Images sources

Illustrations are from freepik and some require a Premium subscription which is about $90 but it's all worth it:

Changing The Logo

- Place your image file in the images folder
- Open for editing index.html
- Find Navbar section
- Here find this line of code:

<a class="navbar-brand logo-image" href="index.html"><img src="images/logo.svg" alt="alternative"></a>

- And replace logo.svg with your new file name
- Save the file and refresh the browser window to see the changes

Changing Header Background Image

- Edit and save the image file in the images folder
- Open for editing css/styles.css
- Find the Header section:
- And at the Min-width width 992px find the background property of the header class:

.header {
	background: url('../images/header-background.jpg') center center no-repeat;
	background-size: cover; 
}

- And replace header-background.jpg with your own file name
- Save the file and refresh the browser window to see the changes

Changing Regular Section Background Image

- Edit and save the image file in the images folder

- Here find the following lines:

.slider-2 {
	padding-top: 7.5rem;
	padding-bottom: 7rem;
	background: url('../images/testimonials-background.jpg') center center no-repeat;
	background-size: cover; 
}

- And replace testimonials-background.jpg with your own file name
- For optimum results with the least amount of work I recommend using the same image size as the original in Preview

ICONS

Font Awesome Icons

Evolo uses Font Awesome icon font in many sections and elements.

To change one of the Font Awesome icons you can simply replace the classes that you'll find in index.html e.g. fa-phone, fa-envelope, fa-chrome with the ones that you need from http://fontawesome.io/icons/

Social Media Icons

To change social media icons in the Footer section of the template, you need to:
- Open index.html from the template folder
- Find the section Social Media in the Footer:
- And replace fa-facebook, fa-twitter, and so on... with the classes name that you need from http://fontawesome.io/icons/ in the Brand Icons section
- Also don't forget to replace href="#your-link" with the link to your social page or account

Social Media Tip

If you want to control the way the posts look like when you share the landing page on social media (Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn especially) don't forget to update the OG Meta Tags (OpenGraph) in the Head section of the index.html file.

<meta property="og:site_name" content="" /> <!-- website name -->
<meta property="og:site" content="" /> <!-- website link -->
<meta property="og:title" content=""/> <!-- title shown in the actual shared post -->
<meta property="og:description" content="" /> <!-- description shown in the actual shared post -->
<meta property="og:image" content="" /> <!-- image link, make sure it's jpg -->
<meta property="og:url" content="" /> <!-- where do you want your post to link to -->
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />

REQUEST, CONTACT & PRIVACY POLICY FORM

To receive emails with data from your visitors simply change the line $EmailTo = "yourname@domain.com"; to your email address in the php folder in the following files:

  • requestform-process.php
  • contactform-process.php
  • privacy-process.php

Attention:The script only runs online (on a liver server with PHP support) so the forms will not work while the landing page is offline on your hard-drive

If you want to change input fields names, you will need to update them accordingly in the following files:

  • index.html, scripts.js and the php file from the php folder.

Setup A Redirect Page On Form Submit

To setup a redirect to a thank you page on form submit, you need to:
- Open js/scripts.js inside the template folder
- Find the following block of code in the form section

function cformSuccess() {
	$("#ContactForm")[0].reset();
	csubmitMSG(true, "Message Submitted!")
}

- And change it to:
function cformSuccess() {
	$("#ContactForm")[0].reset();
	window.location.href = "https://yourlinkhere.com";
}

- And replace inside the quotes https://yourlinkhere.com with your link
