What you need to know
Customizing your Zenchef website lets you adapt its appearance to match your brand. You can choose from several themes, adjust colors, modify typography, and set background images for each page. Note: changes may take up to an hour to be visible online, but you’ll see them instantly in the live preview.
To edit your website’s appearance, go to the Website tab.
1. Change your website’s theme
The site theme is the template — the base model of your site that you can then personalize with your own photos, colors, etc.
There are 19 different themes available.
-
In the middle column, click on Theme. A list of themes will appear. Select the one you want and preview it on the right.
-
Click Save.
Note: The newer the theme (for example, themes 15, 16, 17), the more responsive it is (meaning it displays well on all types and sizes of screens).
2. Change your website’s colors
You can also change your site’s colors by clicking the Color tab. The effect of these changes may vary depending on your chosen theme.
-
Click on the Color tab.
-
The "main color" will be applied to all pages of your site.
-
The "widget color" will be used for modules (reservation, private hire, click & collect, etc.).
-
Note: You need to click Save before you can preview the result.
3. Change your website’s typography
Each theme comes with its own typography by default, but you can change it:
-
Click the "Typography" button.

You can choose to change the headings as well as the body text.

4. Change your website’s images and photos
