Choosing a Site Theme

A site theme controls how cards, buttons, and panels look across your whole organization — public pages and the admin dashboard — so everything feels cohesive. Choose hard raised blocks, calm tonal surfaces, or a warm dark environment. It is separate from your website design layout (Conversation Starter, Bento Grid, and so on) and separate from your organization brand color.

Note

Changing the theme updates both the public site and admin tools. Your content, layout, and brand color stay the same — only the surface treatment changes.

The three themes

Classic

The default. Thick dark borders, cream backgrounds, and chunky hard shadows — the raised-block look most Hubl sites use today.

Stillwater

Calm and modern. A cool gray canvas with clean white cards, soft rounded corners, and no shadows — hover states use a gentle tint instead of a lift. Good when you want a quieter, contemporary look.

Sanctuary

Warm charcoal surfaces, parchment-colored text, and soft pools of light. It creates a calm, comfortable dark experience without hard block shadows. It pairs especially well with The Gathering Room design.

How to pick a theme

Open the website editor

From your admin dashboard, open your website / landing page editor so you are previewing the public site with edit controls visible.

Open the theme picker

In the editor toolbar, open the site theme control. This is separate from the design/layout name next to it.

Preview and save

Switch themes to preview live. Your content, photos, and brand color stay put — only surface treatment changes. Save when you like the look.

Tip

Your organization brand color (buttons, logo accent, active nav) is unchanged by site theme. Themes only restyle panels and chrome.

Warning

Printed pages and some email previews stay Classic on purpose so hard-copy and inbox clients remain reliable.
