Creating a pretty custom theme for Power Pages can be time-consuming, with countless decisions to make such as choosing the right colours or deciding whether buttons should be rounded or squared. With so many options, it’s easy to lose valuable time that could be better spent developing core functionality.

So I have shared one of my favourite sites that makes getting started super simple and you don’t even need to write any lines of code 🤯

I created the above landing page using one of their available themes, and I’ll show you the steps to be able to do the same.

  Important

Please take time to review Bootswatch MIT licence before using this on a project.

Bootswatch  

Bootswatch is a free library of custom Bootstrap themes that can be used for styling websites. It has lots of custom themes that you can preview and see what you fancy. I built the landing page by using the Quartz theme but I also really like the LUX theme.

Build time  

• Headover to the Bootswatch Github and download the zip file to your computer.
• Unzip the downloaded folder.

  Note

At the time this blog post was created Power Pages supported 5.2.2

To allow the Bootswatch theme to filter through any predefined styling needs to be deactivated.

• Open the portal management app and under your website record deactivate the following web files.

  • portalbasictheme.css
  • theme.css

• Open the bootstrap.min.css web file and upload the boostrap.min.css file from the Bootswatch folder and save the web file.

• Sync Power Pages and you should notice the colours coming through from the custom theme you have applied.
