ArtSites Updates

Well, Geoff's been at it again! :-D

For quite some time, we've been allowing you to customize the fonts on your website.

However, doing this required some "behind-the-scenes" coding by us.

Well, Geoff has now exposed this functionality to YOU! Woohoo!

You now have access to over 650 brand new fonts for your website!

Here's how you can install new fonts:

  1. Go to the Fonts tab in your Admin Panel
  2. When you get there, you will see all the built-in fonts on the left side and the newer fonts on right side. Once here, you can:
  3. Enter some text in the "Sample Text" field. (Please note that this will be initially pre-filled with the "Title" of your website. - see red box above)
  4. Install as many fonts as you want, by just clicking on "install" (see red arrow above)
  5. Scroll through the MANY pages, by clicking the Next Page or Last Page at the bottom of the Font list on the right side. (see red box above)

Once you have installed your fonts, you can:

  1. Change the Default Font for Your ENTIRE Website
    Just follow the steps in this Change Your Website Font Tutorial.

    Or,
  2. Change the Fonts for your Title and/or Tagline
    Here's how:
    1. Go to your Layout tab in your Admin Panel
    2. Scroll down to the "Website Header" section
    3. Select the Font, Size, Colour, Bold, Italic, and Shadow Option.
      You'll note that the text will automatically update as you select each option.
    4. When you are done, be sure to click the "Update Website Layout and Header" button to save your choices!

(When you have decided which fonts you want to use, we recommend that you remove any other newly installed ones that you're NOT using because unnecessary fonts can impact the performance of your website.)

So, go and try out some new fonts! :-)

And, if you have any further questions or issues, please just let us know!
