The Designer and Marketplace
These tools are here so you can make head-turning, eye-catching content with ease.
In the Design section, you'll see two tabs at the top.
Marketplace – access hundreds of professionally-made designs, all for free. Edit to make them your own. Perfect for businesses without in-house designers.
My Templates – your personal storage area for any Marketplace templates or one's you've created yourself.
