Tier lists can be created through the TierMaker website , a platform that already has some ranking templates ready, with popular themes created by the users themselves. When using a site template to rank your site, you can name and edit the categories however you want, so you only need to create a template from scratch in cases where the theme is not yet available.
Time needed: 10 minutes.
To create a tier list on a particular topic, using a ready-made TierMaker template, follow these steps:
Go to the site creation area:
- Access the TierMaker website ( https://tiermaker.com/ ) and, in the top menu, click on “Make a Template”;
2 - Find the desired list:
In “Search if the Template Already Exists” enter the tier list theme you are looking for. Below the search bar, all the templates already created on the site on the subject will appear. Choose and click on the one that best fits your purpose. If you are not looking for a specific subject, in the top menu you can click on “Categories” and, according to the divisions, find a template with a theme that you find interesting;
3. Edit the template:
After opening the tier list template, click on a category's gear icon. In the dialog box that will open, edit, if desired, the name of the category and the background color of the label. Also if you want, add or delete lines from the template, according to the number of levels you have planned for your ranking. Repeat this process for all other categories. As the changes are automatically saved, after finishing editing, close the dialog box at the “x”.
Notice that next to the gear icons for each category there are up and down arrows. If desired, use these arrows to rearrange the template's levels;
