I have created a letterhead for correspondence, but it is too unfriendly to have to include it in every time.

I would like to use it as a package, but don't know if it's possible.

The problem I see is that the command \setlayer must be done after the \starttext command. If it doesn't then formatting commands such as \sc will not take affect and I believe a different font is also applied.

What would be a user friendly way to implement letterheads (made up using the layers functionality of context?

You can put the layer settings in a setups environment and flush the content when the page backgrounds are applied with the setups key for \setupbackground. \definelayer[letterhead][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startsetups[letterhead] \ifnum\rawcountervalue[userpage]=1 \setlayerframed[letterhead][x=\backspace,y=1cm][width=\textwidth,height=2cm,align={middle,lohi}]{First page} \else \setlayerframed[letterhead][x=\backspace,y=1cm][width=\textwidth,height=2cm,align={middle,lohi}]{Second page} \fi \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][background=letterhead,setups=letterhead] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\page[empty]} \stoptext Wolfgang
