Hiya,
I am new into the world of Evolve theming and not really sure where to start in terms of article styles and what works well for certain components etc. I have had a look and can’t really find any clear resources to help with this.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a beginner please? I tried to access some old recordings but it seems like they are no longer available.
Thanks!
Hi Lauren,
A great place to start is to look at the example courses on the Evolve Hub and get a feel for what you like, and what works. Simple things such as changing up article styles every time you change topic, or having one style for articles containing a video, one for something the learnings have to answer/interact with, and then a “summary” style for the end of each page with your summary and instructions on what to do next is a good place to start.
Keep your branding guidelines and other media such as your brochures, websites and other print materials to mind when creating, how do they look and present information? Large colour blocks or simple white backgrounds and enclosed blocks of text. Illustrations or photos? Match your colours and fonts from them and keep things consistent.
Ultimately, keep it simple, with colours and contrasts that draw the eye but are easily readable and accessible, and don’t go overboard. CHoice of font and imagery is also key to make sure the content is clear and attractive.
