Customize Client Gallery Design: What You Can Set and What Is Fixed

Design settings sit in two places.

The account level is the Settings page in the studio. Everything there is your brand, and it applies to every gallery you publish.

The gallery level is the page where you manage one gallery. Everything there is about that gallery only.

There is no third level. You cannot override the brand fonts or colours for one gallery.

The logo. It runs the full width of the top of the page and keeps its own shape. A wide logo reads well there. A tall, narrow mark takes more of the screen than you might expect, so check it on a phone. SVG is not on the accepted list, so export a PNG.

The two colours. The primary colour is the one clients press, since it tints buttons and links. The secondary colour marks what they choose, since it colours stars and hearts. The page adjusts both so they stay readable on the theme in use. That means the exact shade a client sees can differ slightly between light and dark.

The info block. It is the account-wide place for text that belongs on every gallery. Think of a short studio line, contact details or a note about how to reach you. Anything specific to one client belongs in that gallery's welcome note instead.

Settings also holds a default light or dark state. Do not rely on it to set a particular gallery. The setting that decides what a client sees is the one on each gallery, described below.

Both font rows choose from the same list. Inter is the default.

You cannot upload your own font file. If your studio identity uses a typeface outside this list, pick the closest match for headings and keep the body simple.

A classic pairing is a serif for headings and a sans-serif for body text. Playfair Display or Cormorant Garamond over Inter is one example. A single sans-serif for both rows, at two different weights, is another.

Keep body text readable on a phone. A light weight at a small size looks elegant on a studio monitor and thin on a phone in daylight.

Each gallery has its own settings on top of the account brand.

Light or dark. Choose the theme that suits the work. Dark often suits moody or evening sets, and light suits bright, airy ones. The client can still flip the page between light and dark, and their choice is remembered on that device. So your setting is the first impression, not a lock.

The welcome note. This is the most personal design element you have. Use it to greet the client by name, say what the gallery is for, and tell them what to do next.

The client page switches. Share button, Intro line and Slideshow button are all on by default. Turning one off removes that element from this gallery's page. A private set might drop the share button, for example.

The feature switches change what the client can do rather than how the page looks, so they are only listed here.

This list matters as much as the one above.

Account-wide branding has one practical consequence. A studio that runs two brands with different looks cannot give each its own design inside one account.

The fixed grid has a practical upside. The column count follows the screen, so the page adapts to a phone without any setting. What that looks like for a client is covered in the guide to client galleries on a phone.

Some studios should not buy this for its design.

• A studio that wants to pick a different layout or cover design for each gallery.
• A studio whose brand depends on a typeface that is not in the list of ten.
• A studio that runs two brands and wants both in one account.
• A studio that wants galleries on a domain it owns, rather than on its own subdomain. That limit is explained in the own-domain guide.

If one of those describes you, look for a platform that sells that control. Confirm it is on the plan you would actually pay for.

If you want your logo, your colours and your type on a clean page, the controls here are enough. They cost nothing extra, because there is one plan: $10 a month or $100 a year.

1. Open Settings and enter your studio name.
2. Upload your logo as a PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or AVIF file.
3. Pick a primary colour for buttons and links.
4. Pick a secondary colour for stars and hearts.
5. Set the heading row: typeface, size, weight and colour.
6. Set the body row the same way, with readability first.
7. Write the info block you want under the logo on every gallery.
8. Create a test gallery and set Client sees to light.
9. Open the client link on a phone and on a computer.
10. Flip the page to dark and check the logo, the colours and the text again.

Step ten catches a problem that is easy to miss. A dark logo on a transparent background can disappear on a dark page, so check it in both themes before a client does.

After that, the brand carries over to every new gallery. For each gallery you only choose light or dark, write the welcome note and set the switches.
