Tech Details

Editing is done via the Cloud. Your data is stored at your own host

Visitors to your site will see a single page, responsive site, with images already sized appropriately for their devices. Any other pages of your site will already be completely assembled and are loaded when requested (when they click a link or menu item). The only processing at that point is to retrieve the html from your site.

When creating and editing your website, Javascript based editors on Google Cloud are downloaded to your browser. Data needed to create the page theway you've chosen is stored in Xml on your site's host, as is all the media on your pages, and your published site.

After all your editing is done, the end result will be an html document on your host's site.

Visual Art Template, Solidstate Style

by Fourth Ring Software

Fourth Ring Software took HTML5UP's Solidstate design and adapted it into the same CMS in all our other templates! You might have seen the original, dark blue design with cirular images. This template comes with that, too, but it's set up having diagonal shades of alternating white and very light gray as the background, and with slightly rounded corners.

If you don't like the alternating shades of white and light grey, you can choose to have the original dark blue background of large diagonal shades of blue that get darker with each new section. Or you can have them in shades of green or shades of grey. Your choice.

The images can be changed to display with rounded corners or with normal, sharp corners. Or you can have your images display with a circular or oval shape (depening on the aspect ratio of each one).

You can also choose to have the original very wide margins on either side of the content, or you can have the content spread out more when it's viewed with a wider device.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.


There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work up close. And you can set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.

The template comes with a seperate type of page to list Exhibits. And there are Contact pages, complete with Google Maps and Customizable Contact Forms (that can even use Google ReCaptcha).

You'll have almost complete control over the Fonts (including Google Fonts and FontAwesome). If you want a different font, you can go to the Google Font page and copy the name of the font you want, paste it into the space for it in one of the "helper" editors, and press Update. When the page reloads, you'll be able to choose that font from the dropdown list of fonts available in all the editors. Font-Size, Weight, and Color can all be controlled from the "helper"editors, too.


You can blog, too!


Think you might want to start writing about your work? You can always set up a Blog page to do that, too. That's included with this template.

You write your blog using a full blown HTML editor, so you can control much more than just the text. Or, you can just type in what you want without changing the layout at all. It's your choice. The editor works in What You See is What You Get mode, so you're always aware of how it looks.

There's a Read Mode Button feature, so you can decide what and how much of your blog you want to display initially. While you're writing the blog, you can click the Read More button so it will expand or contract, so it's very easy to move things around and to see how it will look before and after it expands.

When setting up each Blog page, you can control how many blogs display on the page. The ones not displayed will be appear as links in the side column (or beneath the displayed blogs if you choose not to have a side column). The links are automatically generated, taking the title, the first picture, and some of the text from the blog itself. It's a cool feature that you can decide to use in this template at any time.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

The links to blogs not being displayed at the time are also formated in the same way. You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.

When writing each blog, you can also choose to tag them, adding as many single words that you see fit. Once you've begun doing that, the tags will appear appear on the page. When clicked, they operate like filters, displaying only the blogs that are tagged with that word. If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Blogging Template, New York Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template has an elegant style that will remind you of greats like the inside of The New Yorker magazine.

It uses the "Josefin Slab" Google font and thin lines to create a sophisticated look. The bold header is from the "Junge" Google Font. (The fonts can be easily changed to use any of the thousand Google Fonts.)

You write your blog using a full blown HTML editor, so you can control much more than just the text. Or, you can just type in what you want without changing the layout at all. It's your choice. The editor works in What You See is What You Get mode, so you're always aware of how it looks.

Please understand that this is set up as a Blogging template, but it can also be used for many other types of pages.

Grid Pages let you display your photographs in standard gallery-like ways.


This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes.

Tumblr-Like Template, Printer's Row Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template is set up as a Tumblr-like page. You can post any text or picture in a Grid. Clicking on any of the cells will display it full screen.

It uses the "Architects Daughter" Google font and a background picture to create the casual, personal feel. It takes advantage of one of the special Grid drivers that displays each cell with a random size that will be different each time the page is loaded.

The size of each cell in the Grid will be determined at random, maximizing the differences in the size of each cell. Each time it's displayed it the sizes and arrangement will be different. You can control the relative size of each cell in the grid, by moving a lever in the Page Editor. Regardless of the sizes, it wil also maintain the aspect ratio of each image, so the entire picture will always display without cutting anything off.

Unlike the actual Tumblr site, you can have as many of these pages that you want! So you can have different pages focusing on different topics.

It's also customizeable, right out of the box! Don't want a background picture? Simple to change. Just click the "Remove Picture" button and decide if you want the default background color. If you don't want that you can always pick another color for the background.

Don't like something about the text? Also simple to change. You can even choose your own Google Font. It's easier than you might think. The hard part will probably trying to decide which of the thousand they have there.

You're not limited to just displaying everything like a Tumblr page, either. You can also display your images in uniform, fixed sized cells specifying both the width abd height, or with only the height varying and the width constant which can add a uniformity to the page without sacrificing the aspect ratio of any of the pictures.

With the fixed width and height Grids, you can also choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area of the cell with your image. And you can choose to write something that will appear right next to an image, on one of the four sides.

And any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and standardized text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work closer. Set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.

There's a seperate type of page to list your Exhibits, Shows, or resume.

The Contact pages come complete with Google Maps and Customizable Contact Forms (that can even use Google ReCaptcha).

You'll have almost complete control over the Fonts (including Google Fonts and FontAwesome). If you want a different font, you can go to the Google Font page and just copy the name of the font you want, paste it into the space for it in one of the "helper" editors, and press Update. As soon as the page is reloaded, you'll be able to choose that font from the dropdown list of fonts available in the "helper" editors and in the built-in HTML editor. Font-Size, Weight, and Color can all be controlled from the "helper"editors, too.

Promotional Template, Rogers Park Style

by Fourth Ring Software

Promote your product, store, or service using dramatic animated text and pictures, making full screen statements with links to more information.

Simple controls let you control the font, size, weight, and color of the text to be animated. Choose animations from the Animate.css library, The Textulate library, or other animations that are included. Decide how you want it to animate in. If and how it's going to animate out. Where you want it to be on the screen, and for how long.

There can be an unlimited number of sentences or paragraphs, each animated differently and looking differently, too.

And you can link them together, so that one animation won't start until another one finishes. You won't believe how easy that is to do!

You can keep linking them together as much as you want. For example, you can have twelve animations, each one starting after the other. Or you can have two animations start after the first one ends. When the first one of those two animations ends, two (or three, or four) more animations can start. When the second one of the first two animations ends, you can have another animation (or more) begin. You can chain them all together that way.

And they can be doing that over the picture of your choice, or none if you prefer. Though you will still be able to control what color background you want, even if you don't want a picture.


You can change everything whenever you want!


And with the template's Drafting Feature, you'll never have to worry about anyone actually seeing your latest versions until you decide to make it official and Publish our latest enhancements.

Keep in mind that the the first two pages of this template demonstrate the use of Animated Text across the entire screen. The same Animated Text feature exists in Widget form, too, which means you can do the same thing on a much smaller scale, within any given page.

And you can add Animated Text to Slide Shows, too. And Slide Shows with or without Animated Text are also available to use as Widgets. Read more about our Animated Text here.

All of the templates come with both a system-wide header and a page specific one. The system-wide header appears on all or almost all pages. The page level one is specific to the page you are on. This template has a nice way of combining the two. You can have your name appear on all the pages by putting it in the system-wide header. Each page's header can be different by using the page-specific header. But the header itself will look uniform regardless of what page you're on, with only the page specific part changing depending on what page you are on.

A Slide Show or Animated Text Statement in the full page format is meant to get people's attention, which is why all of our templates allow you to control whether or not to display the system-wide header on those types of pages.

FontAwesome is included in all the templates. There is a convenient icon picker to search and choose which one you want.

This template also makes use of one  of the sets of Badges/Lists that it can generate mini-templates from (by pressing a button editor you write with). They come in several different formats. And they are far more customizable than you might think. The mini-template that's used in this template has pictures at the top that can all be changed by clicking on them. The text and all the formating can be, too. And even the image in the background, behind the text, can be changed (or even deleted).


You get all the other features of our templates, too.


Like Grid Pages, Blog Pages, Contact Pages, and more!

While you're writing the blog, you can click the Read More button so it will expand or contract, so it's very easy to move things around and to see how it will look before and after it expands.

When setting up each Blog page, you can control how many blogs display on the page. The ones not displayed will be appear as links in the side column (or beneath the displayed blogs if you choose not to have a side column). The links are automatically generated, taking the title, the first picture, and some of the text from the blog itself. It's a cool feature that you can decide to use in this template at any time.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

The links to blogs not being displayed at the time are also formated in the same way. You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.

When writing each blog, you can also choose to tag them, adding as many single words that you see fit. Once you've begun doing that, the tags will appear appear on the page. When clicked, they operate like filters, displaying only the blogs that are tagged with that word. If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Cool Feature

When you go to sites like the B.B.C. the New York Times, HuffPost.com, or TheDailyBeast.com, they all have small links to other stories that don't really look like links. They're just the words and pictures telling you someting else that you might want to know about. When you click on one of them, the full story comes up. This blogging template generates those types of links for your blogs. All the ones that aren't being displayed have links to them on the side that are just like those links. And it's all done automatically! You can read more about that Auto-Format feature below.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

The links to blogs not being displayed at the time are also formated in the same way. You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.

When writing each blog, you can also choose to tag them, adding as many single words that you see fit. Once you've begun doing that, the tags will appear appear on the page. When clicked, they operate like filters, displaying only the blogs that are tagged with that word. If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Visual Art Template, North Michigan Ave Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template is set up to present a small full page slide show as the first page. Pressing a large translucent button in the center/bottom of the screen takes you to a portfolio page. It uses the Roboto Google Font and a bold header to create an eye-catching site that won't distract from your work.

Each cell in the Portfolio grid has a link that appears when hovering over it (or clicking on a button that will be on it if the device doesn't support hovering). Clicking on that link takes you to a page that displays the four basic types of photos the artist focuses on. Each of the four images there has a Ghost Link that appears when hovering. Clicking on that takes you to another full page portfolio of that type of picture. They're "hidden" pages, additional portfolio pages only accessible by clicking one of the Ghost Links. You can't get to them via the main menu. Unless, of course, you are the owner of the page doing editing. Then those pages are accessible from the menu.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

The Angles Style is definitely a template the more crazed will love, with colorful diagonal backgrounds and the ZCOOL KuaiLe and Barrio Google Fonts.

Visual Art Template, Solidstate Style

by Fourth Ring Software

Fourth Ring Software took HTML5UP's Solidstate design and adapted it into the same CMS in all our other templates! You might have seen the original, dark blue design with cirular images. This template comes with that, too, but it's set up having diagonal shades of alternating white and very light gray as the background, and with slightly rounded corners.

If you don't like the alternating shades of white and light grey, you can choose to have the original dark blue background of large diagonal shades of blue that get darker with each new section. Or you can have them in shades of green or shades of grey. Your choice.

The images can be changed to display with rounded corners or with normal, sharp corners. Or you can have your images display with a circular or oval shape (depening on the aspect ratio of each one).

You can also choose to have the original very wide margins on either side of the content, or you can have the content spread out more when it's viewed with a wider device.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

Tumblr-Like Template, Printer's Row Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template is set up as a Tumblr-like page. You can post any text or picture in a Grid. Clicking on any of the cells will display it full screen.

It uses the "Architects Daughter" Google font and a background picture to create the casual, personal feel. It takes advantage of one of the special Grid drivers that displays each cell with a random size that will be different each time the page is loaded.

The size of each cell in the Grid will be determined at random, maximizing the differences in the size of each cell. Each time it's displayed it the sizes and arrangement will be different. You can control the relative size of each cell in the grid, by moving a lever in the Page Editor. Regardless of the sizes, it wil also maintain the aspect ratio of each image, so the entire picture will always display without cutting anything off.

Unlike the actual Tumblr site, you can have as many of these pages that you want! So you can have different pages focusing on different topics.

It's also customizeable, right out of the box! Don't want a background picture? Simple to change. Just click the "Remove Picture" button and decide if you want the default background color. If you don't want that you can always pick another color for the background.

Don't like something about the text? Also simple to change. You can even choose your own Google Font. It's easier than you might think. The hard part will probably trying to decide which of the thousand they have there.

You're not limited to just displaying everything like a Tumblr page, either. You can also display your images in uniform, fixed sized cells specifying both the width abd height, or with only the height varying and the width constant which can add a uniformity to the page without sacrificing the aspect ratio of any of the pictures.

With the fixed width and height Grids, you can also choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area of the cell with your image. And you can choose to write something that will appear right next to an image, on one of the four sides.

And any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and standardized text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work closer. Set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.


You can read more about Grid Pages here


There's a seperate type of page to list your Exhibits, Shows, or resume.

The Contact pages come complete with Google Maps and Customizable Contact Forms (that can even use Google ReCaptcha).

You'll have almost complete control over the Fonts (including Google Fonts and FontAwesome). If you want a different font, you can go to the Google Font page and just copy the name of the font you want, paste it into the space for it in one of the "helper" editors, and press Update. As soon as the page is reloaded, you'll be able to choose that font from the dropdown list of fonts available in the "helper" editors and in the built-in HTML editor. Font-Size, Weight, and Color can all be controlled from the "helper"editors, too.

You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.

When writing each blog, you can also choose to tag them, adding as many single words that you see fit. Once you've begun doing that, the tags will appear appear on the page. When clicked, they operate like filters, displaying only the blogs that are tagged with that word. If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Visual Art Template, Angles Style (html5up)

by Fourth Ring Software

The Angles Style started with HTML5UP's Solidstate template, but was twisted up, making it into something the more crazed will love. It's ideally suited for people who write concisely, or want to, since it's design automatically puts limits on the length of blogs and most other editable sections.

This template comes with that, too, but it's set up having diagonal shades of alternating white and very light gray as the background, and with slightly rounded corners.

If you don't like the alternating shades of white and light grey, you can choose to have the original dark blue background of large diagonal shades of blue that get darker with each new section. Or you can have them in shades of green or shades of grey. Your choice.

The images can be changed to display with rounded corners or with normal, sharp corners. Or you can have your images display with a circular or oval shape (depening on the aspect ratio of each one).

You can also choose to have the original very wide margins on either side of the content, or you can have the content spread out more when it's viewed with a wider device.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.


There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work up close. And you can set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.

The template comes with a seperate type of page to list Exhibits. And there are Contact pages, complete with Google Maps and Customizable Contact Forms (that can even use Google ReCaptcha).

You'll have almost complete control over the Fonts (including Google Fonts and FontAwesome). If you want a different font, you can go to the Google Font page and copy the name of the font you want, paste it into the space for it in one of the "helper" editors, and press Update. When the page reloads, you'll be able to choose that font from the dropdown list of fonts available in all the editors. Font-Size, Weight, and Color can all be controlled from the "helper"editors, too.


You can blog, too!


Think you might want to start writing about your work? You can always set up a Blog page to do that, too. That's included with this template.

You write your blog using a full blown HTML editor, so you can control much more than just the text. Or, you can just type in what you want without changing the layout at all. It's your choice. The editor works in What You See is What You Get mode, so you're always aware of how it looks.

There's a Read Mode Button feature, so you can decide what and how much of your blog you want to display initially. While you're writing the blog, you can click the Read More button so it will expand or contract, so it's very easy to move things around and to see how it will look before and after it expands.

When setting up each Blog page, you can control how many blogs display on the page. The ones not displayed will be appear as links in the side column (or beneath the displayed blogs if you choose not to have a side column). The links are automatically generated, taking the title, the first picture, and some of the text from the blog itself. It's a cool feature that you can decide to use in this template at any time.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

Promotional Template, North Michigan Avenue Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This is a one page site that displays Animated Text with a background picture. There is nothing else other than a "Ghost Link" that takes you to Twitter. The link's text is a FontAwesome icon.

Simple controls let you control the font, size, weight, and color of the text to be animated. Choose animations from the Animate.css library, The Textulate library, or other animations that are included. Decide how you want it to animate in. If and how it's going to animate out. Where you want it to be on the screen, and for how long.

There can be an unlimited number of sentences or paragraphs, each animated differently and looking differently, too.

And you can link them together, so that one animation won't start until another one finishes. You won't believe how easy that is to do!

You can keep linking them together as much as you want. For example, you can have twelve animations, each one starting after the other. Or you can have two animations start after the first one ends. When the first one of those two animations ends, two (or three, or four) more animations can start. When the second one of the first two animations ends, you can have another animation (or more) begin. You can chain them all together that way.

And they can be doing that over the picture of your choice, or none if you prefer. Though you will still be able to control what color background you want, even if you don't want a picture.


You can change everything whenever you want!


And with the template's Drafting Feature, you'll never have to worry about anyone actually seeing your latest versions until you decide to make it official and Publish our latest enhancements.

Keep in mind that the this one-page template demonstrates the use of Animated Text across the entire screen. The same Animated Text feature exists in Widget form, too, which means you can do the same thing on a much smaller scale, within any given page.

And you can add Animated Text to Slide Shows, too. And Slide Shows with or without Animated Text are also available to use as Widgets. Read more about our Animated Text here.

All of the templates come with both a system-wide header and a page specific one. The system-wide header appears on all or almost all pages. The page level one is specific to the page you are on. This template has a nice way of combining the two. You can have your name appear on all the pages by putting it in the system-wide header. Each page's header can be different by using the page-specific header. But the header itself will look uniform regardless of what page you're on, with only the page specific part changing depending on what page you are on.

A Slide Show or Animated Text Statement in the full page format is meant to get people's attention, which is why all of our templates allow you to control whether or not to display the system-wide header on those types of pages.

FontAwesome is included in all the templates. There is a convenient icon picker to search and choose which one you want.

You get all the other features of our templates, too.

That includes Grid pages, Blog pages, Contact pages, and Timeline Pages.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.

And they are far more customizable than you might think. The mini-template that's used in this template has pictures at the top that can all be changed by clicking on them.

Blogging Template, West Roger's Park Style

Blogging Template, Printer's Row Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template features a large header. It comes set up with the "Mr Bedfort" Google Font, but can be easily change to use any a thousand Google Fonts. (There's a description of the process below.) 

Cool Feature

When you go to sites like the B.B.C. the New York Times, HuffPost.com, or TheDailyBeast.com, they all have small links to other stories that don't really look like links. They're just the words and pictures telling you someting else that you might want to know about. When you click on one of them, the full story comes up. This blogging template generates those types of links for your blogs. All the ones that aren't being displayed have links to them on the side that are just like those links. And it's all done automatically! You can read more about that Auto-Format feature below.

You write your blog using a full blown HTML editor, so you can control much more than just the text. Or, you can just type in what you want without changing the layout at all. It's your choice. The editor works in What You See is What You Get mode, so you're always aware of how it looks.

There's a Read Mode Button feature, so you can decide what and how much of your blog you want to display initially. While you're writing the blog, you can click the Read More button so it will expand or contract, so it's very easy to move things around and to see how it will look before and after it expands.

When setting up each Blog page, you can control how many blogs display on the page. The ones not displayed will be appear as links in the side column (or beneath the displayed blogs if you choose not to have a side column). The links are automatically generated, taking the title, the first picture, and some of the text from the blog itself. It's a cool feature that you can decide to use in this template at any time.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

The links to blogs not being displayed at the time are also formated in the same way. You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.


When writing each blog, you can also choose to tag them, adding as many single words that you see fit. Once you've begun doing that, the tags will appear appear on the page. When clicked, they operate like filters, displaying only the blogs that are tagged with that word. If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Visual Art Template, North Michigan Ave Style

by Fourth Ring Software

This template is set up to present a small full page slide show as the first page. Pressing a large translucent button in the center/bottom of the screen takes you to a portfolio page. It uses the Roboto Google Font and a bold header to create an eye-catching site that won't distract from your work.

Each cell in the Portfolio grid has a link that appears when hovering over it (or clicking on a button that will be on it if the device doesn't support hovering). Clicking on that link takes you to a page that displays the four basic types of photos the artist focuses on. Each of the four images there has a Ghost Link that appears when hovering. Clicking on that takes you to another full page portfolio of that type of picture. They're "hidden" pages, additional portfolio pages only accessible by clicking one of the Ghost Links. You can't get to them via the main menu. Unless, of course, you are the owner of the page doing editing. Then those pages are accessible from the menu.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.


There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work up close. And you can set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.

If there are too many blogs to fit on the page, the rest of them that were tagged will be at the side as links. Clicking the "All" tag/filter will bring all blogs and links back onto the page.

Once you've been writing for a while, you may want to Archive the older ones. That's done by changing the status. If you've begun archiving them, a button will appear on the page. Pressing that will switch the page into Archive mode, with the most recently Archived blogs appearing in the main area, and links to older Archived blogs on the side. There will be a buttton at the bottom of those links so the reader can switch back to reading the current ones again.

And you can have as many Blog Pages as you want, so you can have separate pages for different topics. Read more about Blog Pages here.

You can also set up Links to individual blogs on your site. Link Shapes can be very easily made for the bottom of any page on your side, or inside the overlay of any cell in any Grid page on your site. When you click on it, a sliding panel comes out that displays the blog, and just like you styled it.

Visual Art Template, Angles Style

by Fourth Ring Software

The Angles Style is definitely a template the more crazed will love, with colorful diagonal backgrounds and the ZCOOL KuaiLe and Barrio Google Fonts. It's ideally suited for people who write concisely, or want to, since it's design can place limits on the length of blogs and most other editable sections.

The front page comes with a slideshow at the top, and a portfolio grid and lighttable. There's an elegant Events page, that can list your exhibits, resume, or education.

This template comes with an unlimited number of Grid Pages that can display your art work in fixed width/height cells, variable height, or with a varying width and height with maximized variety of sizes. You can choose to always maintain the aspect ratio or to just cover the entire area with your work. Any of the Grid cells can have an overlay, too, that appears when the cursor is over it, or, for devices without a mouse, if they click a small button.

And all of the features can be changed at any time, so you're not tied down to anything.


There's also the Express Gallery Creation that lets you set up a page, complete with filters, overlays, and text with very few key strokes. And you'll be able to go back and edit it later, adding all the information you want for every piece.

You can choose between two different lightboxes to let your viewers see your work up close. And you can set up as many SlideShows as you want, even with Animated Text in each slide if you want.

The template comes with a seperate type of page to list Exhibits. And there are Contact pages, complete with Google Maps and Customizable Contact Forms (that can even use Google ReCaptcha).

You'll have almost complete control over the Fonts (including Google Fonts and FontAwesome). If you want a different font, you can go to the Google Font page and copy the name of the font you want, paste it into the space for it in one of the "helper" editors, and press Update. When the page reloads, you'll be able to choose that font from the dropdown list of fonts available in all the editors. Font-Size, Weight, and Color can all be controlled from the "helper"editors, too.


You can blog, too!


Think you might want to start writing about your work? You can always set up a Blog page to do that, too. That's included with this template.

You write your blog using a full blown HTML editor, so you can control much more than just the text. Or, you can just type in what you want without changing the layout at all. It's your choice. The editor works in What You See is What You Get mode, so you're always aware of how it looks.

There's a Read Mode Button feature, so you can decide what and how much of your blog you want to display initially. While you're writing the blog, you can click the Read More button so it will expand or contract, so it's very easy to move things around and to see how it will look before and after it expands.

When setting up each Blog page, you can control how many blogs display on the page. The ones not displayed will be appear as links in the side column (or beneath the displayed blogs if you choose not to have a side column). The links are automatically generated, taking the title, the first picture, and some of the text from the blog itself. It's a cool feature that you can decide to use in this template at any time.

There's also an Auto-Format feature that separates the Title, Author, Body, and Date. That allows you to decide which of those elements you want to appear and in what order. And you can always change your mind later.

The links to blogs not being displayed at the time are also formated in the same way. You can decide the order of the title, picture, and text for them, too, and whether any of them will not be displayed. If that's not enough control, there's also a feature that allows you to format each link separately, so that you can decide exactly how you want each link to appear.

Blog links are considered Link Shapes by the system, so there's also a lot of control over the size and aspect ratio of them, as well as the font, font-size, weight, color, and background color. You can even display them in a circle or oval if you want to.
