# Setup Wizard Guide

**EasySite Setup** is the 5-step wizard that appears after you activate the theme. You can reopen it anytime from the WordPress admin sidebar.

## Step 1: Site Basics

| Field | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| **Site type** | Business, shop, portfolio, or blog — influences defaults |
| **Site name** | Your business name (header, footer, browser title) |
| **Tagline** | Short description under the name |
| **Main brand color** | Primary buttons and accents |
| **Gradient colors** | Look for heroes, CTAs, and gradient buttons |

Click **Save & Continue**.

---

## Step 2: Layout & Style Preset

| Option | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| **Design preset** | Modern, classic, bold, etc. — overall spacing and typography feel |
| **Header style** | Logo left or logo center |
| **Sticky header** | Menu stays visible when scrolling |

You can fine-tune colors later under **Site Colors & Logo**.

## Step 3: Choose a Starter Website

Pick a ready-made layout:

- **Business** — services, about, contact
- **Shop** — WooCommerce-focused layout
- **Portfolio** — showcase work
- **Blog** — content-first

Demo content is imported automatically. Replace it in the visual editor after setup.

## Step 4: Shop & Payments

**If WooCommerce is not installed:**  
Skip this step — install WooCommerce later when you’re ready to sell.

**If WooCommerce is active:**

| Option | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| **Highlight shop on homepage** | Shows shop section on the front page |
| **Featured products** | Displays a product grid |
| **Create 3 demo products** | Starter Kit (£25), Premium Bundle (£49), Deluxe Edition (£79) — only if no products exist |

Open **WooCommerce Settings** to configure currency (GBP by default for demo products), payments, and shipping.

See [SHOP-SETUP.md](SHOP-SETUP.md) for the full shop workflow.

## Step 5: You’re All Set

Review the summary, then:

1. Click **Edit your site visually** — start customizing the homepage
2. **Invite your client** (Ultimate) — when the site is ready
3. **Manage license** (Ultimate) — if you haven’t activated yet

The wizard marks setup complete. Revisit individual steps by changing settings under **Site Colors & Logo** or rerunning imports via **Site Kit**.
