Site branding
Customize every visual aspect of your site: templates, colors, logos, layouts, and more. All with real-time preview.
Accessing the branding editor
From the Fanz dashboard, go to Website → Branding.
Browser preview
On the right side of the screen, you'll see a browser previewer that shows exactly how your site looks in real-time.
Note: This previewer also appears in the Homepage and Pages menus. It's the same tool for viewing changes in real-time.
Previewer actions
In the top right corner of the previewer you have:
| Icon | Action |
|---|---|
| Desktop | See how it looks on computers |
| Mobile | See how it looks on phones |
| Arrow ↗ | Open your actual site in a new tab |
Important: You can navigate within the previewer, click on events, and see how changes look on different pages (homepage, event detail, etc.).
Sidebar menus
The left sidebar has 5 menus to customize different aspects of the site:
1. Template
Choose from 8 pre-designed templates that define the overall visual style of your site:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Base | Default template, balanced and versatile |
| Bold | Strong and eye-catching design |
| Bright | Vivid and energetic colors |
| Clean | Minimalist and professional |
| Organic | Natural and fluid style |
| Pulse | Dynamic, ideal for nightlife events |
| Simple | Straightforward and direct |
| Vivid | Vibrant and colorful |
What each template includes:
- Default layout (footer, navbar, typography)
- Header banner design
- Custom colors
- Box roundness (border-radius)
- Element shadows
When you click on a template, you immediately see the changes in the previewer without saving anything. You can try all templates and only save when you find the one you like.
2. Layout
Choose the style of navbar, footer, and typography. There are 6 options available:
| Layout | Style |
|---|---|
| Standard | Classic and functional |
| Floating Modern | Modern with floating elements |
| Classic Elegant | Elegant and sophisticated |
| Bold Split | Split and striking |
| Old Theatre | Vintage theatrical style |
| Organic Cultural | Cultural and artistic |
Each layout has a navbar and footer design that match, plus specific typography.
Note: The layout can override the default layout of the template you chose. First choose the template, then adjust the layout if you want something different.
3. Logos
Configure your brand logos:
Main site logo
Used in:
- Site navbar
- Site footer
- Tickets (by default)
- Communication emails
Recommendations:
- Format: PNG with transparent background

- Recommended size: 200 × 200 px (1:1 ratio, square)
- Format: PNG
Note: If you don't sell memberships, you can leave it empty.
4. Colors
Customize site colors. Each template has default colors, but you can override them.
Essential
| Color | Use |
|---|---|
| Primary | Your brand's main color. Buttons, links, highlighted elements |
| Secondary | Support color. Secondary elements, alternative backgrounds |
Text
| Color | Use |
|---|---|
| Text color | Main text color on the page |
| Button text | Text color inside buttons and elements with primary background. Important to have contrast |
Backgrounds
| Color | Use |
|---|---|
| Main background | General site background color |
| Navigation bar | Navbar background |
| Footer | Footer background |
| Input fields | Form field backgrounds |
Borders & shadows
| Color | Use |
|---|---|

| Box shadow | Element shadows |
| Hover shadow | Shadows when hovering over clickable elements |
| Light shadow | Soft shadows for specific cases |
Color presets
At the top of the colors menu, you have light and dark mode presets. Click one to apply a predefined set of colors.
Restore individual colors
Next to each color there's a button to restore to template default. If you modified a color and want to return to the template's original, use this button.
⚠️ Important: If you change colors and then switch templates, all colors reset to the new template's defaults except primary and secondary. That's why we recommend first choosing the template and then adjusting colors.
5. Options
Configure additional site options:
Purchase button text
The text that appears on the main purchase button on the event page.
| Language | Default value |
|---|---|
| Spanish | "Comprar" |
| English | "Buy" |
You can customize it (e.g., "Get tickets", "Reserve", "Buy now").
⚠️ Important: When customizing the text, you lose automatic translation. You can only enter a single value that will be used for both languages. If your site is bilingual, consider using a word that works in both languages or leave the default value.
Show initial price
Choose whether to show the "from" price above the purchase button:
- Enabled: Shows "From $50" above the button
- Disabled: Only shows the button without price reference
Saving changes
When you make any change, a save button appears at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Save: Permanently applies changes to your live site
- Exit without saving: If you try to exit with the back arrow, you'll be warned about unsaved changes
Checklist before saving
- ✅ Check how it looks in desktop view
- ✅ Check how it looks in mobile view
- ✅ Navigate to an event in the previewer to see how changes affect it
- ✅ If everything looks good, save the changes
