iRostrum offers different levels of customisation to apply your branding and style of your instance. Before choosing your styling options, we recommend you think about how users will access your platform.
For example, FlexIT Auctions only uses the iRostrum auction platform and doesn’t link to any existing website, as seen below
<aside> ℹ️
If so, you must consider: Where will you host and manage your information pages (Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, FAQs, User Guides)?

For example, maaklondon.com is the existing website for Maak
When a user clicks the “Auctions” menu, they are directed to Maak’s iRostrum platform at maaklondon.irostrum.com
The look and feel are aligned, so users feel like they’ve never left the site — and they can navigate back to the main site anytime using the menus at the top.

The iRostrum is built around some core design principles that form the foundation of the site overall and are fixed. These have been built in accordance with the latest accessibility guidelines and are integrated with the core functionality of the auction site. Any enhanced customisation to an instance must keep in line with these core design principles, so as not to compromise on our proven focus on showcasing auctions, lots and bidding.
The standard design is designed to fit within standard screen sizes. - To achieve this, iRostrum is built to have all its content within fixed vertical tram lines.
