Knack is best at building completely custom applications, and we understand that customizing the look and feel is a big part of that.

We offer a number of options for customizing the appearance of your Knack apps so you build and design the exact app you need.

Basic layout and colors in the builder

You can customize your app directly from the App Settings section of the Builder, including:

• Colors of the header, links, and buttons
• Your logo
• The main menu style and colors

Embed into your website

You can embed your Knack app directly into your website or blog. Embedded apps will take on the look and feel of your website's design, so they will look completely integrated with the rest of your site.

You can also use your website to display additional content like a customized header, a footer, and additional pages.

You can choose to embed your entire app or just specific pages. There are no limits to the number of times you can embed your apps.
