What is a Stylebook in FSE?

In Full Site Editing (FSE), a style book is a tool that helps you keep the same visual styles and design settings throughout your whole website.

It acts as a central place where you can define, store, and use global styles for different parts, making sure your design looks unified and balanced.

You can find it under Appearance > Editor and then by clicking on the following “Styles” icon.

In this guide, we’ll explore how Stylebook in FSE works specifically within the Spectra One theme, allowing you to maintain a consistent design throughout your website.

1. Consistency and Cohesion

A style book in FSE helps you achieve visual consistency by providing a standardized set of styles for typography, colors, spacing, and other design properties.

By establishing a consistent look and feel across your website, you create a seamless user experience and enhance your brand identity.

2. Centralized Management

The style book acts as a centralized location to define and manage your website’s design patterns. Instead of configuring styles individually for each element or template, you can define them once in the style book and apply them universally.

This simplifies the design process and saves time by allowing you to make updates or changes in a single place.

3. Scalability and Flexibility

With FSE’s style book, you can easily scale your website and adapt its design to evolving needs. As your site grows, adding new templates or blocks becomes simpler as they inherit the predefined styles from the style book.

This flexibility helps you maintain a cohesive design system while efficiently expanding your site’s functionality.

4. Efficiency in Design Iterations

The style book in FSE greatly enhances the efficiency of design iterations. If you need to make adjustments to your website’s visual styles, you can modify them in the style book, and the changes will propagate automatically throughout your entire site.

5. Collaboration and Reusability

The style book facilitates collaboration among design and development teams by providing a shared foundation for visual styles.

This promotes reusability, as defined styles can be easily applied to different elements or templates, fostering a more efficient and unified approach to building and maintaining your website.
