Styling the template #back to top
Font Family and Style
Changing font-family is much simpler. Just head to the Google Fonts Collection and copy the link of your desired font and paste it in the head section by replacing the current font. However, to change/vary the font-size you got to look for it in the CSS or note the class name and give it a different size in the custom CSS file.
How to Change Images #back to top
Add all your images you wish to use in your website to the images folder. Please avoid PNG images as they might consume more space on your servers and consume more bandwidth. Also, PNG images takes ages while uploading them to server.
Add Images
If quality is a major concern i.e. if you are using photography demo, images of PNG format is a necessity. So, once again use JPG for better performance and PNG for better appearance. Its up to you.
2. Replacing background Images
Head to the respective class in the CSS file and look up for the background: url() line and replace the image with your own preferred image and save it. For cover images the optimal size is above 1380px and to be exact the images used in this template demo are 1400 px wide and height is above 800 px.
.hero-2 {
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)), url(../images/image-bg.jpg) no-repeat center center;
background-size: cover;
padding: 150px 0 100px 0;
}
3. Replacing images
Its almost as easy and similar to the above process. Just replace the image 'name' with you own and make sure that the path to the image is correct. Its by default like assets/images/yourimage.jpg.
Note:
After done editing your template, save it and check for any broken links or unedited sections. Make sure the images are properly formatted for the lightcase (plugin which is used to popup images) and the are linked to the same image. Now, get ready to upload your website.
