Hi, I am having a really hard time getting started with using the template. I have read the documentation but there seems to be a lot of assumptions and missing instructions. Do you have a step by step walkthrough of how exactly to use the templates? Say for example, I wanted to use the SEO niche demo. How would I go about setting it up?
Also, I am not using PHP but instead will be using Sveltekit. Will this be a problem?
Hello,
Since Canvas is an HTML5/CSS3 Template, the installation is as simple as Plug/Play. Simply generate a Custom Package here: http://docs.semicolonweb.com/docs/getting-started/installation/ according to the HTML Files you need for your website and our Package Generator will sort the Files for you to download. Suppose, you need the demo-seo.html Template, simply choose this File in the Package Generator and then press the Generate button. A Custom Package will be generated for you only based on your selected file.
And then you can simply edit those HTML Files manually with some knowledge of HTML/CSS according to your needs in a Text Editor like Sublime Text/VS Code and upload it to your Servers using FTP. Sveltekit Integration is not included, so this must be done manually.
That’s it. For more Documentation, please visit here: http://docs.semicolonweb.com/ . Hope this Helps!
For any further assistance, please let us know here and we would be more than happy to help you.
Ok thanks that helps.
Looking at the size of the pages though, it is really heavy and all of them have pretty bad pagespeeds. Are any of the templates lightweight and fast? Thanks
Hello,
Since Canvas is a Multi-Purpose Template, everything is included by default in their Raw Form and optimizations are not included out of the box. These Page Speed results are without any Optimizations: https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemes.semicolonweb.com%2Fhtml%2Fcanvas%2Fdemo-seo.html . And GT Metrix: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/themes.semicolonweb.com/GCQ5I04k/ . So with some Manual Optimizations (which is unfortunately not possible to include with a MultiPurpose Package out of the box), amazing Page Speed results can be achieved. For Optimization Tips consider checking out these Documentations: https://docs.semicolonweb.com/docs/getting-started/website-optimization-tips/ . Additionally, we recommend activating Lazy Loading for Images and other Medias: https://docs.semicolonweb.com/docs/shortcodes/lazy-loading/ .
Hope this Helps!
