Resources to help you edit your site's background.

Whether you prefer an image, a video, or a solid color, you have many options to choose from when styling your site’s background. This guide provides examples of some of these options, and the resources you need to edit your site’s background.

Background solid color

To change the background color ‌of individual sections on your site, you can use the section editor. You can customize your color choices even more by editing your color palette in the Site styles panel.

Background images

Adding background images is a great way to create page banners or add striking visual elements to your site. You can customize these images with a variety of image effects.

Here's an example of a section background image with the Refracted Circles effect:

Background art

Adding unique background art to your page sections using colors, patterns, and shapes is another way to customize your site. You can use a preset pattern or customize it by setting specific shapes, sizes, and motions.
