Custom Templates

The Custom Templates by Nicepage allow you to stylize pages that output Blog, Post, and Products differently. For example, you can have Product Details pages with different layouts and styling pages for goods and categories differently on one website. It allows you to quickly and consistently add other elements, layout, and styling for a particular template to make the pages using that template easy to recognize by your visitors.

Best Practice: Placing One or Multi-Select Elements in a Row

Many layouts require the Grid and Grid Repeater Elements for making the automatic responsiveness on the Mobile Views. Add we see that in many cases, users put images and texts without containers, simply duplicating one or multi-selected Elements. Therefore, we have added the Best Practice helping them by turning the copied Elements placed in a Row into the Grid Repeater Element.
