The page uses a restrained visual system in which large architectural photographs carry most of the visual emphasis, while white text panels provide calm areas for reading. Pale blue backgrounds separate major editorial groups without breaking the overall continuity, and occasional dark overlays create stronger contrast where a featured story sits directly on an image. This alternation gives the page a recognizable styling rhythm rather than treating every section as an isolated composition.
The opening split section combines an asymmetric text panel with one large photograph above two smaller images, establishing the relationship between editorial content and image scale. Later, the full-width Shirley Ryan AbilityLab feature places a white card over a building image, while the three-column project grid repeats image-and-caption treatments for Two Manifolds, Sacromonte Landscape Hotel Shelters, and Hug & Link. The category tiles use compact white cards beside a large photograph, extending the same contrast into a directory-like area.
These repeated rules make the design suitable for CSS-oriented visual refinement: backgrounds, spacing, text widths, card borders, overlays, and typographic scale can be adjusted as a coordinated set. The page’s appearance depends less on decoration than on consistent contrast, image proportion, and panel placement.
Open this ready-made template in the CSS Template Builder and customize it visually in the Nicepage editor. Replace demo content, edit page sections, and adapt the design to your project without rebuilding the template from scratch.
Customize the visual appearance of this ready-made template directly in the Nicepage editor. Adjust typography, spacing, backgrounds, borders, colors, positioning, and other style properties using visual controls while keeping the page layout easy to manage without writing CSS manually.
For styling requirements that go beyond the standard editor options, use Custom CSS to add targeted rules. CSS can be applied to individual elements, specific pages, or the entire website depending on the scope of the customization, while CSS classes can be used to connect custom rules with selected elements.
For projects where CSS size and page performance matter, Nicepage can export minimal CSS for each page. Instead of relying on one larger common stylesheet, each page can use a separate CSS file containing only the style rules required for that particular page. According to Nicepage documentation, these page-specific CSS files can be about ten times more compact, helping reduce unnecessary CSS and improve page loading performance.
This workflow combines visual styling with optional custom CSS and optimized page-specific CSS output, giving you additional control when a project requires it without making manual CSS editing the primary way to customize the template.
