Best practices

  • Check contrast after changing color schemes so text and controls remain easy to read.
  • Adjust layout changes alongside neighboring sections so page rhythm stays consistent.
  • 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.
