Style Guides: Overview
The Style guide controls how your pages look. Or at least what the default colours and style settings should be. Here’s a quick Table of Contents to help you navigate this guide: Two Types of Pages that Use Style Guides: For 2.0 Landing Pages and Site Pages For System and Community Pages Create a New Style Guide or Switch to an Existing One Review All Your Style Guides or Change the Default Style Guide If you prefer to learn using videos, check out our How-to Video on Style Guides. For more in-depth knowledge, our Training Workshop on Style guides explains this in detail!  Types of Pages that Use Style Guides Now, there are two types of pages that use Style Guides. 2.0 Landing Pages and Site Pages - These are all the pages that you can build and design yourself (either inside or outside a site). You will be able to choose a style guide for the pages and then use those colors while creating your designs. System and Community Pages - These are the pages that Simplero creates for you (for example: your order forms, scheduling link booking page, worksheets, surveys...). Some of the colours on these pages can be defined using style guides.  Here’s how it works:  For 2.0 Landing Pages and Site Pages: You can have as many style guides as you like and use them for pre-formatting the Sections, Rows, Columns, and Elements on your pages.  You’ll normally want to start by defining your style guide first before you build your page sections. The style guide for these pages comes from the style guide of the Landing Page, or the style guide of the Site (if it’s a Site page). For Site pages, go to Marketing >> Main Website or Content >> Sites and switch your site to the New Community Experience. Here’s our guide on how to do that. Then select the Style Guide tab: You can also press the View site in new tab icon in the top right-hand corner: Then press the “S” menu in the top left-hand corner and choose Edit Style Guide from the dropdown menu: For Landing Pages, head to Marketing >> Landing Pages, open the page and click on the Style Guide button: Now you can customise its colours, fonts, buttons, borders, and shadows: You’ll notice that in every level of the page (Sections, Rows, Columns, Elements) you can click on the title to open the Format Settings on the right sidebar. We’ll pull the colours set up on the style guide, but you can override/customise them using the 3 dots option on the far right for each of them: You can also find these settings by clicking on the Section, Row, Column or Element on the Navigation List on the right:   For System and Community Pages: New Community Experience and System pages such as Scheduling Links and Order Forms use style guides to determine the colours and fonts, among other styling features.  These pages can use one of the following style guides: Site Style Guides - if the URL is linked to that site The Default Style Guide - if the URL is not linked to a site  The changes in your default style guide affect all system pages and community pages (when not linked to a site) If you want to know what each one of the colours in these style guides affect, head to this guide. The changes in your default style guide affect all system pages and community pages.   Create a New Style Guide or Switch to an Existing One:  To create a new style guide or pick from another existing style guide, click on the Style Guide button and press Switch at the top left of the style guide editor: Then click on Create a new style guide or select from the existing ones:   NOTE! Style guides are available across your account and can be used in multiple landing pages at the same time. If you make any changes to a style guide that is used across multiple landing pages, these changes will apply to all of them unless you’ve used custom formatting. Style guides are available across your account and can be used in multiple Landing Pages or Sites at the same time. WARNING! If you make any changes to a style guide that is used across multiple landing pages or sites, these changes will apply to all of them unless you’ve used custom formatting. Review All Your Style Guides or Change the Default Style Guide  You can edit your current Style guides under the Marketing tab >> Style Guides: To change your default Style guide to a different one, hover over any other available Style guide or create a new one, then click on Make default: To edit a style guide click on the grey pencil icon: On the left side bar you'll find Colours, Fonts, Buttons, Borders, and Shadows settings: Inside Colours and Fonts, you'll notice there's a System colours and System font section: They determine colours and fonts used by default in system pages (pages that do not belong to a site or community). The editors across Simplero also pull colours from your Default Style Guide colour palette, as well as the Site Style Guide colour palette if you are in the context of a site. You can add as many custom colours as you need on the Account and/or Site style guide, so they are available to you on the editor:   IMPORTANT NOTE! Order forms use the Main Website style guide unless you navigate to the order form through a different site that uses its own Style guide. You can learn more about how the colours for order forms and other system pages work in this guide.

Page Builder 2.0 - Sections and Elements
Add a Section The first thing you need to add to your landing page is a section: Options will show up on a popup. Pick either from the templates or a blank section (bottom left corner of the popup): NOTE! This popup will also appear when you first create the page, to help guide you ✨ When you hover on the section, you’ll be able to perform several actions: Open the Section Settings, duplicate the Section, or delete the Section. Open the Column Settings, duplicate the Column, delete the Column, and adjust the Column Width. Add an Element to the Column, add a new Row, or add a new Section. Add an Element Wherever there’s a plus button, you can add an element to it. Click on it to pick among the different element types! In the popup, you’ll see a whole bunch of element options to choose from. Spoiler alert: There are several 🎉 There are 5 Categories of Elements: General: Preheadline, Headline, Subheadline, Paragraph, Bullet list, Button, Input, Progress Bar, Countdown timer Objects: Blog posts, Contact form, Courses, Events, Order form, Products, Scheduling link, Search bar, Survey, Testimonial form, Testimonials Layout: Stack, Spacer Media: Audio, Image, Video, QR Code Advanced: HTML, iFrame We’ll go through some of the most popular elements from each category below: General Elements Text If you select a General text element such as a Preheadline, Headline, Subheadline or Paragraph, you can type in the text directly on the element preview. NOTE! When you select the text, a floating text editor will also be displayed for text formatting: Buttons There are 5 actions available to fire when someone clicks on a Button: Go to link Opt-in to a list Open page popup Register for an event Popup order form 1-click purchase Scroll to Section on page Scroll to Row on page Scroll to another section on the page Download a file from your Media Library Inputs (or Form Fields) Select the field the input will be used for, then choose a Label Style (Above field, Inline, or Floating): Inputs are generally used alongside buttons to build an Opt-In Form, but they are not limited to that use case. Bullet lists This will create a list: You can change the icons by clicking on Browse icons on the right side and following steps 5 and 6 in this guide.  Object Elements: Contact form In the contact form settings, you can choose the following: Forward submissions to an email address or create a support ticket Show a message after they submit the form, or redirect to a URL Label Style - Above Field, Inline or Floating Customise the Button Choose the Labels for the Name, Email and How can I serve you? fields Order form Embed an order form for any of your products. This is a great way to customise product checkouts. First, choose the Product to connect the order form to: You can also choose which Price is automatically selected by toggling on the Lock Price option: You can hide the Order Summary: You can add a Decline Offer link beneath the payment button: You can disable Coupon Removal, which hides the cross to remove an applied coupon: And you can limit to 1 Applied Coupon, which means once there's a coupon applied, the customer won't have the option to replace it with another coupon: Layout Elements: Spacer Add space between any of your elements by adding the Spacer element. Choose the height (in pixels) Add a horizontal line (optional) Media Elements: Pick the media file from your library using the media box or the +Add button on the right sidebar. You’ll also have the option to customise other media specific settings like Alt text or Link URL for Images, or whether to Loop the Video or Audio file. Advanced Elements: HTML If you need to embed a script code on the page, for example, you can use this element:   Add a Popup With the Page builder 2.0, it’s easy to add a popup to your page. Click on the Popup icon to customise the popup content and format, then click on ‘Add section’ to add elements to your popup or start from a template: Only Show on Some Devices When you make changes to Tablet or Mobile settings (on the right side bar), these changes will only appear for the device you make them on (this is called Responsive Mode). However you can also set any Section, Row, Column or Element to only show up on certain devices at any time. For example, if you need to add or delete certain rows, columns or elements inside a section and you only want these changes to show up on tablet, these changes would also affect desktop and mobile. So you’ll want to duplicate the section and have each one show up on a different device (based on the changes you make). To show your section only on some devices (Mobile, Tablet, or Desktop), hover over that section on the list of sections on the right-hand side and choose the devices that you want to show it on: You can also hide it from all visitors by clicking on  next to the section title, or choose All to show it on all devices again. Reminder! You can also do this for a Row, Column or Element. Saved and Global Blocks You can save any Section, Row or Element as a Saved Block and use it later in any other page. You can also save it as Global Block. Any change you make to a Global Block will be automatically updated everywhere you're using that Global Block! This very powerful feature enables you to do things that were either not possible or very hard to do with the old builder. Save It as a Saved or Global Block: See and Select Your Saved and Global Blocks When You Add a New Section: Edit the Global Block: Your changes will update everywhere the Block is in use: You can manage Saved blocks via Account settings >> Marketing >> Saved blocks: Remove the Global Block This will make the block become a regular section again. Inside the builder, click on the unlink button: You can also delete it from the saved blocks table.

Page Builder 2.0 - Responsive Mode
When working on Page Builder 2.0, we can switch from the top icons to see the preview of our page on Browser, Tablet, and Mobile: We also have the ability to edit their settings individually, which is called "responsive mode".  When using the tablet or mobile view, you will see a banner warning that responsive mode is active. Tablet View: Mobile View: When in responsive mode, only edits made on the right-hand panel will apply exclusively to the view from the limit px indicated via the banner. Moving or adding elements will edit all views.  Mobile view will default to 640px due to the page builder breakpoint which aligns with most devices being in landscape mode. Most mobile devices are around 350px which you can reduce the size either on the top: Or by moving in the bars on the sides of the page: This will allow you to ensure that your page is showing a more accurate mobile view of your live page. Any aspects of the page that have set pixel specifications will also need to be adjusted for the mobile view in order to continue staying responsive. Otherwise, you can always utilize % for sizing. Automatic Stack of Row Columns In Mobile view, rows with several columns will automatically stack in individual rows. You can adjust the way rows are stacked (reverse stack) or to not stack at all (none). For example, the automatic stack order of the Bourbon design is the first column (text) at the top, then second column on the row (image) below it: “Stacked in reverse order” under Row Settings > Advanced allows you to place the image at the top, then the text below it: If you want to hide or show elements per view, you can hide elements based on view as explained in this guide.

Page Builder 2.0 - Version History

Locate the 3 dots menu on the top right corner of the page editor to select it: You can click on any version to see the changes made on the page, and restore the version via the 3 dots dropdown menu next to it. We will also highlight the change that was made for easier recognition: Undo & Redo Use the back and forward arrow buttons at the top of the editor to go back and forward through the changes you’ve made:
