Imagine you need a website for your business, a blog page to share insights, a storefront to sell products, and an online course for your students. A theme in ClickFunnels simplifies this by providing a collection of template pages for all of these needs. Themes include templates for your site, courses, storefront, blogs, and more, offering a unified and professional design. In this article, you will learn how to create, manage, and customize themes in ClickFunnels.

Requirements

  1. An active ClickFunnels account

What is a Theme

A theme in ClickFunnels is a pre-designed collection of template pages that define your entire workspace's look, feel, and structure. Themes allow you to:

  • Streamline Design: Quickly set up consistent designs across your site, store, blog, and more.

  • Save Time: Use ready-made templates instead of building pages from scratch.

  • Maintain Cohesion: Ensure all your pages reflect your brand’s style and identity.

Themes are ideal for businesses that want a cohesive online presence across multiple platforms, such as Sites, Courses, Stores, Blogs, and other customer-facing applications.

Adding a New Theme

  1. From your ClickFunnels dashboard, navigate to Workspace Settings.

  2. Select the Themes option.

  3. On the Themes page, click the Add New Theme button.

  4. Browse through the themes that are available through ClickFunnels in the Theme Marketplace.

  5. Select a theme that suits your needs.

  6. The new theme will appear on your list and is ready for customization and activation.

Customizing Theme Page Templates

Each theme includes pre-set page templates, such as a Home Page, Product Page, Blog Page, and more. These templates can be customized to align with your brand’s unique requirements.

To customize a page template, follow these steps:

  1. From the Themes list, click the Customize Page Templates icon for the desired theme.

  2. Make adjustments to individual page templates (e.g., Site Home Page, Store Front, Customer Center, etc.) as needed.

  3. Click Save in the page editor to save your changes.

For a detailed guide on customizing Theme Template Pages, refer to the article Customizing a Theme in ClickFunnels.

Theme Settings

Access a theme’s settings by clicking the Gear ⚙️ icon next to the theme’s name.


Within the settings, you can configure the following:

Custom Name

Provide a custom name for your theme to make it easily identifiable.

Styles

When you create a new theme, a style guide with pre-configured styles is automatically generated. You can select this style guide or create a new one to match your branding and styling preferences. This allows precise control over the theme’s visual presentation, including fonts, colors, and layouts. To create a new Style Guide, navigate to the Workspace Settings » Styles.

Learn more about Style Guide in the article Getting Started with Styles.

Advanced Settings

In the Advanced Settings section, ClickFunnels allows you to override the default template pages for the theme. Each newly created theme comes with a set of template pages. You can replace these with custom pages created in other ClickFunnels apps. For example:

  • To set a landing page as your site’s Home Page, create one in the Landing Page app and select it in the Home Template Page field.

  • Configure template pages for Blogs, Products, Storefront, and more to align with your unique requirements.

Sharing

Themes can be shared with other ClickFunnels users or with individuals who wish to use them for their business. Sharing options include:

  1. Availability: Set the theme as shareable to create a link for sharing, or choose disabled if you wish to deactivate the shared link.

  2. Name: Add a name of the theme for identification.

  3. Author: Insert your name or the name of the company sharing this theme.

  4. Reshare: Choose whether recipients can share the theme further.

  5. Public Affiliate Name: If the person receiving this doesn’t have a ClickFunnels account yet, sharing your template can earn you affiliate commissions if they register using your link. Include a name that indicates who is providing this theme.

  6. Affiliate Code: Select a usable affiliate code as a ClickFunnels affiliate. You can generate an affiliate code as a ClickFunnels affiliate within the affiliate dashboard.

To share a theme:

  1. Click the Create Shared Theme button.

  2. A shared link will be generated in the Sharing section.

  3. Copy the Sharing URL and share with the recipients to import them into their ClickFunnels account.

Activating a Theme

To make a theme active across your workspace:

  1. Click the Promote to LIVE icon next to the theme you want to activate.

  2. Confirm the activation in the prompt.

Once a theme is live, its template pages apply to applications such as Sites, Courses, Stores, and more.

Important:

Only one theme can be live per workspace. However, you can assign different themes for the Blog, Store, and Homepage from the Site App » Site Settings.

Cloning a Theme

Cloning allows you to duplicate an existing theme for modification without affecting the original. To clone a theme:

  1. Click the Clone Theme icon next to the theme.

  2. The cloned theme will appear in your theme list with "Copy" appended to its name.

This feature is useful for creating variations or testing new designs.

Removing a Theme

If you no longer need a theme:

  1. Navigate to the theme list.

  2. Access a theme’s settings by clicking the Gear ⚙️ icon next to the theme’s name.

  3. Click the Remove Theme option in the settings.

  4. Confirm the removal.

Warning:

  1. You cannot delete a theme that is currently live. Ensure you deactivate it before removing.

  2. Removing a theme is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Verify that you are removing the correct theme before continuing with the deletion.
