Experiencing an issue?

Selecting a Template

A template is a web page, or set of website pages, with a predesigned structure, cohesive design, and easy to modify content. The Sinorbis platform currently comes with 2 website template options and 8 landing page template options.

Working with a template reduces your design and build time so that you can focus on content. The main drawback is that a template may not have all of the stylistic elements you want. The good news is that the Sinorbis templates are easy to configure with the Drag and Drop components and style tools.

In this article, you learn how to find the website templates and choose the best option for your project.

4  Changing the template

Changing the template is possible but not recommended.

If you start building a website with one template and then change to the other template, the system does not replace your existing pages. The system simply adds new pages.

As a result, you might end up with 17 pages in your Web Content area. You then need to spend time moving content and deleting pages.
