I’m seeking assistance from the experts here as I’m not HTML/CSS savvy. I’m looking for guidance on codes of how to achieve font consistency on my subscription preference page. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any help on enhancing the overall aesthetics of the page. As I’m working with the default subscription preference page, my options are limited to drag and drop and some basic CSS. So it looks super plain.
It’s really frustrating that there is almost no subscription preference page and subscription confirmation page templates available in the marketplace. It would take people like us who don’t have much HTML/CSS knowledge huge amout of time to figure it out..><
Thanks in advance for any help.
Depending on your licenses (Marketing Pro I think is the minimum) you might have more templates than you think. These are installed in your design manager and all of these come with their own system templates, meaning 404-error pages, login-page aaaand also subscription preferences pages.
The idea is, that you pick a theme (these are called, for example Barricade, Education, Flow or Growth) and pick the according system pages in the settings.
So it might be worth navigating to Settings > Marketing > Email > Subscriptions and change the templates there.
But you also mentioned the marketplace and that it doesn’t have any templates. That’s because the marketplace offers usually complete themes with all sorts of landing page templates. These require to have a subscription preference page as well; otherwise they couldn’t be listed as far as I know.
Therefore, you can install a couple of free themes like Focus or Sprocket Rocket, try if you like one and then use its preference pages.
I think it’s much more worth looking into off the shelf stuff instead of hiring someone to help you code something that has been done already a lot.
Hope this helps. If you found this post helpful, consider helping others in the community to find answers faster by marking this as a solution. I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Things are getting a little bit clearer for me now.. but I’d like more clarification here please.
For example, I chose the template Freeflex. It requires me to create a child theme to have the access to editing. I did so. Then I got a Freeflex child file. In the file, there is basically nothing but a freeflex-base.html.
I thought I would just need to replace the image url or the color code within the cloned child file, but it seems not the case.
Can you please shed some light on what the right next steps are?
sure! Child themes are very cool. They work in a way to give you more control over your theme in the areas you actually need it.
Yes, it looks almost empty. But all the files from the original are linked to your child and are available as for example, templates when creating a new webpage. So if the original theme is a file at this path:
That file is also available in the child, even though it isn’t visible.
But let’s say you want to change example.html. Put your own spin on it. You can recreate that file from the original under the same path within your child-theme. Now the new one with your changes becomes the one accessible for website pages.
The reason for this are updates from the developer. If the developer of your theme introduces changes to example.html these changes are feed into your child. But if you’re using your own version, updates aren’t possible, of course.
