The shop window, painted
A sign painter letters a barber's window in gold leaf with a dark shade under each letter, curves the name over the arch and adds a double pinstripe in the corners. It costs hundreds of dollars and it tells everyone walking past that the place is proud of its craft. Gilt Glass gives your posts the same look, with your name on the glass.
The glass is always the darkest color, so the gold letters stand out. The frame round it is your main color, like a painted shopfront.
The looks in it
- The arch: your name curved over a photo in an arched window, with "Est." and the year
- The door: opening hours on a door pane, days on the left and times on the right with gold dots between, and a cream "Open" card hanging from a nail
- The doors carousel: a pane of hours a page, for normal hours, holiday hours and the week
- The transom: a band of gold letters over a photo seen through the window below
- The numeral: one big gold number, for an anniversary, a price or a date
- The sheen: a photo through the window with the headline painted on a dark glass panel and a glint across it
- The quote: a review in gold capitals with a script word on a ribbon, inside a pinstripe frame
Who it suits
A barber shop, a bakery, a bar, a tailor, a florist, a cabinet maker, a tattoo studio, a studio that wants to look established. It is a good choice for the posts that build trust: the opening hours, a review, "Back open", your tenth year.
Make it read
Gold letters need a few words. Keep the headline to a name or three to five words, and put the rest in the caption. On the door look, three to six rows of hours fit; more than that and the type gets small on a phone.
Your colors
Press Colors and then Your brand and the shopfront takes your main color, the gold takes your accent and the cream card takes your light color. If your accent is not a warm color, the letters will not read as gold, so try Shuffle or keep the style's own colors for these posts.
FAQ
Can I change "Est." and the year?
Yes. Every word on the glass is text you can click and change, the small ones too.
Which hours does the door template hold?
Up to six rows, each a day or a range of days and a time. Write them as people say them: "Mon to Fri, 8 AM to 6 PM".
Can I use it for holiday hours?
Yes. The doors carousel has a page for normal hours and a page for holiday hours, so one post answers both questions.
