Switching from a Marquee template to a newer Brine template preserves your site's functionality while offering enhanced features and ongoing platform support.

Why Switch Templates?

The Marquee template group (including Adversary, Alex, Eamon, Ginger, Mint, and Shift) is retired. While existing sites remain functional, switching to newer templates ensures better support and more styling options.

Brine Template Benefits:
