Customizing Your Site

Customization Explained

Icon

Description automatically generated

This page explains how to do basic customization of your Evolve Site. It does not cover more advanced topics such as how to create themes, or how to create custom layouts and behaviors.

If you are interested in bespoke customization, please speak with your Account Manager.

There are several ways you can customize Evolve.

You can:

Change the logos of the top-level Evolve Site, or on your individual model Sites

Use custom images for your Sites on the multi-sites page

Use custom menu icons for pages in your Site.

In addition, some layouts or behaviors used in Evolve may also require some tasks that fall under the banner of customization in order to work - for example using the External Picture layout requires uploading images to a Custom Site folder.

Custom Sites

Most Evolve customizations, and some built-in layouts or behaviors, require that you publish your Site as a Custom Site. What this means is that you create a Custom Site folder on your Evolve web server, where you can store any CSS, images or other files you may need, and then ensure you reference this folder on your Deployment node settings before publishing your Site.

Depending on the particular customization, or the specific layout or behavior you plan to use, there may be special requirements for additional folders in this Custom Site folder structure. The help explaining those elements will detail any such requirements.

To create and use a basic Custom Site folder:

1.On your Evolve server, browse to <your-evolve-install-path>/Site/bin/webDesigner/custom/.

2.Create a new folder.

The folder name must not have any special characters or spaces.

3.In your new folder, create a sub-folder and name it 'images'.

4.When you Publish your Site, ensure you select the folder in the Deploy Custom Site setting on the Deployment node.

If Evolve Designer was already running when you created the new folders, close it and re-open it again for it to be able to see the new folder exists.
