Styling Projects Created From Templates

ClickHelp offers 6 ready-to-use templates to choose from when creating a Project. A ClickHelp template includes CSS files, script files, images. Each template has its unique responsive design. The templates are tested to work smoothly on various screen sizes including tablets and mobile screens.  

After you create a Project, you get a copy of the chosen template (all its files). They can be found in the ClickHelp File Storage. Therefore, you can edit any of the files to change the Project's appearance. 

Note
To return to a template's initial state, create another Project using the same template and copy the needed files from there, or simply do the back up of the files you are about to change.

Changing Font in a Project Created from a Template

In the example below, you will see how to change the default text font of a template. By default, Open Sans (an online font taken from Google Fonts) is used in the body of this template.
