have already edited, Creatures asks you to confirm:

Change the look? appears when you set up your website from your goals. Your homepage sections, words, photos and other pages stay as they are. Only the style changes.
Change template? appears on other websites. The new template replaces the sections on your homepage. Any text that can't carry over is listed, so copy it before you choose Change template.

Your other pages never change, and the new look saves to your draft.

Let Design with AI suggest a look

In the Design tab, describe the feel you want in Design with AI, or tap an example: Warm & editorial, Clean & modern or Premium boutique. You can also paste up to three website addresses you like. Then choose Design my theme.

Creatures picks a template, hero style, accent color and spacing, explains its choice in one line, and saves the new design to your draft. Don't like it? Open Unpublished changes and choose Undo next to Website design changed. That puts every design setting back to your live version. If you also changed your website settings, the item reads Website design and settings changed, and Undo puts those back too.

There is a daily limit. If you reach it, you'll see "You've hit today's AI design limit." Other Design with AI buttons in the builder only open this panel with a suggested description.

Fine-tune the details

In the Design tab:

Hero style sets the big photo at the top of your homepage: Split (photo beside the words), Cover banner (words over a wide photo) or Spotlight (centered, photo first).
Under Brand tuning, Accent is the color of your buttons and links. Density is Comfortable (more space) or Compact (more on screen). Heading font and Body font start at Theme default.
Favicon is the small icon in browser tabs. Choose Upload and use a square image at least 180 pixels wide.

Choose Edit next to Cards & records to pick what each animal card shows. Under Animal cards, turn Name, Sex, Color, Variety, Grade, Age, Price or Latest certification on or off. A male you offer for stud on Creatures also shows his stud fee on his card. That line stays on even when Price is off. Under Records, add a Pedigree preview, Health, Genetics or COI (inbreeding). COI is a number that shows how closely related an animal's parents are. These choices change only your website, never your animal records.

Organization websites

An organization's Design tab also has Site logo, which uses the organization's profile photo. Change logo updates both right away, without waiting for you to publish. Until you upload a favicon, your Site logo also shows in browser tabs, and Favicon says "Using your Site logo."

Check your work

Switch the preview to See it as a visitor, and use the computer and phone buttons above the preview to check both sizes. Preview your site opens the visitor view in a new tab. When it looks right, publish your changes.
