Templates and artwork libraries that get customers designing in seconds
Most shoppers do not start from a blank page. The Cmsmart Ecommerce plugin lets you load templates, cliparts, fonts and backgrounds per category from wp-admin, and lets customers add their own photos, so a personalised order starts from something that already looks good.
Highlight featureApplies to Cmsmart Ecommerce 2.17.0Updated October 2026
Customers who are not designers freeze when they have to invent a layout.
Generic libraries do not fit your niche
A florist, a sports club and a print broker need different art.
Rights are unclear
Where an image comes from, and who may print it, becomes your problem.
Assets are scattered
Fonts, art and templates in separate folders are hard to keep tidy.
Example scenario
What good looks like
A club secretary opens your jersey page, picks one of six templates, swaps the team name, drops in the club crest from their phone and adds a number from the clipart panel. It takes a few minutes, and you did not have to brief a designer.
The solution
How assets are organised
A Media group in the Cmsmart admin keeps templates, cliparts, fonts and backgrounds together (2.14.0).
Template library
Build templates once and attach them to the products they suit; the library screen was rebuilt in 2.10.
Cliparts by category
Add art and move items between categories; customers search by category in the designer.
Fonts
Add custom fonts for your brand or your language, with a paginated list for large collections.
Backgrounds
Offer backgrounds for products that need one.
Customer photos
Shoppers upload from their device or from sources you enable. Remote images are accepted only if they are real images (2.16.1).
Global clipart on or off
A switch turns the shared Cmsmart clipart library off for shops that want only their own art (2.14.1).
