What Design Options are

Most blocks have a Design tab in the right-hand inspector. Design options let you override the visual style of a single block without changing the rest of the page. When a design field is left empty (showing “Theme default”), the block inherits its value from the active theme instead.

How to access Design Options

1

Select a block

Click a block on the canvas or in the left sidebar to select it.
2

Open the Design tab

In the right panel, click the Design tab. (If a block has no visual style to override, this tab is disabled — for example Footer, Menu, and Contact Details have no Design tab at all.)
3

Adjust an option

The canvas updates in real time.
To reset a field to its theme default, clear it (or reselect “Theme default” from its dropdown).

​
Typography

Text style options appear on blocks that contain paragraph text, headings, or labels — Page Title, Description, Event Schedule, Event Venue, Couple Names, and others.

The Font Size dropdown open on a block's Design tab, showing the full 0.5×–4× multiplier list

Font Size is not a named scale (Small/Medium/Large/Extra Large). It’s a numeric multiplier applied to the theme’s base size for that text element — pick 1× to keep the theme default, or a higher/lower multiplier to scale it up or down.

​
Card style

Card style options control a block’s container appearance. These appear together on any block with visible card chrome (Description, Coupon Details, About Us, Brand Info, and most others).

​
Effects (per-block)

In addition to Card Background, most card-based blocks expose three more overrides under an Effects group in the Design tab:
Card Surface and Shadow are per-block overrides of the same tokens set globally in the theme’s Surface section (see Themes). Setting them here affects only the selected block; everything else on the page keeps using the theme’s values.

​
Button styles

Button style options appear on the Button block and on blocks with a built-in button (Map, File Download).

​
Icon styles

Icon style options appear on blocks that display a decorative icon. Confirmed live on the Event Venue block (Wedding/Event pages):

Not every block with an icon has this control — for example, Contact Us shows icons but has no Icon colour override in its Design tab.

​
Separator styles

Separator style options appear on blocks that include a built-in decorative line. Confirmed live on the Couple Names block (Wedding pages):
Design tab on the Couple Names block showing Typography, Card Style, a SEPARATOR group with Separator style set to 01 and Separator colour, and Effects

These differ from the standalone Separator block — they’re decorative lines built into specific blocks.

​
Page-level effects

Many blocks’ Effects group lets that block override the theme’s default background, card, or button effect for itself only. See Animated Effects for the full list and how to set the theme-wide defaults.

​
Precedence

Design options follow this priority order (highest to lowest):
  1. Per-block Design tab setting (if set)
  2. Page-level theme override (in the Theme picker’s Customise panel)
  3. Preset theme default
An empty field in the Design tab means “use the theme value.” A non-empty field overrides the theme for that block only.

​
Tips

  • Use per-block overrides sparingly. Overriding too many blocks individually makes the page look inconsistent. Apply most customization through the theme, and reserve block overrides for specific emphasis.
  • To highlight a single Button block, give it a distinct button color while leaving all other blocks at their theme defaults.
  • If you want a block to stand out — for a call-out section or important information — set its Card Background explicitly rather than changing the whole theme.
  • Themes — the page-level tokens these per-block overrides fall back to.
  • Animated effects — the full catalog behind the Card Effect and Button Effect options.
  • Blocks reference — which blocks expose a Design tab at all.
