# Cards

> Configure Everest's global cards settings and the shared behavior they control across the store.

The Cards settings control shared theme behavior across Everest. Because these values affect multiple sections and templates at once, they are best used to set global design direction and core storefront behavior before adjusting individual sections.

## Best practices

* Check contrast after changing color schemes so text and controls remain easy to read.
* Review media-heavy layouts on both desktop and mobile before publishing.
* Change one global setting area at a time and preview multiple templates before publishing.
* Remember that theme settings affect many sections at once, so small adjustments can have wide impact.
