Out of the Box Frontend

Administrators and other non-developers can take advantage of an out-of-the-box Search UI with the Hitchhikers theme and Jambo, our static site generator. Together, these tools do the heavy lifting of building out a functional Search frontend automatically. The Hitchhikers theme is updated regularly so you can take advantage of the latest and greatest Search frontend features.

Solution Templates are pre-built configurations you can install into your account. With just a few clicks, you can add a Content configuration, Page Builder templates, frontend and backend Search experiences, and platform settings commonly used in your industry, so you can dive right in to customize your experience to fit your brand.

Standard cards let you show the right information for each type of data in your Search experience. Out of the box cards are available for locations, FAQs, jobs, professionals, products and more. Plus, each standard card can be forked to customize the layout or add more information. Formatters are available to easily display images, dates, and more on your cards.

Yext's in-platform Code Editor lets any low-code user edit and customize their front-end experience with ease. This includes a Live Preview, which automatically generates a view of how recent code edits would impact your frontend experience so you can test your changes before committing.

While the Hitchhikers Theme does the heavy lifting to get your frontend Search experience up and running, your search results page should blend seamlessly with the rest of your website and line up with brand standards. That's why it's easy to update brand colors, fonts, card layouts, and more in the Code Editor. For a developer looking for even greater customization, you could even build a custom frontend from scratch.
