Change background

6 min read·Updated 12/05/2026

The background can be changed in two ways:

  1. the entire website or a page.

  2. the background of a row or column.

Tip

To do this, you first need to open the website builder. These are the two steps.

Background of the entire website or page

  1. In the left side menu, click 'Theme'

  2. Click 'Backgrounds'

  3. Choose here whether you want to change the background of the entire website or of the specific page you currently have open.

​This change will only be implemented on desktop and tablet. Do you also want to change the background of the mobile view? Then click on the Mobile icon at the top to display the mobile view.

Row background or widget background

  1. Go to the relevant row, column or widget and right-click on it, so that the pop-up opens.

  2. Click 'Edit Design'

  3. Set the background here under Style.

Do you want to display multiple images with text and links? Then you can also easily use the photo gallery widget.

Set video background

You can also change the background of Rows and Columns to a video background. Open the design menu, as mentioned above.

Then click on Video to add your video link and click 'Update' to implement the video.

Use a Vimeo link to use the video as a background on tablet and mobile (for YouTube it only works on desktop).

Do you want to display a widget such as a photo or text on top of the video background? Then turn on the 'background overlay' in the same menu to create more contrast.
