- No breadcrumb on landing pages Landing page layouts link the shared header including the breadcrumb; unlink and rebuild, or hide it by CSS on those layouts.
- Change the language selector Override pagelayout/header/language_selector.tpl in your design extension.
- Change the header's user menu The user menu (Sign in, Register, basket, administration ...) is pagelayout/header/user_menu.tpl and menu.ini [HeaderUserMenu].
- Change the header search Override pagelayout/header/search_box.tpl; the form posts to /content/search.
- Change the logo The logo is content/parts/site_logo.tpl and the site info object's site_logo field.
- Redesign the landing pages in the editor Landing pages are layouts: rearrange their blocks, change view types and item views - no deploy.
- A different background per layout Put a Column (with background color and container) as the first block of a zone to give one layout its own band style.
- Use the component style variants The exp_component_* blocks come with style view types (hero_style_1 to 3, features_style_1 to 7, about_style_1 to 5, logos_style_1 and 2, lead_style_1 and 2, quote_style_1).
- Print styles for articles Print rules belong in your stylesheet (@media print) on the classes the templates write.
- Dark color scheme for the site CSS with prefers-color-scheme on the design's classes; no template or layout change.
- Make a redesign faster Fewer blocks per layout and cached pages: measure before and after.
- Check accessibility after a redesign Headings, alt texts, contrast, keyboard: check templates and the blocks editors filled.
- Roll out a redesign step by step New templates behind new view types first, then switch blocks page by page, then retire the old looks.
- Migrate examples, every page The 34 examples of the migrate phase of a site's life, each one task done in the Layouts editor and with templates. Move layouts, settings and templates between installations, versions and sites.

- Move only some layouts --only with the layout identifiers; the shared layouts they link to come along.
