Hi,
in this guide I will explain how to customize Avik in a few simple steps.
Let’s begin! 

Customization with import of the Demo

​As soon as you have installed and activated Avik, you will notice a Notification advising you to install 3 Plugins.
So the first thing you need to do is to install and activate these Plugins.

Now in the Dashboard in the “Appearance” Menu you have seen an entry “AVIK Import Demo”.
Enter this menu.
Visit the “Avik Starter Demos” demo page, choose the demos you prefer and download it for free.
Now unzip the zip file you just downloaded onto your desktop.
Inside you will find 3 files.
From the “AVIK Import Demo” menu select these 3 files respecting the extensions (.xml,. Wie,. Dat) and press the “Import Demo Data” button.
Wait about 5 minutes (It also depends on the speed of your connection) and you will already have your site equal to the demo you have chosen.

Now you can change the content as you see fit, and customize it as you wish.

​As soon as you have installed and activated Avik, in the home of your site you will already have all the sections in order.
To customize it you have to open the Customize and you will have the various controls.

Header Media

Here you can set an image in the header or a video or set the Slider for the header.

If you decide to set the Slider in the header you will have to select the categories from the Slider section.

Background Image

You can select an image for the background of your site

Menus

Avik has 2 menus, 1 for the Homepage and one for posts and pages.
There are 2 menus because if in menu 1 (Main) you set the hooks to scroll through the sections (as a guide) then when you go inside the posts or pages they would no longer work. So you have the possibility to create menu 2 (Secondary) where you can make it exactly the same as the first one, but you will have to insert the various links.

Widget

You have 5 Widget areas: 1 on the Homepage in the Contact section, 2 in the Footer, 1 in the blog and 1 on the Services page.

Homepage Settings

Here you can set a specific page for the homepage of your site, if instead you leave the last posts set, Avik by default will show the page with the blocks in sections.

Additional CSS

here you can further customize the style of your site. Obviously you need to know a bit of code. The changes made here will not change the Avik core in any way.

Footer

Here you can enable Social and Copyright of your site.
