Template guide
Everything you need to make Polymath yours in an afternoon. Start with the CMS, then the tokens, then the motion.
1. Edit content in the CMS
Stories, Leaders, Issues, Disciplines, Authors and Conversations live in the CMS. Every list, card and detail page on the site reads from it — add an item and it appears everywhere automatically. Mark a story as Featured to put it in the Cover Story section.
2. Change colours and type
All colours are tokens (Paper, Ink, Signal, Muted, Rule, Paper Deep) with a matching Night Edition. Edit them in Assets → Colors and the whole site, including the Day/Night toggle, follows. Text styles (Display, Heading, Body, Meta) set every font size per breakpoint.
3. The masthead and hero
Select the Living Masthead to edit issue number, edition, navigation links and Contents menu items. Select the Living Cover hero to change the masked wordmark, cover image, cover lines and the past-issue stack.
4. Motion
Each section has its own animation. Code components expose their timing in the properties panel; native sections use Appear, Hover and Scroll effects. Everything respects the visitor’s reduced-motion setting automatically.
5. Fonts inside code components
Code components have Font controls. If you swap the site typeface, update those controls too so the masthead, hero, ticker, manifesto and counters match.
6. Audio and forms
Conversation players read the Media URL field — paste any MP3 link. The newsletter and contact forms submit to Framer Forms; connect them to your email tool in the form settings.
