Your layout comes with its own look. Make it even more yours in your dashboard under Style. A background colour is free; the rest comes with Boost.
Your background
- The look’s own: what the template comes with.
- A colour: any colour you like. This one is free.
- A gradient (Boost): two colours, top to bottom, diagonal, side to side, rising, or a glow in the middle.
- A photo (Boost): one of your site’s photos, or upload a new one. Give it an effect (Fade, Blur, Grain or Duotone) and a shade: Darken or Lighten keeps your words readable on any photo. With No shade, we pick dark or white words from the photo’s colours.
Some templates keep a sheet of their own, like Receipt’s paper, Card’s card or Résumé’s page: there, your background goes behind the sheet and the words keep their colours.
Words and cards
- Words: Automatic picks dark or white words, whichever reads best on your background. Or pick My own colour.
- Cards and boxes: the look’s own, or My own colour. The words on them are made readable too.
We check how easy your words are to read (their contrast, the way accessibility guidelines measure it: 4.5 to 1 or more reads well). If a colour you picked makes them hard to read, Style says so, with what helps.
What else you can change
- Font: Rounded, Doodle, Handwritten, Elegant, Bookish, Clean, Code or Pixel, or the look’s own.
- Headings: a font of their own for your name and titles, or the same as the font.
- Your name: make it Wave, Bounce, Rainbow, Glow, Glitch or Sparkly.
- The line about you: Typewriter, Decode, Fade in word by word, or Marquee.
- Profile effect: Sparkles, Snow, Hearts, Petals, Shooting stars, Bubbles, Fireflies or Confetti, floating over your page.
- Your colour: for buttons and little touches. Violet, pink, sky, mint, sun, coral or ink, or mix your own with the colour picker.
- Buttons: Soft, Pill, Square, Outline, Chunky shadow, Filled with your colour or Frosted glass.
- Picture shape: Circle, Rounded square, Square or Blob.
- Your @username and badges: show them next to your name, or leave them out (in Home page, under At the top of your page). That’s where you hide the ✦ Boost badge, and the Verified badge if your page has one. Your picture can be left out there too, also on Free. See Your name, words and picture.
- Hide the “made with Nyni” tag at the bottom of your page.
Changed your mind? Reset to the template’s look undoes it all in one click. (It leaves your picture, @username and badges as they are.)
Picking a website template sets a website’s header for you: just your name, without your picture or your @username. Switch them back on any time. See Pick a template.
Trying it on Free
On Free, a background colour is saved on your page. You can still play with every other option: the preview shows how it looks, but it’s only saved with Boost. Get Boost and whatever you tried is kept.
When Boost ends, your style goes back to the template’s look. A background colour stays.
Note: Hiding the Nyni tag never hides Report this page. That link stays on every page, so anyone can tell us about a problem.
