The image showcases a blog post titled 'From Concept to Code: The Journey of Product Development with Our SaaS Dream Team' on the Acme website. The featured article, 'Developing an Eye for Design: Unleashing Your Creative Vision,' includes a portrait of a woman and is categorized under 'Design' and 'Research.' The website's dark theme and clean layout create a modern and professional aesthetic.

We're excited to announce the launch of themes for Quotion sites. Now you can create a stunning dark-themed site with just a few clicks.

New theme selector

We've added a new theme selector to the Design page, offering two options:

  • Modern (default light theme)
  • Dracula (new dark theme)

The image showcases a website design interface with a focus on the 'Theme' customization options. The user has selected the 'Dracula' theme, as indicated by the checkmark, which is applied to the blog post preview on the right. The interface features a clean, modern design with a dark color scheme, reflecting the selected theme.

The Dracula theme

Dracula is our first carefully crafted dark theme, designed with professionals in mind.
We've carefully selected background, text, and border colors, as well as fonts, to create a sleek and sophisticated dark experience.
If you're looking to build a dark-themed site, Dracula is an excellent starting point.

7 new color controls

This update introduces 7 new color controls, allowing for greater customization:

  • Text primary color (title, headings)
  • Text secondary color (header link, secondary button)
  • Text tertiary color (body text, card description)
  • Text quaternary color (copyright, inactive tab text)
  • Border primary color (dropdown)
  • Border secondary color (header, divider)
  • Background secondary color (footer, active pagination button)

Under the hood

While we've exposed 7 new color controls, the Dracula theme actually incorporates many more optimized colors behind the scenes. This approach simplifies the customization process while still providing a cohesive dark theme experience.

For those choosing the Modern theme as a starting point for a dark site, please note that you may need to adjust more colors manually to achieve the desired effect.

For professional designers

If you're a professional designer seeking full color customization, here's the complete color palette used in the Dracula theme:
