Web Support : Updater 4.2 Support : Website Styles

» Are you a visual learner?
   Check out our concise, step-by-step video tutorial on Updater's Website Styles tool.

While the layout, color palette and typestyles of your website have been professionally designed by the AcuWeb Design Team, we recognize that there may be an occasional need to globally adjust the color, size, and type fonts across your site. For this reason we provide a master Website Styles control panel, where you may selectively alter such settings. 

However, there are many more style characteristics of your site than can be controlled from here. AcuWeb uses advanced CSS, or "Cascading Style Sheets," to efficiently manage the many technical parameters which help make your site run smoothly.  If you find it necessary to change a style parameter that can't be addressed from the Website Styles control panel, please contact the AcuWeb Technical Support Team using the "AcuWeb Support" link, found in the footer at the bottom of your website.

1. To get to Website Styles, go to the AcuWeb Menu and choose "Website Styles" from the drop-down list.
   
   
2. You will be brought to the Website stiles list view.

Styles can be divided into fie (5) sections: 1.) Headers, 2.) Links, 3.) Text Styles, 4.) Navigation, and 5.) Backgrounds.

Each section has six (6) customizable parts:

1. Font
2. Size
3. Style
4. Text Color
5. Background Color
6. No Underline
