You can change the look of "News" pages with "Themes". Each page is constructed from the "News Items" and you can change the look of each of 3 levels in this:

• Page - The outer box for the whole page - change Border/Colour/Style
• News Item - The inner box for each News Item - change Border/Colour/Style
• News Title/Text - The actual title or text - change Border/Box Colour/Text Colour/Font/Font Size/Alignment/Bold

You can change each of these in "Web Administration" and as you change them, an example is shown alongside, but you may need to look at an actual page to see what it really looks like. You can get some interesting looking pages quite simply, such as changing the title to show in a pale colour on a dark background, increasing and/or changing the font and centre it.

The idea is that you can set up a theme which you can use in each of your "News" pages, then when you edit the item, you can just enter the text and you will have to resist putting extra style in there which will override the theme.

Note: the Style of Rounded/Shadow Box for the "Page" and "News Item" cannot presently be shown in the online example, you will need to view an actual page, but the effect of setting these at the "News Item"  is shown below.

Site Style

When you first set up your web site, it will be in a fairly plain style and default colour. You can change several aspects of the overall look of the website in Settings - Site Style. These apply to every page in the site.

• Site Colour - There are a number of colours to choose from. By selecting one of these colours, you will change the way the site shows and complementary colours have been carefully selected to enhance the site with a mixture of matching pale, light, dark and darker colours.
  • Apricot
  • Black
  • Blue
  • Burgundy
  • Green
  • Lilac
  • Purple
  • Red
  • Silver
  • Skyblue
  • Tan
  • Turquoise
• Background - There are a number of default images that can be used as a background on your web site, or you can design your own and upload it into the picture library. You will need to select an image and use Paint Software on your PC to create a fairly transparent image.
• Font - You can select an overall font style and size
• Banner - The banner across the top of the web page can be adjusted to suit. You can have a picture at the left and/or right; the centre defaults to the club name in a font/style that can be amend via the options provided, or it can also be an uploaded picture. You can use one of the Bridgewebs pictures or upload one of your own, See Picture Library. Some pictures are best shown on a white background, so you can also change the style of the banner to suit your pictures. You may need to experiment.
• Main Page Style - similarly you may want to change the Main Page Style to suit the way you would like to see it.
