Is the Syntax template free?

Yes. You can download Syntax free (MIT licence) and host it yourself, or customise it in Kitefolio and publish it free at a Kitefolio address. Your own domain comes with Pro, from AED 40 a month.

Can I use Syntax without coding?

Yes. In the Kitefolio editor you click any text or photo on Syntax to change it, import your CV or LinkedIn, and publish in a few minutes. No code is needed.

Does Syntax work on phones?

Yes. Syntax adapts to any screen size and was tested on phones, tablets and desktops, and with reduced motion.

Can I change the colours and fonts of Syntax?

It comes with 3 colour schemes (Daylight, Ink, Night shift). Font pairings: Space Grotesk + JetBrains, Instrument Sans + JetBrains. You switch them in the editor's Design panel.

Can I switch from Syntax to another template later?

Yes. Your content is kept separately from the design, so you can move to any other Kitefolio template without retyping anything.
