Why the AAM Design Studio Makes Website Design Easy
Creating professional marketing graphics for your business shouldn’t require expensive software or hours of design experience. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of the AAM Design Studio, a brand-new design platform available free to all Aftermarket Websites® website members. You now have access to a powerful, browser-based design studio that makes creating website graphics faster, easier, and more affordable than ever.
Professional Designs. No Subscription Required.
The AAM Design Studio gives platform members the ability to create custom graphics for their website without paying for third-party design software. Think of it as a streamlined, automotive-focused design platform with everything you need to build professional-looking marketing assets in minutes. From homepage banners to promotional graphics, the Design Studio is built specifically for the needs of automotive aftermarket businesses.
Built Directly into Your Website Platform
Unlike standalone design tools, the AAM Design Studio is fully integrated into the Aftermarket Websites® platform. Simply log into your website’s admin area and navigate to:
Content → Design Studio
From there, you’ll have immediate access to all the tools needed to begin creating branded graphics for your website.
Templates Designed for Your Website
No more guessing image dimensions or worrying about incorrect sizing. The Design Studio includes pre-built templates for many of the most used website graphics, including:
- Home Page Banners
- Mobile Banners
- Service Images
- Image Grid Graphics
- Social Media Graphics
- Promotional Graphics
- Additional website image formats
Each template is already optimized for the Aftermarket Websites® platform, allowing you to focus on creating great-looking content instead of resizing images.
Keep Your Brand Consistent
Brand consistency is essential, and the Design Studio makes it simple. Upload your company’s logo once, and it will be stored in your personal uploaded assets library for future projects. Instead of searching your computer every time you create a new banner or promotion, your branding is always just a click away. This makes it easy to create graphics that maintain a professional, consistent look across your entire website.
Access Thousands of Automotive Images
One of the biggest advantages of the AAM Design Studio is its built-in automotive image library. Members have access to an extensive collection of organized assets, including:
- Truck imagery
- Diesel performance photography
- Performance vehicle images
- Automotive lifestyle photography
- Supplier logos
- Product category imagery
- Royalty-free marketing photos
Everything is categorized for quick searching, making it easy to find exactly what you need. The library also includes manufacturer-supplied marketing assets that can be used when promoting participating brands and product categories, alongside royalty-free imagery for more general advertising and promotional campaigns.
Powerful Design Tools Made Simple
Whether you’re creating a simple promotional graphic or a custom homepage banner, the Design Studio includes the features you’d expect from today’s leading design platforms. You can:
- Upload your own images
- Add and edit text
- Layer graphics and design elements
- Customize layouts
- Generate creative assets with AI
- Create branded marketing materials in minutes
The result is a design experience that’s approachable for beginners while still providing plenty of flexibility for experienced users.
Publish to Your Website Faster
Creating graphics is only half the process. Once your design is complete, you can export it directly into your website’s File Manager without downloading and re-uploading files manually. Every exported design is automatically saved inside a dedicated design-studio folder, helping keep your website assets organized and making future edits easier to manage. It’s a workflow that saves time and eliminates unnecessary steps.
More Creative Freedom for Every Platform Member
The AAM Design Studio gives members the flexibility to refresh their website whenever they want.
- Need a seasonal homepage banner?
- Running a truck accessories promotion?
- Launching a diesel performance sale?
- Updating service imagery?
Instead of waiting on outside design resources or paying for another software subscription, you can create fresh, branded content whenever inspiration strikes.
