How to Customize Your Next.js Template

Customizing a template can seem daunting, but with the right approach, you can transform any Futurstic template into a unique representation of your brand.

Understanding the Structure

Most Futurstic templates follow a consistent structure:

template/
├── app/              # Next.js app directory
├── components/       # Reusable React components
├── data/            # Configuration and content data
├── lib/             # Utility functions
└── public/          # Static assets

Step 1: Update Colors and Theme

Using TailwindCSS Variables

Open your tailwind.config.ts and modify the color scheme:

theme: {
  extend: {
    colors: {
      'neon-cyan': '#00f2ff',
      'neon-purple': '#7b2fff',
      // Add your custom colors here
    }
  }
}

CSS Variables

You can also update CSS variables in globals.css:

:root {
  --neon-cyan: #00f2ff;
  --neon-purple: #7b2fff;
}

Step 2: Replace Content

Update Data Files

Most templates store content in data/ directory. Simply edit these files:

// data/personal.ts
export const personalInfo = {
  name: "Your Name",
  title: "Your Title",
  // ... update other fields
};

Step 3: Customize Components

Modify Component Styles

Each component can be customized by:

1. Changing Tailwind classes - Directly in the component file
2. Adding custom CSS - In your global stylesheet
3. Creating new components - Based on existing ones

Step 4: Add Your Assets

Replace placeholder images and videos:

1. Add your images to public/images/
2. Update image paths in components
3. Optimize images for web performance

Best Practices

• Start Small - Make incremental changes
• Test Responsively - Check mobile, tablet, and desktop views
• Maintain Performance - Keep bundle sizes optimized
• Version Control - Use Git to track your changes
