What are the customizable options?

Domain Name
Choose the domain name you want for your site. We suggest using your school initials and the name of your newspaper. All of our newspaper sites have their own domain names, not subdomains of our site.

Design Template
Choose one of our newspaper templates as the basis for your site. Each of our design templates has numerous customizable options and is capable of hundreds of different looks.

Column Structure
All of our designs have 6 different column configurations for the homepage that you can change in a matter of seconds.

Categories
Typically these should be the major section names in your print edition. We recommend keeping these one or two words long. These categories will appear in both your navigation bar and be set up as a homepage widget.

Homepage Widgets
You can add any of the following widgets to your homepage: categories, video displays, polls, slideshows and galleries, events calendar, a list of recent comments, advertisements, podcasts, twitter feed, social media icons, and more.

Colors
We’ll set your colors for you, but you can easily change any colors on your site with a colorpicker on the Options page. CLICK HERE to find colors that work well on Web sites.
