Vsble gives you a very flexible design system.
Each page and each album layout can be controlled separately for desktop and mobile, so you can create a website that looks strong on large screens and still feels practical and clean on phones.
This article explains how it works.
1. Each Page Can Have Its Own Design
Every page on your website can use its own design.
This means you are not limited to one single page layout across the whole website.
For example, your Home page can look completely different from your Portfolio, About, or Contact page.
You can choose the design for each page in the Design Panel.
Important
Each page can have:
one design for desktop
another design for mobile
So the same page can be styled differently depending on the device.
For example:
on desktop, a page may use a more spacious, editorial layout
on mobile, the same page may use a simpler and more compact design for easier scrolling
Page design Selection for Desktop and Mobile
Page designs can be selected from different template styles or classic grid layout with different amount of rows.

2. Albums Can Also Have Separate Desktop and Mobile Designs
If a page contains albums, the albums also have their own design settings.
Just like pages, album layouts can be set separately for:
desktop
mobile
This is useful because album presentation often needs to work differently on different screen sizes.
Example
You may choose:
a more elaborate, animated album layout on desktop
a more practical 2-column grid on mobile
This allows you to create a richer visual experience on large screens while keeping navigation simple and user-friendly on smaller screens.
Album design Selection for Desktop and Mobile
Album designs can be selected from different template style, classic grid layout with different amount of rows or vertical or horizontal scroll options with different captions placing options.

3. Album Designs Always Apply to All Albums on the Same Page
This is an important rule:
If you change the album design for a page, that design will apply to all albums on that page.
So album designs do not get assigned individually to each album.
Instead, the page defines how the albums on that page are displayed.
Example
If your page Portfolio contains the albums:
Fashion
Portraits
Travel
and you assign a certain album design to that page, then all three albums on that page will follow that same album design.
This keeps the page visually consistent.
4. Different Pages Can Use Different Album Designs
While all albums on one page share the same album design, different pages can use different designs.
That means:
Page A can use one page design and one album design
Page B can use another page design and another album design
Example
Your Portfolio page may use a minimal album layout
Your Journal page may use a more dynamic album layout
Your Archive page may use a clean grid-based album layout
So the design is consistent within a page, but does not need to be the same across the entire website.
5. What a Template Actually Is
A template in Vsble is not just one single design.
A template is a combination of:
page designs
album designs
desktop settings
mobile settings
So when you select a template, you are selecting a predefined combination of how pages and albums are designed across desktop and mobile.
6. Templates Can Be Changed Independently for Desktop and Mobile
One of the most powerful parts of the system is that you can change designs independently.
That means you can change:
the page design on desktop
the page design on mobile
the album design on desktop
the album design on mobile
all separately.
You are not forced to use the same design logic on every device.
Example
You could use:
a bold full-width page design on desktop
a cleaner stacked page design on mobile
an animated album layout on desktop
a simple 2-row grid album layout on mobile
This gives you much more control over how visitors experience your site.
7. You Can Save Your Own Template Setups
Once you have combined designs the way you want, you can save that setup as your own custom template.
This allows you to:
create your own design versions
switch between them later
restore a saved setup without rebuilding it again
Your saved template can include your chosen:
page designs
album designs
colours
fonts
page settings
desktop and mobile combinations
This is useful if you want to test different looks or keep several design directions ready to use.
8. Your Content Stays the Same
Changing designs does not remove your content.
Your:
photos
pages
albums
text
structure
remain in place and automatically adapt to the design you choose.
So you can redesign the look of the site without needing to rebuild the content itself.
9. In Simple Terms
Here is the easiest way to understand it:
Pages
Each page can have its own design for desktop and mobile.
Albums
Albums can also have separate desktop and mobile designs.
Important rule
All albums on the same page always share the same album design.
Templates
A template is a combination of page and album designs across desktop and mobile.
Flexibility
You can change all of this independently and save your own custom template versions.
Example Scenario
Let’s say you have two pages:
Portfolio page
Desktop page design: elegant editorial layout
Mobile page design: simplified stacked layout
Desktop album design: animated album preview
Mobile album design: clean 2-column grid
Journal page
Desktop page design: more minimal layout
Mobile page design: compact scrolling layout
Desktop album design: classic thumbnail view
Mobile album design: practical grid
In this case:
each page has its own design
albums on each page follow the album design assigned to that page
desktop and mobile can behave differently
everything remains flexible and consistent
Conclusion
Vsble’s design system gives you a lot of freedom without making things chaotic.
You can:
choose different designs for each page
set separate layouts for desktop and mobile
assign album designs per page
keep all albums on one page visually consistent
mix and save these settings as your own custom templates
This makes it possible to create a website that feels much more considered, refined, and device-appropriate — without having to rebuild your content every time.
