What it does
Download Monitor handles file management, tracking and protection, but the default download links may not match the look of your site. This extension adds a templating system for download buttons, so you can control fonts, colors, borders and backgrounds and keep every button consistent with your branding. You do not need to touch CSS or code to get there, which suits site owners as well as designers who want quick results.
Buttons are built in a WYSIWYG editor that previews your changes in real time, so you can check the result before it goes live. You can create as many templates as you need and switch between them for different sections of your site. Each button can also display the file name, file size and version number, giving visitors useful information before they click. The buttons are designed to be responsive and accessible across desktops, tablets and phones.
Best for
- Sites already using Download Monitor to share files
- Designers wanting branded download buttons without custom code
