Customizing Your Brand

A fine-dining room and a burger counter should never have the same website. Your site’s look is part of how customers size you up before they’ve tasted a thing — so Lekro hands you the controls. Colors, fonts, logo, layout, the shape of the corners: it’s all yours to set, and you can watch every change happen live before anything goes public.

Where It Lives

Everything is in the Design Studio — open Website → Design. The workspace is split in two: a column of controls on the left, and a live preview of your actual site on the right that updates as you tinker.

The Design Studio: Design, Structure and Looks tabs and a Brand Assets panel on the left, with a live browser preview of the restaurant's homepage on the right, and a Publish bar at the bottom.
The Design Studio — controls on the left, a live preview of your site on the right.

The controls are organized into three tabs:

  • Design — your brand details: logo, colors, fonts, and so on.
  • Structure — the sections that make up each page and their order.
  • Looks — one-click full-site styles and the theme switcher.

Nothing you do here touches your live site until you hit Publish — so feel free to experiment.

Start With a Look

The fastest way to a site you like is to start from a ready-made look rather than a blank slate. Open the Looks tab:

The Looks tab: a Current Theme card with a Switch Theme button, and a 'Pick a look' gallery of one-click styles like Terracotta, Coastal, Charcoal and Saffron.
The Looks tab — switch the whole theme, or apply a one-click style.

There are two levels here:

  • Switch Theme changes the whole skeleton of your site — its layout and structure. Your content stays put; only the frame around it changes.
  • Pick a look applies a curated style — a coordinated bundle of colors, fonts, and shape — in a single click. Try a few and watch the preview repaint instantly.

Pick whichever feels closest to your restaurant’s personality. You’ll fine-tune the details next.

Fine-Tuning the Design

Switch to the Design tab to adjust the specifics. It’s a set of sections you expand one at a time:

The Design tab with the Color Palette section expanded — Surface, Text, Primary/Brand and Accent color swatches with hex values — above collapsed Appearance, Typography, UI Geometry and Footer Settings sections.
The Design tab — each section expands to reveal its controls.
  • Brand Assets — upload your logo, a cover / hero image for the homepage, a dark-mode logo, and a favicon.
  • Header Layout — choose how your header is arranged, like where the logo sits and how the navigation reads.
  • Color Palette — set your surface, text, primary / brand, and accent colors. These flow through buttons, links, and highlights everywhere on the site.
  • Appearance — pick light, dark, or auto (which follows each visitor’s own device setting).
  • Typography — choose fonts for your headings and body text. A serif says something very different from a clean sans-serif.
  • UI Geometry — the corners and spacing. Sharp corners feel modern and editorial; rounded ones feel warm and approachable.
  • Footer Settings — show or hide the footer and decide what goes in it.

Tip: Start from a Look, then nudge just the colors and fonts on the Design tab. It’s far quicker than building a palette from scratch.

Previewing and Publishing

The preview on the right always shows your draft — every edit appears there immediately, but your customers don’t see any of it yet. The footer tells you where things stand: Unpublished draft while you have pending changes, Published once they’re live. There’s undo / redo if you go too far, a Discard button to throw the draft away, and a View live site link to compare against what’s actually public.

When you’re happy, click Publish and everything goes live at once.

Note: Edits stay as a private draft until you publish. Experiment as much as you like — the live site doesn’t change until you say so.

One last habit worth keeping: after publishing, open your site on both a desktop and a phone. A layout that sings on a wide screen sometimes wants a small tweak on mobile.
