☾☾ Step-by-Step Guide

How a Family Moon map
comes together.

Two, three, or four moons on the same print — each rendered for its own date, place and time. The whole family's milestones in one piece, scientifically true to the night sky.

Up to four moons

Two, three, or four moons on a single print. Each one its own moment.

Per-moon details

Each moon gets its own label, location, date, time and colour — they're independent, not shared.

Four layouts

Classic landscape, Banner, Captioned, or 2×2 Portrait — the layout that suits a quartet of memories.

Real moon phases

Astronomical data, computed for each moon's exact moment — no two phases the same.

The Four Tabs
01 Design

How many moons. What layout.

The Design tab decides the structure of the print before you fill in any details. Pick how many moons you want and how they're arranged — the rest of the customiser adapts automatically.

Design step of the Family Moon Map customiser

Composition

Classic, Banner, Captioned, or Portrait 2×2 — four ways to arrange the title, the moons, and the bottom message.

Select Template

Two, three or four moons. Tap and the print rebuilds — your existing details carry over for the moons that remain.

Background

Starry Night, Galaxy, Horizon Fade, or Black. The same backdrop runs the full width behind every moon.

Live preview

Every change reflects on the print to the left. Switch between 2 and 4 moons with no surprises at checkout.

2 / 3 / 4 moons template picker

Two, three, or four moons.

Two for "we met / we married". Three for adding a baby's first night. Four for the whole family timeline. The print rebalances itself for each — moons get bigger when there are fewer of them, smaller when there are more.

You can swap between counts after filling in details and your text carries over for the moons that remain.

Four compositions to suit the quartet.

Classic puts a title at the top and a subtitle at the bottom. Banner swaps the title for a wide horizontal band. Captioned drops the title and gives each moon more breathing room. Portrait 2×2 stacks four moons in a square grid for a tall print.

Portrait 2×2 only appears with four moons — pick another count and the tile reverts to Classic.

Layout Examples
02 Moment

Each moon, its own moment.

The Moment tab is where the family map differs from a single-moon print. Every moon has its own collapsible accordion: a label, a location, a date, an optional time, and a colour — all independent.

Moment step of the Family Moon Map customiser
Per-moon detail accordion — Label, Location, Date, Time, Moon Colour

One accordion per moon.

Each moon expands into its own panel. Label it (We Met / We Married / Baby's First Night). Set its location (different city each? totally fine). Pick the date, optionally the time, and choose the moon's colour — Silver, Golden, Blue, or Pink.

Time is for phase calculation only. It doesn't print, so set it precisely without worrying about clutter.

Label

The phrase that prints under each moon. "We Met", "Baby Arrived", "First Anniversary" — make it personal.

Location

Where that moment happened. Each moon can be in a different city, country, or hemisphere.

Date

The night that mattered for that moon. The phase shape is computed from the actual sky on that date.

Time

Optional, hidden from the print. Used for the phase calculation only — accurate to the minute if you know it.

Moon Colour (per moon)

Each moon can be a different colour. Silver for parents, Golden for the children, Pink for a wedding day — let the colours tell their own story.

03 Text

A title and tagline for the print.

Each moon already has its own label from the previous step. The Text tab handles the print's overall title (top) and tagline (bottom) — the bookends that frame the whole family.

Text step of the Family Moon Map customiser

Title (Top)

The headline that runs above all the moons. "Our Timeline", "The Moons That Made Us", a family name.

Subtitle (Bottom)

The tagline beneath. "Moments Written In The Stars", a date range, a meaningful quote.

Get Inspiration

A button that opens a modal with curated phrases by category — Timeline, Family, Love, Milestones, Poetic. Tap one and it drops into the field.

Select Font

Nine families spanning serif, sans, hand-script and modern display. Each tile renders in its own typeface.

04 Finish

Pick your finish.

Print, framed or canvas. Sizes scaled to the wider landscape format (or taller, with Portrait 2×2). Live total before checkout.

Finish step of the Family Moon Map customiser

Product Type

Print on 260gsm photo lustre, Framed in Black, White, Natural or Dark Brown, or gallery-wrapped Canvas with hanging kit.

Frame Colour

Appears once you choose Framed. Four wood finishes, instant preview on the print to the left.

Size

40×30 cm through to 80×60 cm landscape (or A4 / 30×40 / 40×50 / 50×70 / 60×80 in Portrait 2×2). Bigger sizes hold more moon detail.

Gift Options

None, Ribbon Wrap, Gift Wrap, or the full Bundle (+£4.99). Bundle saves about £1 vs. picking ribbon and wrap separately.
