What is a Simple starter design?
By Nimanto 1 min read
In short
A Simple starter is the plain, free design at the end of every occasion in the catalogue: a cover, when and where with a countdown, the occasion's practical details, the RSVP, the album and sharing. There is no blank canvas for hosts; every invitation starts from a design.
Not every occasion needs a painted scene. For a quick, clean invitation, or an occasion with few designs yet, there is always the Simple starter.
What a starter is
- One plain design per occasion and per sub-occasion, named "Simple Indian Wedding", "Simple Kids' Party", "Simple Garba Night" and so on.
- Always Free.
- Its pages: the cover, "When & where" with a countdown, the families page on weddings, the occasion's practical details, the RSVP with a reply-by line, the guest photo album (on Nimanto Pro and Business; a starter is a free design, so on Free it has no album) and sharing.
- Its cover follows the occasion: a bridal shower shows the bride's name alone, a sweet sixteen its age, a baptism opens "Please join us for the baptism of".
Starters take your details like any design, so the form fills them in; see Smart fields.
Find it
- 1Open the catalogue and choose an occasion or sub-occasion.
- 2Scroll past the designs: the starter is last, labelled Simple starter.
- 3Choose Use this design.
Starters show only once an occasion is chosen. When you search across all occasions, matching starters are added to the results.
Is there a blank canvas?
No. Nimanto's blank template is an admin tool and is never offered to hosts. Every invitation starts from a design, which keeps the opening, the pages and the reply working from the first minute. If you want a design of your own, Design Genie paints one from your brief.
