Template instructions (start here)

First of all, thanks for purchasing Primer — I'm thrilled! If you have any questions as you go through the setup process, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Let's get started!

  1. Duplicate this template to your own Notion workspace
  2. Create your site on Super and use your newly created page as the Notion URL
  3. Add your code to your Super settings: Sites > Settings (Gear Icon) > Code
  4. Under the Head tab, add the following code:
    <!-- jQuery v3.2.1 -->
    
    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js' id='script-name-js'></script>
    
    <!-- Product Theme javascript -->
    
    <script defer="defer" async src="https://mattdowney.github.io/primer/site-min.js"></script>
    
    <!-- Primer styles -->
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://mattdowney.github.io/primer/styles.css">
    
    <!-- Add Analytics here (optional) -->

    Under the CSS tab, add the following code:
    /* 
    This is where you update your template's colors.
     
    Select any hex color you'd like for --bg (background), 
    --contrast (text), --accent (accent color). 
    
    Please only change the 6-character hex color.
    */
    
    :root {
      --bg: #E9E5D7 !important;
      --contrast: #070200 !important;
      --accent: #FE5B12 !important;
    }
  5. Set up your pages on Super
  6. Sync URLs

    You can use Sync URLs if you like, but we find that adding pages manually to Super is a much more reliable way to handle page integration. This may change in the future, but we recommend doing this for now.

About

Hi, I’m Simon, Co-Founder of Ko-fi.com, one of the original creator economy platforms.

At 14 I started a clothing company. At 16, I started a printing business. And in my twenties, I grew a MarTech SaaS business from zero to £1M in recurring revenue.

I earned my MBA at Cranfield University and hold a Postgrad Diploma in Marketing, but my most valuable lessons have come from building companies for myself and helping other founders.

You can learn more about my story here.

Read more about me in this interview at IdeaSpace.

And of course, please get in touch directly.

Ko-fi

In 2017, I had the opportunity to help a friend build his project Ko-fi.com into something extraordinary—today it's one of the original creator economy companies that has helped over 500,000 creators earn over $250M!

Artists, Writers, Podcasters, and all kinds of creators use Ko-fi. It can be a simple tip-jar, a place to build a membership community or a super-easy way to sell products and commissions with just a link! Ko-fi is for anyone who wants to start making an income directly from fans.
