Open Assets at the top of the left panel, then Styles › Color.
2
Click Brand and pick your church color. Buttons, links and highlights update everywhere.

Do the same for Ink (text and dark areas) and Sky (soft highlights).

For fonts, open Styles › Text. Each text style (Display, Heading 2, Body and so on) changes everywhere at once.

Replace the logo in the Header component and in the footer (Assets › Templates › Main Layout).
The marked list holds every color on the site.

Step 2
Your church details
About 20 minutes
Replace the demo church in these five places.
Address, service times, email, phone and social links. Find it in Assets › Templates › Main Layout.
Phone, email, address and the location of the Google Map.
These are examples. Replace them with your own legal text.
Site title, description, language, favicon and social image. Open Settings from the menu at the top left.
Block MORROW-SEO: church name, website, address, phone, email and social profiles. Search engines read these values.
Assets › Templates › Main Layout. Header and footer live here, so every page follows.
Step 3

About 45 minutes
Sermons and events live in the CMS, Framer’s built-in content manager. Add an entry once and it appears on every page that shows it.

Tip: event posters work best at 4:3 with the text inside the center square, so they also crop well on cards. Past events hide themselves the day after their date.
Step 4
Forms
About 10 minutes
Morrow has four forms. Tell each one where to send submissions.
Contact
Plan Your Visit
Event sign-up
Newsletter in the footer
1
Click a form on the canvas, for example the card on the Contact page.

In the right panel under Form, open Send to and enter your email address, or pick an integration.
3
Change the confirmation text in the Success Text of the form’s Submit Button.
4
Publish and send yourself a test message.
Form settings in the right panel.
Keep these names: the Submit Button variants Success and Light Success. The style block MORROW-FORM-SUCCESS uses them to hide the fields after sending.
Step 5
Domain and publish
About 15 minutes
1
Click Publish at the top right. Your site goes live on a free framer.website address.
2
For your own domain, open Settings › Domains and follow the steps. Framer shows the DNS records to enter at your domain provider.
3
Open the site on your phone and click through every page once.
Publish, then Update whenever you change something.
Settings › Domains. Connect your own domain here.
Tip: a custom domain needs a paid Framer site plan. DNS changes can take a few hours to arrive.
Reference
Weekly schedule and breaks
Regular gatherings are text on the Events and Visit pages. For a break, select the Schedule Notice on the page, edit Title and Text and switch Show to Yes. Switch it back when you return.
Watch live, YouTube, podcasts
The Watch live button and the YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts buttons link to the platform home pages. Replace them with your channel and show links. Each sermon has its own video link in the CMS.
Footer motto
The large “God is love.” is the Motto layer in the footer. Change Text, Accent (the last word in the second font), fonts and color in its properties. It always fills the full width.
Cookie banner
Select Cookie Banner in the footer (Main Layout) to change texts, colors and the privacy link. Switch Preview to Yes to see the banner while you edit. Map and YouTube links are not blocked by the banner; check what your region requires.
Custom code
Settings › Code lists two entries called API Plugin, one at the start and one at the end of <head>. Click one to open it: each block inside starts with a comment that names it. Keep them unless you know you do not need them.
Sets the site language to English. Change “en” for another language.
Structured data for your church, see step 2.
