Two separate decisions
The template decides the shape of your page: poster, plain card, or a card you can turn over. The style decides the surface: colours and type.
They don't interfere with each other, and neither one touches your content. Switching templates after everything is filled in is safe, and usually faster than deciding in advance — the preview updates as you click.
The poster templates want a photo
Several templates are built around a full-bleed image. Without one they fall back to something plainer, which is fine but not what they're for.
The cover accepts JPG, PNG and WebP. Portrait photos work best — the frame is tall, so a wide landscape shot gets cropped to its middle and usually loses the subject. If you only have a landscape photo, one of the plain card templates will treat it better than a poster will.
The plain templates want nothing
Minimal and card layouts need a name, a picture and your links, and they're the safest choice when you don't have a photo you like. They also stay legible when someone opens the page on an old phone in bright sunlight, which the image-heavy ones don't always manage.
Styles are per template
Picking a style saves it against the template you're currently on. Change the colours while you're on one template, switch to another, and the second one keeps its own style rather than inheriting what you just did.
This is deliberate: a palette that looks right on a dark poster rarely looks right on a light card. It also means trying a template out costs you nothing — your settings on the old one are still there when you switch back.
The controls that appear later
Some things only show up once the template that uses them is selected:
- Badge and corner text — the small type on the turnable cards. Short works; a sentence doesn't fit.
- Pause floating — those cards drift gently by default. If you find that distracting on your own page, switch it off; it stays off for visitors too.
The turnable cards are a Pro feature. You can select one and look at it in the preview before deciding; saving is what asks you to upgrade.
Check both widths
The preview switches between desktop and phone. Check the phone one before publishing — it's where nearly everyone will open the link, and a cover photo that reads well on a wide screen sometimes crops badly on a narrow one.
Browsing before committing
Every template has a page of its own in the gallery, with a full-size preview. It's an easier way to compare than clicking through the picker one by one.
