Contents

You can customize the colors and text on any BookFunnel page. Looking for inspiration? See examples of quick customization options in our blog post about custom themes and our “What Makes Readers Click” blog post.

  2. Click the book title.
  3. Click the Action button next to the page you want to edit.
  4. Select Edit Page.
  5. Click Landing Page Settings

Use Italics and Bold Text To Add Emphasis To Your Headings

You can add emphasis to certain words or phrases in your heading1 and heading2.

To use italics, add a * before and after the text in your headings or book description. Italics example:

She *desperately* scanned the horizon.

To bold certain words or phrases, add ** before and after the text. Bold example:

This baby needs a nap **right now**.

(The * is only in the examples above to make clear how to add them to your heading. They will not be displayed on the book page.)

Center Your Headings

To center your heading1 or heading2, use -= at the beginning of your heading and =- at the end. Center example:

-=This heading is now centered!=-

FAQ

I don't have a Page Layout drop-down so I can't change my layout. Why?

If you don’t see the Page Layout drop-down, you are editing the book, not the download page. Follow the steps above to locate your landing page so that you can change its design options.

Can I use the new background and accent colors on my old BookFunnel pages?

Yes, everyone can use these new themes and accent colors. If you are currently using a legacy page layout, you will need to switch to the BookFunnel Default layout, and then select your new colors. See step-by-step instructions above.

I have a new background/accent color selected, but my page still shows the old layout?

You must select the BookFunnel Default layout. Click on the Page Layout drop-down menu and select the BookFunnel Default layout. Then you can experiment with the different color combinations.

Can I still use the old layout(s) on my new pages?

Yes. Click the Page Layout drop-down and select one of the old layouts. None of the custom colors will apply. Remember to save your changes.

Where can I see examples of these download themes and colors?

You can find examples in our blog post about custom themes and in our “What Makes Readers Click” blog post.
