Basic and Direct Account customization options

  • Updated

This article explains the customization options that are available on the Basic and Direct plan levels.

The Basic account level is no longer an available plan option for new customers or plan changes.

As an existing SmugMug Basic or Direct account holder, you have access to all the gallery styles, hierarchy, organization, and content-management tools we've created. Plus you're able to customize your site's theme!

Get started.

Start by clicking on Site in the navigation bar, select the drop down, and then click on Change Site Theme in the section bar.

You'll be able to see what each theme will look like on your homepage. Change the theme until you find the look that's just right for you!

When you've made your decision, click on Done to publish your chosen theme—while knowing you can change your theme at any time to suit your mood.

Once you've got a theme in place, consider adding some Content Blocks to your Homepage.

Personalize your homepage.

Select Site in the navigation bar, then click Customize Design in the section bar to reveal all the goodies you can add to your homepage. You'll have access to Content, Themes, Background, and Layout.

On this example, we've added the Profile content block (found under Social) and a Folders, Galleries, & Pages content block (found under Galleries) displaying our available content.

All existing Basic and Direct accounts also include video uploading, storage, and playback!

Customization features available only to Power, Portfolio, and Pro accounts.

  • Pages
  • Menu navigation
  • Featured events (Pro only)
  • Vimeo
  • Text blocks
  • Visitor comments
  • Feeds
  • Search box
  • Google calendar
  • Wufoo forms
  • HTML

Important: Although you have the option to change gallery styles, customizing those gallery styles is a feature only available on Power, Portfolio, and Pro accounts.
