How to Customize Sitewide Styles in the Websites 360 Design Panel

Customize Sitewide Styles

The Styles settings in the Design panel control how different elements look across your entire website. You can use these settings to change text, images, buttons, links, and more.

Important: These are Sitewide settings. Any change you make here will automatically update every matching item across your whole website.


Open the Sitewide Styles Menu

  1. Click Design at the top of your Websites app to open the Design panel.

  2. Look at the right-hand sidebar and click the Sitewide tab.

  3. Select Styles.


Styles Sub-Sections

You can edit nine main areas within the Styles menu. Review the guides below to see what you can customize in each section.


1. Controls

This section changes the colors, look, and actions of the interactive elements on your site:

  • Buttons: Controls every button layout and color on your site.

  • Links: Controls all standard hyperlinks.

5. Content Blocks

Adjust the spacing and frame styles for all of your website content blocks:

  • Container: This controls the area inside the block edges. You can apply a universal background color, texture, or image here. You can also adjust the default padding and spacing around the edges.
