1. 01

   STEP 1 OF 5

   Choose the opening scene

   In 02 Design → Main image, choose an Australian coast, country valley or ranges watercolour, a photographic alternative, or your own authorised image. The bundled scenes have matching day/night versions.

2. 02

   STEP 2 OF 5

   Choose the fade and position

   Enable Blend the opening image into the page. Choose None, Top, Bottom, Left or Right as the fade edge, adjust the 10–90% fade length and choose the image alignment. The fading colour comes from your page palette rather than a baked-in white edge.

3. 03

   STEP 3 OF 5

   Decide where the header sits

   Choose a regular header or a transparent header over the landscape. Keep navigation and your headline readable. Australian Horizon provides an opening treatment you can adapt; the scene controls work with other templates too.

4. 04

   STEP 4 OF 5

   Add an optional closing landscape

   Choose Closing landscape, or None to leave it off. Set its own fade edge, length and alignment. A top fade lets the body colour flow into an image at the bottom; choose another edge if it better fits your layout.

   STEP 5 OF 5

   Review both appearances

   Use the preview’s light/dark control, desktop and phone widths. Paired starter scenes switch automatically; a custom upload is retained rather than replaced with stock imagery. Export includes the needed paired assets.
