It demos <strong>six different types of landing pages<\/strong>, designed as wireframes.<\/p>\n<p>By default, they use simple <strong>color schemes<\/strong> that mimic Bootstrap\u2019s style. You can change any of these colors with ease and they\u2019ll <strong>automatically update<\/strong> on the page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/website-color-scheme\/\">Practical Approach To Choosing Website Color Scheme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also <strong>change the typefaces<\/strong> to see how they look in each design. It\u2019d be cool if you could add your own but the site <strong>only supports 7 different fonts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arvo<\/li>\n<li>Lato<\/li>\n<li>Open Sans<\/li>\n<li>Roboto<\/li>\n<li>Montserrat<\/li>\n<li>Helvetica Neue<\/li>\n<li>BLOKKNeue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The landing page wireframes aren\u2019t very detailed, so this app may not help during later stages in the design process.<\/p>\n<p>However, designers who just want to <strong>capture quick ideas<\/strong> will immediately fall in love with this web app. It lets you change any colors with <strong>HEX codes<\/strong> you can even export with a <a href=\"https:\/\/speculo.co\/#palette=ffffff-025161-001166-eee-f7f7f7-515151-777-030303\" target=\"_blank\">custom sharing link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/speculo.co\/#palette=ffffff-025161-001166-eee-f7f7f7-515151-777-030303\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/visualize-color-palettes-speculo\/02-speculo-color-palette.jpg\" alt=\"Speculo save link\" width=\"1000\" height=\"601\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>If you hover any of the wireframes you can click to <strong>zoom in<\/strong> and get a closer look. It\u2019ll automatically zoom for a fullscreen view, so you can see the fonts & colors up close.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I really don\u2019t think these templates are detailed enough to help with projects in the later stages of development.
