A Style Guide helps you maintain consistency in your page's design by applying predefined styles to fonts, colors, buttons, and other design elements. Instead of manually adjusting individual components, the Style Guide allows you to apply changes quickly and uniformly across the entire page. This article explains what a Style Guide is, how it benefits you during page editing, and the different ways to apply or access it within your ClickFunnels page editor.

An active ClickFunnels account
A page created in your workspace
What is a Style Guide?
A Style Guide is a centralized tool that allows you to define and manage design settings—such as fonts, colors, spacing, and other visual styles—across all pages that are using the same guide. Instead of customizing each element individually, the Style Guide ensures consistent design rules are applied automatically, creating a cohesive and professional appearance.
For example:
If your brand uses specific colors for headings, buttons, and links, you can set these preferences in the Style Guide.
If you update your font or adjust button styles, the changes will automatically apply to all pages connected to the same Style Guide, saving you time and effort.

Where Can Style Guides Be Applied?
Style Guides can be applied to various areas to maintain consistent branding and design. Here's a breakdown:

Funnels: Assign a Style Guide to all pages within a specific funnel, such as opt-in, sales, or thank-you pages, to ensure a cohesive design.
Courses: Apply a Style Guide to your course home, modules, and lessons for consistent course styling.
Blogs: Use a Style Guide to style the Blog Home page as well as individual blog posts.
Store Pages: Assign a Style Guide to the Store Home (storefront) and individual product pages for a seamless shopping experience.
Landing Pages: To meet unique design requirements, apply a Style Guide to specific pages (e.g., About Us or Contact).
