When you select a design for your store in the Design Wizard, you can choose from a pre-designed template or a generic template.

Pre-designed templates are a more visually interesting choice, as they include images throughout. With any of the pre-designed templates, both the layout and the color palette have been preselected, and customized images are in place.

You can customize any aspect of a pre-designed template by:

• Uploading your own logo or entire site header
• Changing any of the images used in the template by uploading new images
• Changing any of the color values used in the template

As with the example shown above, if the theme you select has a background color or image within the body, you'll need images that have either a transparent background or a background of the same color. Some pre-designed templates have a white background.

Generic templates are more flexible in terms of customizing, because you can select your navigation layout (side or top) and the color palette you want to use. Learn more about generic templates.
