This Global Colors Feature Cuts Color Picks by 80% and Ups Scalability
Note: Starting March 2023, Global Design is called Site Theme.
Yes, that’s right. Sites created from templates that have global colors require 80% less color picks to match a client’s branding.
If you’re looking to cut design time considerably and make your workflow more efficient for the long term, this one's for you.
Plant the seed - Launch the power of global colors in a designed template
If you’ve already designed a Duda site without global colors, we highly recommend trying out the global colors’ automatic generator. It creates a set of global colors for your site based on its most frequently used colors, and automatically connects these colors to your site widgets accordingly. Having this color preset down will pave the way for ultra-easy and fast color customizations when using the same template as a base for future site gigs.
Collect the fruit - Easily adjust site colors to any client’s branding
Every time you base a new site on a template with global colors, all that’s left for you to do is update the global colors list with your client’s brand colors (in the Editor’s left panel) - with just a few simple clicks.
Let's follow an example that shows how it all comes together.
Agency’s site workflow - Before using global colors
Wave Agency built a Bakery template for a bakery site 6 months ago. The design was mostly manual, and the agency’s team connected colors to widgets, one by one. So if the bakery client wanted to change colors, or if that template was to be used as a base for future sites, the agency’s team would need to manually replace all the colors in the site to match the next client’s brand, going page by page, and yes, widget by widget again.
Agency’s site workflow - After using global colors
Wave Agency decided to try out Duda’s global colors feature. The team generated a global colors palette for the Bakery template using the ‘Do it For Me’ option. The end result is a set of global colors set up and connected to the different widgets in the template.
A week later, a chocolatier reaches out to Wave Agency and asks them to build her a website. The design team decides to use the Bakery template for this. All that’s needed to transform the template to match the chocolatier’s colors is to update the global colors of the template.
As you can see, using global colors cuts design time considerably and lets your agency scale up.
You should know that most of Duda’s popular templates are already updated with global colors to make it super easy for you to build more sites even faster, and for a larger number of clients.
