you are now editing the page!
this is the settings box - there are various tabs containing various
customization options for your startpage experience.
this box is adjustable, just like every layer you add to the page.
you can drag it around the page, and dragging with right click will
adjust the size of the layer.
on the "layers" tab, you can add two types of layers to the page:
your changes will be saved to the page when you exit editing mode.
if you've made edits you wish to undo/revert, refresh the page without disabling
editing mode. this will bring you back to the last saved state.
that concludes the basics. there's some more advanced information below:
tips and tricks
+
there are some keyboard shortcuts for your convenience:
"e" = enables editing mode
esc = disables editing mode (and saves page)
"1"-"4" = jump between settings box tabs
if you've accidentally pressed down on a "delete" button and want to cancel, you can hit escape before releasing the mouse button to save your progress and abort deletion.
floating text:
for floating text anywhere on the page, remove the border and set the
background opacity of a layer to zero.
then, add new sections to the
layer without any link information (sections can be added on their own).
customize the layer's "section" text to your liking and place the text
wherever you want.
setting fonts
+
you can use any font that is available on
google fonts.
beware, if you have multiple font families selected (it keeps track of
all of the fonts you press "get font" on), only the first one will be
loaded. also, only regular versions of fonts are supported.
to load a font:
1.) on google fonts, open a font you like, and press the "get font"
button. then, press the "get embed code" button.
2.) there will be a section on the right with various tabs ("web",
"android", "ios", ..) under the "web" tab (you are already probably
on it), click the "copy code" button under the option titled:
"embed code in the <head> of your html" (it should be a
few lines starting with "<link ...", right at the very top)
3.) paste copied contents into the "change font" input, found on the desired
layer's "text options"
sharing / backing pages up
+
you can export your entire current page's setup to your clipboard in the
"import / export" tab. open a text file and paste the contents to store
your theme for later or for sharing with others.
to load in a theme, simply paste the output of the export button into the
"import" input, and refresh the page.
export current setup to clipboard (see help tab for more information):
